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.

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.

The NA61 experiment, aims to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement at low SPS energies and to find signatures of the critical point of strongly interacting matter. A broad range in T-μ_B phase diagram will be covered by performing an energy (13A-158A GeV/c) and system size (p+p, Be+Be, Ar+Ca, Xe+La) scan. In a first phase, fragmented ion beams of 7Be or 11C produced as secondaries with the same momentum per nucleon when the incident primary Pb-ion beam hits a thin Be target will be used. The H2 beam line that transports the beam to the experiment acts as a double spectrometer which combined with a new thin target (degrader) where fragments loose energy proportional to the square of their charge allows the separation of the wanted A/Z fragments. Thin scintillators and TOF measurement for the low energy points are used as particle identification devices. In this paper results from the first test of the fragmented ion beam done in 2010 will be presented showing that a pure Be beam can be obtained satisfying the needs of the experiment.
