The nonlinear beam dynamics of transverse betatron oscillators were studied experimentally at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility Cooler Ring. Particles were kicked onto resonance islands and the properties of these islands were studied. The island tune was determined with high precision by Fourier analyzing the spectrum containing the island oscillations. The island width was estimated based on a single-resonance model. The Hamiltonian of particle motion near a resonance condition was thus deduced.
