  The CERN PS Booster (PSB) has four vertically stacked rings. After extraction from each ring, the bunches are recombined in two stages, comprising septum and kicker systems, such that the accumulated bunch train is injected through a single line into the PS. Bunches from the four rings go through a different number of vertical bends, which leads to differences in the betatron and dispersion functions due to edge focussing. The fast pulsed systems at PSB extraction, recombination and PS injection lead to systematic errors of delivery precision at the injection point. These error sources are quantified in terms of emittance growth and particle loss. Mitigations to reduce the overall emittance growth at the PSB to PS transfer within the LHC injectors upgrade are presented.

  The ELENA (Extra Low ENergy Antiproton) ring at CERN will further decelerate antiprotons produced at the AD (Antiproton Decelerator) facility from a kinetic energy of 5.3 MeV to 100 keV. The antiprotons will be distributed through a network of electrostatic transfer lines to several experiments, which will replace the existing magnetic transfer lines. The existing experiments and limited space in the AD hall forces the new transfer lines into close proximity to the high-field solenoids used by some experiments to trap the antiprotons. The stray fields from the experimental magnets are known to perturb beam delivery and are a concern for operation at the decreased beam rigidity provided by ELENA. A study was carried out to investigate the influence of stray magnetic fields on the beam, including different ramping periods and operational scenarios. The analytical model of the fields used for simulation will be discussed. Furthermore, trajectory correction algorithms using MADX optic model of the lines have been investigated. The results of these studies as well as specifications of acceptable stray field limits and field attenuation requirements will be presented.
