Optics measurement of the Fermilab Main Injector 8-GeV transfer line

The new Fermilab 8-GeV transfer line for the Main Injector is now commissioned. Studies had been done to measure the optical characteristics of the beamline. In order to capture the state of the beamline as completely as possible all accelerator data, i.e. Beam Position Monitor, Multiwire Profile Monitor, magnet current, and other miscellaneous information, were read and saved. A recently developed beamline analysis program was used to collect data and to do the analysis. Orbit data was used to understand the beamline quadrupole strengths and to measure the dispersion function. The profile data was used to extract beam emittances and to estimate the initial lattice parameter of the beamline
