Abstract :
It was observed that a bunch-length shrunk with acceleration in the Induction Synchrotron (IS) experiment, where a single proton-bunch injected from the 500 MeV Booster was accelerated to 6 GeV in the KEK-PS. A novel technique capable of quantitatively predicting the adiabatic phenomenon of bunch shortening has been developed, based on a hypothesis that the particle oscillation amplitude varies inversely proportional to the square root of its oscillation frequency. The experimental result and analytical prediction is in good agreement with each other.
