Abstract

The results of the numerical and experimental investigations of the beam RF capture in the booster – fast-cycling proton synchrotron are presented in this report. The existing features of the magnetic field cycle of the accelerator are taken into account in the simulation. The time dependence of the RF voltage as well as the moment of the beam injection (during the field cycle) have been optimized to get the maximum efficiency of the capture. The experimental results giving nearly 100% beam cap¬ture in the Booster are presented.
