  During the Long Shutdown 1 seven out of the one hundred combined function PS main magnets were removed from the tunnel to conduct maintenance. After reinstallation, the main magnets were aligned to the reference positions and within the first week of operation of the accelerator, a beam-based re-alignment campaign was performed to reduce the excursions of the closed orbit. In order to further investigate and understand the source of betatronic resonances, which, already in 2011, were found to be excited by the bare machine, tune diagram measurements before and after this beam-based magnet alignment were conducted. In both cases the same resonances as in 2011 were found to be present; however, after the alignment, an overall increase of their strengths was observed. In this paper we present the corresponding measurement results and discuss the direct impact on the daily operation of the accelerator.

  The current knowledge of the transverse impedance of the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been established with beam-based measurements at different energies. The transverse coherent tune shift as a function of the beam intensity has been measured in order to evaluate the total effective imaginary part of the transverse impedance and its localization in the accelerator at the energies of 2, 7, 13 and 25 GeV. Measurements have been performed changing the chromaticity for every tune shift scan with intensity. The data analysis revealed an increase of impedance with chromaticity for all the energies considered. That transverse impedance can be compared with the previously evaluated theoretical impedance budget taking into account the individual contribution of several machine devices. The missing impedance is finally highlighted.
