Abstract :
Longitudinal matching of bunches between the Low Energy Booster (LEB) and the Medium Energy Booster (MEB), if done by controlling the RF voltage alone, requires too low a voltage to be practicable. An investigation is made of the possibility of dynamic matching by bunch rotation in the longitudinal phase space at the end of the LEB cycle. First, bunches are sheared by an RF phase-jump into the unstable region and then the bunch is matched by jumping back to the synchronous phase. Sensitivity to errors in phase and timing are studied.<>
