Minimizing Emittance Growth During H-injection in the AGS Booster

摘要

As part of the efforts to increase polarization and luminosity in RHIC during polarized proton operations we have modified the injection optics and stripping foil geometry in the AGS Booster in order to reduce the emittance growth during H- injection. In this paper we describe the modifications, the injection process. and present results from beam experiments.
