The proton driver for the muon collider must produce short pulses of protons in order to facilitate muon cooling and operation with polarized beams. In order to test methods of producing these bunches we have operated the AGS near transition and studied procedures which involved moving the transition energy {gamma}{sub 1}, to the beam energy. We were able to produce stable bunches with RMS widths of {sigma}=2.2{endash}2.7&hthinsp;ns for longitudinal bunch areas of {approximately}1.5 V-s, in addition to making measurements of the lowest two orders of the momentum compaction factor. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
