Linac4 Commissioning Status and Challenges to Nominal Operation

Linac4 will be connected to the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) during the next long LHC shutdown in 2019 and it will operationally replace Linac2 as provider of protons to the CERN complex as of 2021. Commissioning to the final beam energy of 160 MeV was achieved by the end of 2016. Linac4 is presently under-going a reliability and beam quality test run to meet the beam specifications and relative tolerances requested by the PSB. In this paper we will detail the main challenges left before achieving nominal operation and we will re-port on the commissioning steps still needed for final validation of machine readiness before start of operation.

In the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade programme (LIU), several activities have been carried out to improve the GTS-LHC ion source and Linac3 performance (Linac3 providing the charged heavy ion beams for CERN exper-iments). A restudy of the beam dynamics and transport through the linac was initiated, through a campaign of systematic machine measurements and parallel beam simulations, generalising techniques developed for beam characterization during Linac4 commissioning. The work here presented will review the most relevant findings and lessons learnt in the process.
