  • Abstract
    We describe in this paper the Tevatron transverse dampers. The goal of these dampers is to keep the beam stable when we operate at lower chromaticities. The reason for operating at lower chromaticities is to improve the beam lifetime. However, the beam becomes unstable at low chromaticities and thus dampers are required. Also included in this paper are the damper commissioning notes and their real-life performance
