We report the results of observations of H- beam instabilities at the Fermilab Linac. By intentionally creating "high" background pressure with different gases in the 750 keV transport line we observed coherent transverse beam oscillations.…
As compared to electron storage rings, one advantage of recirculating linear accelerators is that the beam properties at target are no longer dominated by the equilibrium between quantum radiative diffusion and radiation damping because new…
The Fermilab Linac is a roughly 145 meter linear accelerator that accelerates H- beam from 750 keV to 400 MeV and provides beam for the Booster and the rest of the accelerator chain. The first section of the Linac is a Drift-Tube Linac…
It is difficult for us to measure the Booster ring impedance up to the GHz range due to the instrumentation limit. Since the de-bunching process in the Linac to Booster transfer is determined by the complex impedance of the Booster ring,…
