Nonlinear dynamics in the booster of the Moscow Kaon Factory

To be sure that the lattice allows for chromaticity correction, the authors have studied the nonlinear actions on particle motion provided by sextupoles for the perfect machine, i.e. without misalignments and multipolar imperfections in the magnets. Following the principles described the authors used the program DIMAD for tracking particles. The phase-space coordinates of the particle, obtained for each turn in points of the arc IP1 and IP2, are used to calculate all kinds of smear. Based on experimental results, the proposed lattice for the MKF Booster has allowed for a chromaticity correction.<>
