Title: Coupling impedance of laminated magnets in the booster

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5334017· OSTI ID:5334017

The magnets in the Fermilab Booster Synchrotron are laminated in order to minimize the eddy current losses and associated field distortions expected at a 15 Hz operating frequency. To further reduce the eddy current losses, the vacuum chamber is outside the magnet, hence allowing the beam induced wall currents to see the laminations directly. This note estimates the coupling impedances and beam energy loss per turn caused by the exposed laminations.
