Abstract
This paper describes experiments with the main parameters of the RF accelerating systems of the Booster and the Nuclotron of the Nuclotron based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) complex, which affect the capture and acceleration, as well as the additional hardware solutions used in this case. The operating modes of accelerating stations of the Booster and the Nuclotron are considered. In particular, the paper describes the principle of formation of the law of the change in the amplitude of the accelerating voltage during the adiabatic capture of particles both in the Booster and in the Nuclotron, as well as the features of setting the sequence of synchronization pulses.
