Description
For many synchrotrons which cross $\gamma_t$ transition, a high intensity threshold has been identified beyond which significant beam losses are observed. These losses are due to a a high intensity mode coupling instability, which can be suppressed by adjusting the chromaticity curve to cross zero slightly after $\gamma_t$ transition. This has been shown to be effective at several accelerators, including the Fermilab Booster.
