	In the framework of the High-Luminosity LHC project, the CERN Proton Synchrotron would require a major upgrade to match the future beam parameters requested as pre-injector of the collider. The different beam dynamics issues, from space-charge limitations to longitudinal instabilities are discussed, as well as the proposed technical solutions to overcome them, covering the increase of the injection energy to RF related improvements.

	CERN’s LHC injector chain will have to deliver beams with ultimate brilliance as the LHC is heading for increased luminosity in the coming years. In order to overcome bottlenecks in the injector chain, an increase of the beam transfer energy from the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) to the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been investigated as a possible upgrade scenario. This paper gives an overview of the technical solutions and summarizes the conclusions of the feasibility study.

	The first LHC Pb ion run took place at 1.38 A TeV/c per beam in autumn 2010. After a short period of running-in, the injector chain was able to fill the collider with up to 137 bunches per ring, with an intensity of 10⁸ Pb ions/bunch, about 50% higher than the design value. This yielded a luminosity of 3E25 Hz/cm², allowing the experiments to accumulate just under 10 inverse microbarn each during the four week run. We review the performance of the individual links of the injector chain, and address the main issues limiting the LHC luminosity, in view of reaching 10²6 Hz/cm² in 2011, and substantially beyond when the LHC energy increases after the long shutdown in 2013-14.
