Multi-turn Ion Injection
Circulating Beam
Beam at injection
400 MeV H- beam from LINAC
DC “Septum”
Stripping foil
4 pulsed “ORBUMP” magnets
• At injection, the 40 mA Linac H- beam is injected into the Booster over several “turns” (1 turn ~5E11).
• The orbit is “bumped” out, so that both the injected beam and the circulating beam pass through a stripping foil, after which they circulate together.
• At the moment, heating in the ORBUMP magnets limit our average rep rate (including prepulses to ~7.5 Hz).
