  Complementary to the physics research at the LHC, several fixed target facilities receive beams from the LHC injector complex. In the scope of the fixed target physics program at the Super Proton Synchrotron, high-intensity proton beams from the Proton Synchrotron are extracted using the Multi-Turn Extraction scheme, which is based on particle trapping in stable islands of the horizontal phase space. Considering the number of protons requested by future experimental fixed target facilities, such as the Search for Hidden Particles experiment, the currently operationally delivered beam intensities are insufficient. Therefore, experimental studies have been conducted to optimize the Multi-Turn Extraction technique and to exploit the possible intensity reach. The results of these studies along with the operational performance of high-intensity beams during the 2017 run are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the impact of the hardware changes pursued in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project on the high-intensity beam properties is briefly mentioned.

  At injection into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) a significant horizontal emittance blow-up of the present high brightness beams for the LHC is observed. A partial contribution to this effect is suspected to be an important mismatch between the dispersion function in the transfer line from the PS Booster (PSB) and the ring itself. This mismatch will be unacceptable in view of the beam parameters requested by the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project with high longitudinal emittance and momentum spread. To deliver the requested beam parameters the PSB-to-PS transfer line will be upgraded and the optics in the line changed to improve the matching from all the four PSB rings. A re-matching campaign from the PSB ring 3 has been carried out to evaluate the impact of the present optics mismatch as a source of emittance growth both in simulations and measurements.

  In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the injection process in the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) will be renovated after the connection with the Linac4. A new H charge exchange injection system using a stripping foil is foreseen to increase the brightness of the stored beams and to provide high flexibility in terms of emittance tailoring at 160 MeV. Realistic multi-particle simulations of the future injection processes for high brightness beams (i.e. for the LHC) and high intensity beams (i.e. for the ISOLDE experiment) are presented in this paper. The simulations are based on the present performance of Linac4 and include scattering induced by the foil, space charge effects and compensation of the lattice perturbation introduced by the bumpers of the injection chicane.

  CERN's LHC injectors are delivering high-brightness proton and ion beams for the Large Hadron Collider LHC. We review the present operation modes and beam performance, and highlight the limitations. We will then give an overview of the upgrade program that has been put in place to meet the demands of the LHC during the High-Luminosity LHC era.
