Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 1, 030101 (1998) [7 pages]Bunching near transition in the BNL AGS
The proton driver for the muon collider must produce short pulses of protons in order to facilitate muon cooling and operation with polarized beams. In order to test methods of producing these bunches, we have operated the alternating-gradient synchrotron near transition and studied procedures which involved moving the transition energy γt to the beam energy. We were able to produce stable bunches of 3–5×1012 protons with rms widths of σ=2.0–2.7ns for longitudinal bunch areas of 1.5eVs, in addition to making measurements of the lowest two orders of the momentum compaction factor.
