  A beam-based method of optical model calibration using the measured orbit response matrix, known as the LOCO method, was successfully applied to Fermilab's rapid-cycling Booster synchrotron. Orbit responses were measured by individually changing the strength of each dipole corrector throughout the acceleration cycle, and dispersion was measured by changing the beam's radial offset. The model calibration procedure revealed large calibration errors for all elements in the Booster's recently-installed multipole corrector packages and beam position monitors. The resulting model was used to correct coupling and beta beating.
