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).
