In the near future, a new H⁻ injector, Linac4, will replace the current proton injector of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), Linac2. The new charge-exchange injection at 160 MeV will yield higher brightness beams compared to the conventional 50 MeV multi-turn injection of Linac2. To make full use of the higher injection energy, space-charge effects will need to be understood and mitigated to optimize the intensity versus transverse emittance reach. This includes an optimization of longitudinal acceptance and distribution with a two-harmonic rf system, careful selection of the working point to accommodate the large Laslett tune-shift of approximately -0.5 and compensation of resonances within their stopbands. This paper will present calculations of the tune spread, based on measurements of longitudinal parameters and transverse emittances, for energies up to 160 MeV, different bunch densities and varying beam intensities. It should provide valuable information on the expected tune spread after the connection of Linac4 with the PSB and input for the study of resonance compensation techniques.

The future beam brilliance and intensities required by the HL-LHC (High-Luminosity LHC) project and for possible new neutrino production beams triggered a deep revision of the LHC injector performances. The analysis, progressing in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) projects, outlined major limitations mainly related to collective effects - space charge in PSB and PS, electron cloud driven and TMCI instabilities in the SPS, longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities in the PS for example - but also to the existing hardware capability to cope with beam instabilities and losses. A summary of the observations and simulation studies carried out so far, as well as the future ones, will be presented. The solution proposed to overcome the different limitations and the plans for their implementation will be also briefly reviewed.

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now in luminosity production mode and has been pushing its performance in the past months by increasing the proton beam brightness, the collision energy and the machine availability. As a consequence, collective effects have started to become more and more visible and have effectively slowed down the performance increase of the machine. Among these collective effects, the interaction of brighter LHC bunches with the longitudinal and transverse impedance of the machine has been observed to generate beam induced heating and transverse instabilities since 2010. This contribution reviews the current LHC impedance model obtained from theory, simulations and bench measurements as well as a selection of measured effects with the LHC beam.

The single bunch transverse mode coupling instability (TMCI) at injection is presently one of the main intensity limitation for LHC beams in the SPS. A new optics for the SPS with lower transition energy yields an almost 3-fold increase of the slip factor at injection energy and thus a significantly higher TMCI threshold, as demonstrated both in simulations and in experimental studies. It is observed furthermore that the low gamma transition optics yields better longitudinal stability throughout the entire acceleration cycle. In addition, simulations predict a higher threshold for the electron cloud driven single bunch instability, which might become an important limitation for high intensity LHC beams with the nominal 25 ns bunch spacing. This contribution gives a summary of the experimental and simulation studies, addressing also space charge effects and the achievable brightness with high intensity single bunch beams.
