Abstract
The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) Booster is a synchrotron for the acceleration of both protons and heavy ions. A pressure of low 10/sup -11/ torr is required for the acceleration of the partially stripped, low beta , very heavy ions. The authors describe the power supplies and controls for this ultra-high vacuum system, with the emphasis on the operation of the ion gauge system over long cable length and on equipment interlock.<>
