AbstractThe AGS Booster synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory delivers resonant slow extracted beams to a fixed target beamline called the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL). Experimenters at the NSRL require uniformly distributed radiation fields over large area to simulate the cosmic ray space radiation environment. The facility generates the uniform distribution using a pair of octupole magnets in the transport line. The beamline is designed to produce a achromatic optics through the octupoles and to the target. However, the dispersion function depends on the trajectory of the beam as it is transported out of the booster and into the NSRL beamline. The dependence on this trajectory has not been previously studied. In this paper, we describe a new model we have developed to study this effect and show measurements to compare to our simulations.
