TI - A New Beam Injection Scheme for the Fermilab Booster J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - Here we present an improved beam injection scheme for the Fermilab Booster. The beam is injected on the deceleration part of the standard sinusoidal magnetic ramp and beam capture takes place almost immediately after the injection process, before the beam is fully de-bunched. During the entire capture process we impose in a changing field with changing from negative to zero to positive values. Our simulations clearly showed that this method of beam capture is more efficient to preserve longitudinal beam emittance at the early part of the acceleration cycle and helps to keep the required rf voltage to an optimal value of 15% lower than the current operational values. As a result of the reduced emittance growth at the early part of the Booster cycle we observe reduced required rf power on a typical Booster cycle by ~30%, which is quite important from the point of rf power requirements during the Booster operation. Further, we investigate snap bunch rotation at extraction to provide beam with lower to the MI/RR to improve the proton beam slip-stacking efficiency.
