  • Abstract
    Tracking studies of transition crossing in the main injector have shown that the Johnsen effect is the dominant cause of beam loss and emittance blow up. To suppress this effect one must have control over alpha /sub 1/ (dispersion of the momentum compaction factor alpha ). Various gamma /sub t/ jump configurations are examined and the resulting changes in alpha /sub 1/-formulas are derived for a model FODO lattice with full chromaticity compensation in the presence of an eddy current sextupole component.<>
