MOPCH095	Performance of Nominal and Ultimate LHC Beams in the CERN PS-booster	258
	M. Benedikt, M. Chanel, K. Hanke CERN, Geneva
	The requirements for nominal and ultimate LHC beams in the CERN PS-Booster were specified in 1993 and served as input for the definition of the "PS conversion for LHC" project. Already during the upgrade project and also after its completion in 2000, the beam intensities to be provided from the PS Booster were increased in order to compensate for changes on the LHC machine, the beam production scheme in the PS and for non-anticipated beam losses along the injector chain. In order to improve the beam brightness, to be compatible with the increased requirements, extensive machine studies have taken place on the PS-Booster. The working point was changed to reduce the influence of systematic resonances and the injection line optics was re-matched to improve the injection efficiency. The paper summarizes briefly the evolution of the performance requirements. The various measures undertaken to improve the LHC beam quality are outlined and the present performance achieved in the PS-Booster is presented.
MOPCH096	LEIR Lattice	261

	The Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) is a low energy ion cooling and accumulation ring and serves to compress long ion pulses from Linac 3 into high density bunches suitable for LHC ion operation. Issues of the LEIR lattice are to fulfil all constraints with a small number of quadrupoles and compensations of perturbations due to an electron cooler and gradients seen by the beam in the bending magnets during the ramp. Furthermore, experimental investigations via orbit reponse measurements will be reported.

	The Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) is a central piece of the injector chain for LHC ion operation, transforming long Linac 3 pulses into high density bunches needed for LHC. LEIR commissioning is scheduled to be completed at the time of the conference. A review of LEIR commissioning highlighting expected and unexpected problems and actions to tackle them will be given.

WEPCH046	Design and Validation with Measurements of the LEIR Injection Line	2020
	F. Roncarolo, C. Carli, M. Chanel, L.D. Dumas, R. Scrivens CERN, Geneva
	The CERN Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) commissioning started in the year 2005. O4+ and Pb54+ 4.2 MeV/nucleon ion beams are transferred from Linac 3 to LEIR through a low energy transfer line, for which the constraints and the resulting optics design are presented. First trajectory and dispersion measurements agreed only poorly with the theoretical model. Iterations of a refined optics model and further measurements improved the agreement between experimental observations and expectations. In particular, the effect of quadrupolar errors in the line dipole magnets is discussed.
