Measured Beam Energy Loss
•~ 60 “Tevatron-style” ionization monitors:
–100 second running average now our primary figure of merit for Booster performance.
–Part of Booster permit system.
•Differential proton loss is measured using toroids.
– Weighted by energy to produce a “Beam Energy Lost”.
– Loss rate in Watts calculated using a 5 minute running average updated every minute. Part of Booster permit system (current limit 400 W).
