Historically, the booster has lacked a fundamental
|
|
|
understanding of beam loss mechanisms.
|
|
|
| • |
If (!!!) it is possible at all to go the the
required beam flux, it
|
|
|
will require some mitigation of beam loss.
|
|
|
| • |
Recently, there has been an great increase in the
involvement
|
|
|
of the Beam Physics department in the Booster:
|
|
|
|
– |
Space charge group (W. Chou, et al) has begun to
focus on the Booster
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
– |
Chuck Ankenbrandt has moved into Booster group as
“Beam Physics
|
|
|
Liaison” to help coordinate studies.
|
|
|
|
– |
Starting to make quantitative comparisons between
predictions and
|
|
|
measurement.
|
|
|

An
almost immediate result of this increased effort was the
|
|
|
discovery
of the “dogleg problem”….
