	A key component to meeting the brightness targets of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project at CERN is the new 160 MeV H⁻ charge exchange injection system into the Proton Synchrotron Booster. This system has been in beam commissioning since December 2020, optimizing the beam production schemes for tailoring different beams to the respective user-defined brightness targets. In this paper, selected measurements from the beam commissioning period are presented, characterizing the system’s flexibility to produce the required wide range of transverse emittances. The discussion focuses on the essential optimization of the injection set-up to minimize space charge driven emittance blow-up and injection errors. The results are completed by selected comparisons with multi-particle simulation models of the injection process.

	As part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, significant improvements were made to the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) during the 2019/2020 long shutdown, including a new Finemet-based wideband RF system, renovated longitudinal beam control, and a new magnetic cycle. To meet the requirements of the diverse experimental program, the PSB provides beams with intensities spanning three orders of magnitude and a large range of longitudinal emittances. To maximize the brightness, in particular for the LHC beams, the voltages at low energy are designed to reduce the impact of transverse space charge using a second RF harmonic in bunch lengthening mode. At high energies, the risk of longitudinal microwave instability is avoided by optimizing the longitudinal distribution to raise the instability threshold. RF phase noise is applied to provide controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up and to shape the longitudinal distribution. This paper discusses the design of the RF functions used to meet the beam specifications, whilst ensuring longitudinal stability.

As part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, significant improvements were made to the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) during the 2019/2020 long shutdown, including a new Finemet-based wideband RF system, renovated longitudinal beam control, and a new magnetic cycle. To meet the requirements of the diverse experimental program, the PSB provides beams with intensities spanning three orders of magnitude and a large range of longitudinal emittances. To maximize the brightness, in particular for the LHC beams, the voltages at low energy are designed to reduce the impact of transverse space charge using a second RF harmonic in bunch lengthening mode. At high energies, the risk of longitudinal microwave instability is avoided by optimizing the longitudinal distribution to raise the instability threshold. RF phase noise is applied to provide controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up and to shape the longitudinal distribution. This paper discusses the design of the RF functions used to meet the beam specifications, whilst ensuring longitudinal stability.
