TUPWO047 | Preliminary Results of Linear Optics From Orbit Response in the CERN PSB | 1973 |
|
||
Funding: This research project is supported by a Marie Curie Early Initial Training Network Fellowship of the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme under contract number (PITN-GA-2011-289485-OPAC) Future operations for the CERN accelerator complex will require the PS Booster to deliver higher intensity beam without increasing emittances, and having an accurate knowledge of the machine’s lattice imperfections will be necessary. We present preliminary results of the analysis of orbit response measurements in the PS Booster to determine the linear optics and to identify field errors in each of the machine’s four rings. |

WEPEA052 | Investigations on CERN PSB Beam Dynamics with Strong Direct Space Charge Effects Using the PTC-ORBIT Code | 2621 |
|
||
The CERN PS Booster (PSB) is the first synchrotron of the LHC injector chain consisting out of four superposed rings and providing beam for many users. As part of the LIU project, the machine will be upgraded. Space charge and resonances are serious issues for the good quality of the beam at injection energy. Consequently simulations are needed to track the beam in the machine taking into account space charge effects: PTC-ORBIT has been used as tracking code. This paper presents simulations results compared with the measurements for machine performances evaluation and code-benchmarking purposes. | ||
WEPEA061 | The First LHC p-Pb run: Performance of the Heavy Ion Production Complex | 2648 |
|
||
TThe first LHC proton-ion run took place in January-February 2013; it was the first extension to the collider programme, as this mode was not included in the design report. This paper presents the performance of the heavy ion and proton production complex, and details the issues encountered, in particular the creation of the same bunch pattern in both beams. | ||
WEPEA062 | Progress in ELENA Design | 2651 |
|
||
The Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is a small ring at CERN which will be built to increase substantially the number of usable (or trappable) antiprotons delivered to experiments for studies with antihydrogen. The report shows the progress in the ELENA design. The choice of optics and ring layout inside of AD hall is given. The main limitations for beam parameters at extraction like intra beam scattering and tune shift due to space charge are discussed. The electron cooler plays key role in ELENA both for efficient deceleration as well as for preparing extracted beam with parameters defined by experiments. The other important systems like beam vacuum, beam instrumentations and others are reviewed as well. | ||
THPWO078 | Status of the Upgrade of the CERN PS Booster | 3939 |
|
||
The CERN PS Booster (PSB) is presently undergoing an ambitious consolidation and upgrade program within the frame of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. This program comprises a new injection scheme for H− ions from CERN’s new Linac4, the replacement of the main RF systems and an energy upgrade of the PSB rings from 1.4 to 2.0 GeV which includes the replacement of the main magnet power supply as well as the upgrade of the extraction equipment. This paper describes the status and plans of this work program. | ||
