  At the end of the LHC Run1 a 48-hour quench-test campaign took place to investigate the quench levels of superconducting magnets for loss durations from nanoseconds to tens of seconds. The longitudinal losses produced extended from one meter to hundreds of meters and the number of lost protons varied from 108 to 1013. The results of these and other, previously conducted quench experiments, allow the quench levels of several types of LHC magnets under various loss conditions to be assessed. The quench levels are expected to limit LHC performance in the case of steady-state losses in the interaction regions and also in the case of fast losses initiated by dust particles all around the ring. It is therefore required to accurately adjust beam loss abort thresholds in order to maximize the operation time. A detailed discussion of these quench test results and a proposal for additional tests after the LHC restart is presented.

  The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron has to fulfil the demanding intensity specifications for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era, with a doubling of the presently achieved operational beam intensity. One of the main problems to be addressed is given by impedance-driven beam instabilities. About 40 % of the total measured SPS impedance is due to the kickers, of which the extraction kickers in two of the SPS straight sections are the largest systems. A potential upgrade is explored which would strongly reduce the number of extraction kickers required in the SPS, by performing non-local extraction. In this scenario LHC Beam 1 would be kicked by the extraction kicker in SPS Long Straight Section 4 (LSS4), normally only used for Beam 2, to be extracted in LSS6. The concept and the expected performance of such a scheme are presented along with detailed simulation results.

  For a potential future CERN neutrino facility it is considered to extract a 100 GeV proton beam from the second long straight section in the SPS into the existing TT20 transfer line leading to the North Area. Two transfer line design options were developed simultaneously: early-branching from TT20 using existing, recuperated ‘experimental area’ DC dipoles and alternatively late-branching close to the target area, which requires superconducting magnets. This paper describes the feasibility of the two concepts in addition to the detailed study of the early-branching option. Optics and line geometry optimization are discussed and orbit correction is presented.

  The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) complex at CERN will be extended by an extra low energy anti-proton ring (ELENA) further decelerating the anti-protons thus improving their trapping. The kinetic energy of 100 keV at ELENA extraction facilitates the use of electrostatic transfer lines to the experiments. The mechanical implementation of the electrostatic devices are presented with focus on their alignment, bakeout compatibility, ultra-high vacuum compatibility and polarity switching. Field optimisations for an electrostatic crossing device of three beam lines are shown.

  The PS Booster extraction energy will be augmented from 1.4 to 2 GeV to reduce intensity limits due to space charge at the PS proton injection. For this upgrade the transfer line between PS Booster and PS will be modified for 2 GeV operation and pulse to pulse optics modulation for different beam types. Also the PS Booster measurement line will also be upgraded to 2 GeV and shall provide improved optics solutions for emittance measurements while reducing the loss levels recorded during operation. This paper describes the foreseen optics solutions for both transfer lines.

  The Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is a CERN project aiming at constructing a small 30 m circumference synchrotron to further decelerate antiprotons from the Antiproton Decelerator AD from 5.3 MeV to 100 keV. Controlled deceleration in a synchrotron equipped with an electron cooler to reduce emittances in all three planes will allow the existing AD experiments to increase substantially their antiproton capture efficiencies and render new experiments possible. The ELENA design is now well advanced and the project is moving to the implementation phase. Component design and construction are taking place at present for installation foreseen during the second half of 2015 and beginning of 2016 followed by ring commissioning until the end of 2016. New electrostatic transfer lines to the experiments will be installed and commissioned during the first half of 2017 followed by the first physics operation with ELENA. Basic limitations like Intra Beam Scattering limiting the emittances obtained under electron cooling and direct space charge effects will be reviewed and the status of the project will be reported.

  A test program for beam induced quenches was started in the LHC in 2011 in order to reduce as much as possible BLM-triggered beam dumps, without jeopardizing the safety of the superconducting magnets. A first measurement was performed to assess the quench level of a quadrupole located in the LHC injection region in case of fast (ns) losses. It consisted in dumping single bunches onto an injection protection collimator located right upstream of the quadrupole, varying the bunch intensity up to 3·1010 protons and ramping the quadrupole current up to 2200 A. No quench was recorded at that time. The test was repeated in 2013 with increased bunch intensity (6·1010 protons); a quench occurred when powering the magnet at 2500 A. The comparison between measurements during beam induced and quench heaters induced quenches is shown. Results of FLUKA simulations on energy deposition, calculations on quench behaviour using QP3 and the respective estimates of quench levels are also presented.

    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  A new High-Power Proton Synchrotron (HP-PS) is being studied at CERN for the second phase of the Long Baseline Neutrino facility (LAGUNA-LBNO) where a 2 MW beam power shall impinge onto a target. A 4 GeV H injection based on foil stripping and extendable to laser-assisted magnet stripping is described. The proposed laser-assisted stripping is assessed with regard to the laser power requirements. The feasibility of a fast extraction system at 75 GeV is presented.
