Transverse Beam Motion in the Fermilab Booster Accelerator

Measurements are presented of the transverse properties of the booster synchrotron. The principal transverse limitations to operational performance have been due to restricted aperture and improper multiturn injection. In addition to these features, working point, chromaticities, high-intensity effects, and injection matching are discussed.
