Abstract
An overview is given of the methods and preliminary results
from dedicated beam studies on three topics conducted over five days
in July 2023. In the first study, the Fermilab Booster magnets were
held constant at magnetic fields corresponding to the injection
energy. The beam loss and emittance growth were observed under
varying intensity, tunes, and sextupole resonances. The
corresponding beam conditions were also simulated with the MADX-SC
code [1]. In the second study, measurements of
the vertical half-integer resonance and correction methods are
conducted for high-intensity beams ramping in the Booster. Finally,
syncho-betatron instabilities are observed during
transition-crossing in the Booster under strong space-charge
conditions.
