Performance and Measurements of the Fermilab Booster
نویسندگان
چکیده
We will describe measurements of the beam in the Fermilab Booster during the first five milliseconds. Most of the particle losses in the Booster are over after the first few milliseconds. At high intensity of 4 × 10 the transmission is 75%. Such high beam loss can be a limiting factor for future high repetition rate operation of the Booster. The evidence, although indirect, suggests that the losses are the result of incoherent space-charge effects at low energy.

Operational Use of Ionization Profile Monitors at Fermilab*
Ionization profile monitors (IPMs) are installed in the Fermilab Booster, Main Injector and Tevatron. They are used routinely for injection matching measurements. For emittance measurements the IPMs have played a secondary role to the Flying Wires, with the exception of the Booster (where it is the only profile diagnostics). As Fermilab is refocusing its attention on the intensity frontier, non...
متن کاملChallenges to the Fermilab Linac and Booster Accelerators*
A report on the challenges confronting the Fermilab Linac and Booster accelerators is presented. Plans to face those challenges are discussed. Historically, the Linac/Booster system has served only as an injector for the relatively low repetition rate Main Ring synchrotron. With construction of an 8 GeV target station for the 5 Hz MiniBooNE neutrino beam and requirements for rapid multi-batch i...
متن کاملSimulation of the Fermilab Booster using Synergia
High precision modeling of space-charge effects is essential for designing future accelerators as well as optimizing the performance of existing machines. Synergia is a highfidelity parallel beam dynamics simulation package with fully three dimensional space-charge capabilities and a higher-order optics implementation. We describe the Synergia framework, developed under the auspices of the DOE ...
متن کاملStatus of the Proton Driver Study at Fermilab
In order to enhance Fermilab hadron research program and to provide a proton source to a future muon storage ring or a muon collider, the study of a new high intensity proton machine called the Proton Driver is being pursued at Fermilab. It would replace the present linac and 8 GeV Booster and produce 20 times the proton intensity as the Booster. This paper gives a status report on a number of ...
متن کاملBeam Diagnosis and Lattice Modeling of the Fermilab Booster
Xiaobiao Huang Beam Diagnosis and Lattice Modeling of the Fermilab Booster A realistic lattice model is a fundamental basis for the operation of a synchrotron. In this study various beam-based measurements, including orbit response matrix (ORM) and BPM turn-by-turn data are used to verify and calibrate the lattice model of the Fermilab Booster. In the ORM study, despite the strong correlation b...
