Abstract :
Computer tracking was used to investigate the effects of space charge on particle motion in the Fermilab Main Ring at p=8 GeV/c. The results are found to agree with the Laslett tuneshift formula. Simple model cases are also studied to speed up the tracking. The effects of synchrotron oscillations are included via tune modulation and dispersion. The results do not show any large change in beam behavior caused by space charge. There is distinct evidence for tuneshifts and consequent bounded resonance islands
