TI - Longitudinal Injection Schemes For the CERN PS Booster at 160 MeV Including Space Charge Effects J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - In the frame of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project, the CERN PS Booster will be equipped with a H⁻ injection system at 160 MeV to tailor the initial transverse and longitudinal profiles. We are here reviewing the different multi-turn longitudinal injection schemes, from the beam dynamics point of view, taking into account the needs of the large variety of the PSB users, spanning in intensity from 5·10⁹ to about 1.6·10¹³ protons per bunch. The baseline of the longitudinal injection has always been the longitudinal stacking with central energy modulation: this scheme has the advantage of filling uniformly the RF bucket and mitigate transverse space charge, but it requires at least 40 turns of injection. A simpler injection protocol without energy modulation is here analyzed in detail to find the optimum initial conditions in terms of bucket filling and reduction of transverse and longitudinal space charge effects, with the advantage of minimizing the number of turns for the LHC beams. Simulations with space charge of the longitudinal injection process from different Linac4 trains are presented to fix possible longitudinal injection scenarios during the future commissioning and operation with Linac4.
