Beam optics and dynamics, calculations and measurements at the Saclay superconducting booster

Abstract To improve the optics and dynamics calculations along the booster lines, emittances in the longitudinal and radial phase space have been measured just before injection in the booster linac. We report here the main results of these measurements which are used to set the initial conditions in our ray tracing and transport programs. A first order calculation has also been performed from which we deduce the matrix equivalent to a resonator in the radial phase space.
