Measurement of Tevatron extraction parameters and comparison of model to measurements

An accurate model of the half integer resonance extraction process in the Tevatron requires a knowledge of the extraction parameters such as the strengths of the 39th harmonic quadrupole and 0th harmonic octupole. This paper describes a series of experiments that determine the extraction parameters. Results of target wire scans, which measure the profile of the extracted beam, are then compared to the Tevatron model.
