Injection methods in the Fermilab booster

At present there are two working injection methods; single-turn using a ferrite kicker magnet and multiturn using a pulsed set of 4 dipoles in one straight section. The operating characteristics of these methods are described. The expected implementation of H- injection will involve the incorporation of devices for all three methods in one 6-m long straight section. The H- scheme is described and the expected operating characteristics compared to the present methods
