  In order to meet the needs of Fermilabs planned post-collider experimental
program, the total proton throughput of the 8 GeV Booster accelerator must be
nearly doubled within the next two years. A system of 48 ramped corrector
magnets has recently been installed in the Booster to help improve efficiency
and allow for higher beam intensity without exceeding safe radiation levels. We
present the preliminary results of beta function measurements made using these
corrector magnets. Our goal is to use the correctors to reduce irregularities
in the beta function, and ultimately to introduce localized beta bumps to
reduce beam loss or direct losses towards collimators.
