Alignment and Aperture Scan at the Fermilab Booster
K. Seiya, J. Lackey, W. Marsh +4
The Fermilab booster has an intensity upgrade plan called the Proton Improvement plan (PIP). The flux throughput goal is 2E17 protons/hour, which is almost double the current opera…
The FNAL injector upgrade
C. Y. Tan, D. S. Bollinger, K. L. Duel +2
The present FNAL H- injector has been operational since the 1970s and consists of two magnetron H- sources and two 750 keV Cockcroft-Walton Accelerators. In the upgrade, both slit-…
Study Report of the Booster Transition Jump System
Xi Yang, Charles M. Ankenbrandt, William A. Pellico +1
There are more than 15 years since the transition-jump system (TJS) was installed. Because of the quad steering, which is caused by the beam not being well centered through all the…
Reshape of the Bunch-by-bunch BPM Signal to a Turn-by-turn Matrix during the Fast RF Frequency-sweeping Time in Booster
Xi Yang, Charles M. Ankenbrandt, James Lackey +1
The bunch-by-bunch BPM signal array has to be reshaped into a turn-by-turn (TBT) matrix in order to make the TBT beam position information of a single bunch available for further d…
Booster 6-GeV Study
Xi Yang, Charles M. Ankenbrandt, William A. Pellico +3
Since a wider aperture has been obtained along the Booster beam line, this opens the opportunity for Booster running a higher intensity beam than ever before. Sooner or later, the…
