Prior to the Long Shutdown of 2013-2014 (LS1), control of the closed orbit in the four rings of the CERN PS Booster (PSB) was achieved by adjusting the alignment of several focusing quadrupoles. After a set of orbit corrector dipoles was installed, a major realignment campaign was undertaken to remove these intentional quadrupole offsets and any other magnet misalignments. This paper summarizes the effects of the magnet realignment on the closed orbit in the PSB and the results of closed orbit correction with corrector dipoles.

The optics of the original Booster lacked the ability for full optics correction and it was not until 2009 when new optics corrector packages were installed between gradient magnets that this ability became available. The optics correction method that is chosen is called LOCO (Linear Optics from Closed Orbits) that measures the orbit response from every beam position monitor (BPM) in the ring from every kick of every dipole corrector. The large data set collected allows LOCO to not only calculate the quadrupole and skew quadrupole currents that both reduces beta beatings and corrects coupling, it also finds the dipole kicker strengths, BPM calibrations and their tilts by minimizing the difference between the measured and ideal orbit response of the beam. The corrected optics have been loaded into Booster and it is currently being tested to be eventually used in normal operations.
