Abstract :
The intensity of the Fermilab booster accelerator has been limited in part by longitudinal effects. These include longitudinal space charge blowup prior to RF capture, phase space dilution during capture and insufficient voltage to provide bucket area to accelerate the diluted beam. Measurements of beam properties under these conditions, as well as high intensity effects during acceleration, are presented.
