Some issues on the RF system in the 3 GeV Fermilab pre-booster

K.Y. Ng

Abstract

Some issues are presented on the rf system in the future Fermilab pre-booster, which accelerates 4 bunches each containing 0.25×1014 protons from 1 to 3 GeV kinetic energy. The problem of beam loading is discussed. The proposal of having a non-tunable fixed-frequency rf system is investigated. Robinson’s criteria for phase stability are checked and possible Robinson instability growth is computed.
