The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project has been launched at the end of 2010 to prepare the CERN accelerator complex for reliably providing beam with the challenging characteristics required by the high luminosity LHC until at least 2030. Based on the work already started on Linac4, PS Booster, PS and SPS, the LIU project coordinates studies and implementation, and interfaces with the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project which looks after the upgrade of the LHC itself, expected by the end of the present decade. The anticipated beam characteristics are described, as well as the status of the studies and the solutions envisaged for improving the injector performances.

CERN’s proton injector chain is undergoing a massive consolidation and upgrade program in order to deliver beams meeting the needs of the LHC Luminosity Upgrade. As an alternative to the upgrade of the existing Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the construction of a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) has been studied. This machine would replace the PSB and deliver beams to the LHC as well as to CERN’s rich fixed-target physics program. This paper summarizes the outcome of the feasibility study along with a tentative RCS design.

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.

In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) a new rapid cycling synchrotron as alternative to the PS Booster has been proposed. In this paper we present the lattice constraints and requirement as well as the current status of the RCS lattice design and beam dynamics studies.

Some of the upgrade scenarios of the high-luminosity LHC require large intensity per bunch from the injector chain. Single bunch beams with intensities of up to 3.5 to 4·10¹¹ p/b and nominal emittances were successfully produced in the PS Complex and delivered to the SPS in 2010. This contribution presents results of studies with this new intense beam in the SPS to probe single bunch intensity limitations with nominal gamma transition. In particular, the vertical Transverse Mode Coupling Instability (TMCI) threshold with low chromaticity was observed at 1.6·10¹¹ p/b for single nominal LHC bunches in the SPS. With increased vertical chromaticity, larger intensities could be injected, stored along the flat bottom and accelerated up to 450 GeV/c. However, significant losses and/or transverse emittance blow up were then observed. Longitudinal and transverse optimization efforts in the PSB, PS and SPS were put in place to minimize this beam degradation and succeeded to obtain single 2.3·10¹¹ p/b LHC type bunches with satisfying parameters at extraction of the SPS.

As the first step of a long-term programme aiming at an increase in the LHC luminosity, CERN is building a new 160 MeV H⁻ linear accelerator, Linac4, to replace the ageing 50 MeV Linac2 as injector to the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB). Linac4 is an 86-m long normal-conducting linac made of an H⁻ source, a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), a chopping line and a sequence of three accelerating structures: a Drift-Tube Linac (DTL), a Cell-Coupled DTL (CCDTL) and a Pi-Mode Structure (PIMS). The civil engineering has been recently completed, and construction of the main accelerator components has started with the support of a network of international collaborations. The low-energy section up to 3 MeV including a 3-m long 352 MHz RFQ entirely built at CERN is in the final construction phase and is being installed on a dedicated test stand. The present schedule foresees beam commissioning of the accelerator in the new tunnel in 2013/14; the moment of connection of the new linac to the CERN accelerator chain will depend on the LHC schedule for long shut-downs.
