Measurement of UNILAC and SIS18 proton performance

On July 16th 2016 the UNILAC and SIS18 proton performance has been measured. Due to scheduled maintenance works of the UNILAC's rf-system, the post-stripper energy was restricted to 5.9~MeV and accordingly the beam quality suffered considerably from the interruption of the periodic focusing system. This limitation will not be any longer in future beam times. Six single-gap resonators were used for acceleration to 10.7~MeV. After an optimization of the multi-turn injection $\pmb{1.2\cdot10^{11}}$ protons were extracted form the SIS18
