A longitudinal beam properties, data acquisition system has been commissioned to operate in the Fermilab booster ring. This system captures real time information including beam synchronous phase, bunch length, and coupled bunch instability amplitudes as the beam is accelerated from 400MeV to 8GeV in 33ms. The system uses an off-the-shelf Tektronix oscilloscope running Labview software and a synchronous pulse generator. This paper describes the hardware configuration and the software configuration used to optimize the data processing rate.

  The present FNAL linac H injector has been operational since the 1970s and consists of two magnetron H sources and a 750keV Cockcroft-Walton Accelerator. In the upgrade, both slit-type magnetron sources will be replaced with circular aperture sources, and the Cockcroft-Walton with a 200MHz RFQ. Operational experience at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) has shown that the upgraded source and RFQ will be more reliable and require less manpower than the present system.  
 
WEP116 Bucket Shaking Stops Bunch Dancing in Tevatron 1704

  Bunches in Tevatron are known to be longitudinally unstable: their collective oscillations stay without any sign of decay. Typically, a feedback damper is used to stop these oscillations. Recently, it was theoretically predicted that the oscillations can be stabilized by means of small bucket shaking*. Detailed measurements in Tevatron have shown that this method does work. In this paper, an essential theory and specific observations of the related process are presented.
