Increasing the energy of the Fermilab booster
Description
The Fermilab booster accelerator was originally conceived for acceleration of protons with an injection energy of 200 MeV to an extraction energy of ten GeV (to the 500 GeV main accelerator). Early booster operation has been limited to eight GeV. The booster beam will be more acceptable to the main accelerator if extraction is at ten GeV, thus the booster magnet system is now being modified for ten GeV acceleration. Regulation of the booster magnetic field for injection at 200 MeV was a task even when operating to eight GeV. An outline is given of the approach which was adopted and how it relates to the ten GeV attempt. Problems encountered in the design of any ac magnet system are discussed
