Abstract

The Fermilab Linac Upgrade has increased the energy of the H{sup {minus}} linac from 201 to 401.5 MeV. This is achieved by replacing the last four 201.24 MHz drift-tube linac cavities with seven 804.96 MHz side-coupled cavity modules. Each accelerator module is powered with a 12 MW klystron-based power supply. The purpose of this report is to present a body of representative methods and data used to characterize longitudinal properties of the beam after each accelerating tank and module. These various methods proved useful in the commissioning of the Fermilab Linac Upgrade.
