First results of proton injection commissioning of the AGS booster synchrotron

Abstract

Beam performance for the injection phase of prctoD beam commissioning of the AGS Booster synchrotron will be presented. The beam from the 200 MeV Linac is transported through a new beam line into the Booster. This LJnac-to Booster (LTB) beam line includes a 126°b end and brings the injected beam onto the Booster injection orbit through the backleg of a main ring dipole magnet. Transfer of beam from the Linac to the Booster, spiralling beam and closing the orbit in the Booster ring are discussed. Injection and transport through one sector of the ring has been accomplished.
