Title :
Longitudinal impedance and stability thresholds of the AGS Booster

Abstract :
The various sources of longitudinal impedance in the AGS Booster are identified and the effects of the total impedance are estimated. In particular, the parasitic effects of the RF cavities during proton acceleration are explored. Dynamics are treated using a first order Vlasov analysis in the weak synchrotron coupling approximation
