"The effect of correcting quadrupole lenses on the betatron oscillation characteristics of an AG synchrotron was studied, and general formulas are given for the fractional changes of the amplitude and phase functions. Calculations performed for different setups of different numbers of lenses for the CEA synchrotron structure point out that one may correct for sizable errors in the n- value by means of 8 pairs of quadrupole lenses in two consecutive straight sections with the focusing lens between defocusing sectors and vice versa. An increase of BETA /sub max/ of about 5% is obtained for DELTA n/n approximately 0.04. It was found that the necessary corrections can probably be obtained satisfactorily with lenses of 6 in. length. "
