The injection energy of the PSB will be increased to 160MeV in order to mitigate direct space charge effects, considered to be the main performance limitation, thus allowing to double the brightness for the LHC beams. In order to better predict the gain to be expected, space charge simulations are being carried out. Efforts to establish a realistic modeling of field and alignment errors aim at extending the basic model of the machine towards a more realistic one. Simulations of beam dynamics with strong direct space charge and realistic errors are presented and analysed in this paper.
