Abstract: | A method is developed for calculating those basic phenomena in a weak-focusing proton synchrotron which depend on the choice of the parameters of the accelerator. Free oscillations, variations of the orbit, resonances of free and phase oscillations, and injection theory, are considered. The theory is applied to the 10-Bev proton synchrotron of the Academy of Sciences, USSR.At present the proton synchrotron belongs to the Joint Institute for Nuclear Study (Ed.).In conclusion, I consider it my pleasant duty to epress my gratitude to V. I. Veksler, A.A. Kolomenskii and V. A. Petukhov for discussssion of the problems considered. |
