Instrumentation and control of the AGS Booster vacuum system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5773271
The AGS Booster is a synchrotron for the acceleration of both protons and heavy ions. A pressure of low 10{sup {minus}11} Torr is required for the acceleration of the partially stripped, low {Beta}, very heavy ions. This paper describes the power supplies and controls for this ultra-high vacuum system with the emphasis on the operation of the ion gauge system over long cable length and on equipment interlock 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
