| Abstract | To inject highest beam intensities at the transfer from Linac4 into the four rings of the PS Booster (PSB) at CERN, protons must be accumulated during up to 148 turns in total. With the conventional, fixed chopping pattern this process results in an approximately rectangular distribution in the longitudinal phase space. As the bucket shape in the PSB does not correspond to this distribution, the process leads to longitudinal mismatch, contributing to emittance growth and reduced transmission. The field in the last accelerating cavity of Linac4 can be modulated, which leads to fine corrections of the extracted beam energy. At the same time, the chopping pattern can be varied. Combining both allows injecting a near uniform longitudinal distribution whose boundary corresponds to an iso-Hamiltonian contour of the RF bucket, hence significantly reducing mismatch. In an operational context, the longitudinal painting must be controlled in a way that allows easy intensity variation, and can even require different painting configurations for each of the four PSB rings. This contribution presents the first demonstration of longitudinal painting in the PSB, and its impact on beam performance. |
