Title: Synchrotron tune adjustment by longitudinal motion of quadrupoles

Conference ·
OSTI ID:378997

Adjustment of the tune of a synchrotron is generally accomplished by globally varying the strength of the quadrupoles, either in the main quadrupole bus or in a set of dedicated trim quadrupoles distributed around the ring. An alternate scheme for tune control involves varying the strengths of quadrupoles only within a local insert, thereby adjusting the phase advance across the insert to create a ``phase trombone``. In a synchrotron built of permanent magnets, such as the proposed Fermilab Recycler Ring, tune adjustment may also be accomplished by constructing a phase trombone in which the longitudinal position rather than the strength of a number of quadruples is adjusted. Design philosophies and performance for such phase trombones are presented.
