  • Abstract
    Beam instabilities resulting from localized pressure bumps in the Fermilab main ring have become more significant as the beam intensity has increased. The instability threshold depends on pressure, beam intensity, and machine tune. Experiments are described which explore this threshold using both time dependent and time independent pressure bumps. The effects of gas variations, bump length and time duration are reported.
