Abstract :
The working point tunes in the Tevatron at 900 GeV are nominally in an area in betatron tune space that borders the 7th and 5th order resonances. An attempt will be made in this 1992 collider run to measure whether the beam-beam interaction plays an important role in driving resonances in this region of tune space. Experimental results which identify the beam-beam driven resonances are presented. An experimental method of ensuring head-on collision in order to minimize odd-ordered resonance effects in the Tevatron is also presented
