Fermilab Booster orbit correction

The Fermilab particle physics program has recently expanded to include the MiniBooNE experiment in addition to the RunII program. As a result, the effective and reliable performance of the Fermilab Booster has become crucial to the lab. The Booster is an 8 GeV proton synchrotron and is a key element of the Fermilab accelerator chain. It must meet increasing demands for proton intensity and high repetition rates. One important requirement placed on the machine is low radiation levels. These levels are highly correlated with losses in the machine, and can limit Booster production. We will describe how a system of ramped dipole corrector magnets are being used to maintain orbital position throughout the acceleration cycle in order to minimize beam losses, maximize proton intensity, and maintain the required repetition rate.
