Abstract

The vertical and radial betatron oscillation frequencies have been measured on the UCLA 50-MeV spiral-ridge cyclotron. The technique used was that of rf knockout, in which the internal beam was passed through a pair of exciter plates which provided an rf electric field. When the frequency was equal to the betatron frequency a detectable increase in betatron oscillation amplitude or ``knockout'' occurred. The knockout as a function of exciter frequency shows a number of resonances rather than a single one. This provides a measurement of radial as well as vertical betatron frequency. Comparisons of the measured frequencies with those calculated from magnetic field measurements are given and show satisfactory agreement.
