Description
The integrable optics test accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab was designed to operate a nonlinear magnet satisfying the Danilov-Nagaitsev integrable potential. At large excitations of this nonlinear magnet the small amplitude vertical tune crosses the integer resonance. At this point the beam splits vertically into two separate beamlets whose separation distance depends on the nonlinear strength. This phenomenon is difficult to study with traditional beam position monitors, so studies of this regime relied on the IOTA synchrotron light imaging system. The 2-D transverse profile of the beam was measured for large excitations of the nonlinear magnet. Using these profiles and accurate knowledge of the rest of the accelerator lattice, the potential could be reconstructed from these profiles and compared to the analytical expectations.
