Abstract :
A family of standard FORTRAN programs that calculate bucket-related quantities as a function of time during acceleration, assuming it is adiabatic, is described. The members of the family are distinguished by the type of input: one family member takes energy and total peak voltage as a function of time, another takes momentum and bucket area as a function of time, etc. The input is in free-format tabular form. The output is in standard ASCII form, in multicolumn tables and x-y listings appropriate for plotting. Bunch-related quantities such as energy spread and space-charge tune spread are also calculated assuming that the bunches have a specified longitudinal emittance, and are small and matched to the bucket. Sample excitation curves for the Superconducting Super Collider´s low energy booster are presented.<>
