Summary

Transverse instabilities are controlled by an active beam damper which corrects the orbit of individual proton bunches in the Fermilab booster synchrotron. The corrective signals, which are in reality processed versions of the beam pick-up data, are applied to the beam via power amplifier/deflector electrodes approximately one turn after sensing the bunch position. The electronic systems of the damper are configured as a closed-loop feedback arrangement. A brief outline is given of the overall damper system configuration, and the beam position detector, coaxial cable delay system, and data receiver are described.
