A $$\gamma_{T}$$ scheme may be required for the PIP-II era performance or ACE-MIRT era performance of the Booster. PIP-II era operations of the Fermilab proton complex will require the Fermilab Booster to increase beam intensity from 4.5e12 to 6.7e12 protons, while also increasing its ramp from 15 Hz to 20 Hz. These changes pose particular challenges for transition-crossing in the Booster, where longitudinal beam quality must be controlled in order to facilitate slip-stacking in the Recycler Ring later in the Main Injector cycle. Two novel $$\gamma_{T}$$-jump schemes are proposed, termed Double $$\gamma_{T}$$ jump and Partial $$\gamma_{T}$$-jump , which optimize the magnitude of the $$\gamma_{T}$$-jump within optics and power supply constraints.
