The LHC injectors Upgrade (LIU) program has been fully implemented during the second long shutdown (LS2), which took place in 2019-20. In this context, new or upgraded beam instrumentation was developed to cope with H− beam in LINAC4 and the new Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) injection systems which would provide high brightness proton beams in the rest of the injector complex. After a short overview of the newly installed diagnostics, the main focus of this paper will move to the instruments already commissioned with the beam. This will include LINAC4 diagnostics, the PSB H0/H− monitor, the PSB Trajectory Measurement System, and the PS beam gas ionization monitor. In addition, particular emphasis will be given to the first operational experience with the new generation of fast wire scanners installed in all injector synchronous.

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.

To avoid any damage to the beam dump target in the Future Circular Collider, the beam will be swept over its surface using oscillating kickers in the x/y planes with a 90-degree phase difference, and an amplitude changing in time, creating a spiral pattern. The ideal pattern must have an increasing spiral pitch towards smaller radii to produce an even energy deposition density. We recommend the realization of the optimal pattern using two beating frequencies. This method enables a flat energy deposition density while only using simple independent damped oscillators. In this poster, we also present the study of the beamline optics and hardware that can realize the needed pattern. Two different possible hardware layouts were examined and optimized as well.

Optics measurement from analysis of turn-by-turn BPM data of betatron oscillations excited with a kicker magnet has been employed very successfully in many machines but faces particular challenges in the CERN PSB where BPM to BPM phase advances are sub-optimal for optics reconstruction. Experience using turn-by-turn oscillation data for linear optics measurements during PSB commissioning in2021 is presented, with implications for the prospect of such techniques in the PSB more generally.

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.
