Deployment and Commissioning of the CERN PS Injection Kicker System for Operation with 2 GeV Beams in Short Circuit Mode
/ Kramer, Thomas (CERN) ; Ayala Cintas, Nuria (CERN) ; Borburgh, Jan (CERN) ; Burkel, Peter (CERN) ; Carlier, Etienne (CERN) ; Ducimetière, Laurent (CERN) ; Feliciano, Luís M C (CERN) ; Ferrero Colomo, Álvaro (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew A (CERN) ; Govertsen, Leif A (CERN) et al.
Within the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, the feasibility and design of an upgrade of the existing CERN PS proton injection kicker system have been outlined in previous publications already. This paper describes the adjustments of final design choices, testing, and deployment as well as the validation and commissioning of the new 2 GeV injection kicker system. [...]

Measurements with the stripping foil test stand in the Linac4 Transfer Line
/ Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Jorat, Louise (CERN) ; Noulibos, Remy (CERN) ; van Trappen, Pieter (CERN) ; Weterings, Wim (CERN)
In 2020, after the CERN accelerators complex Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), a novel Linac4 (L4)-to-PS Booster (PSB) charge-exchange injection system will allow to transform the L4 160 MeV H$^-$ beam into H$^+$, which will be injected into the four PSB superposed rings. For this, a 200 µg/cm$^2$ carbon stripping foil will convert negative hydrogen ions (H$^-$) into protons by stripping off the electrons. [...]

The new injection region of the CERN PS Booster
/ Weterings, Wim (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Jorat, Louise Olivia (CERN) ; Meddahi, Malika (CERN) ; Noulibos, Remy (CERN) ; Van Trappen, Pieter (CERN)
During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) at CERN, the new Linac4 (L4) accelerator will be connected to the PS Booster (PSB) to inject 160 MeV H$^−$ beam into the 4 superposed PSB rings. In order to achieve this, we have designed, built and pre-assembled a completely new H$^−$ charge-exchange injection chicane system, with a carbon stripping foil unit to convert the negative hydrogen ions into protons by stripping off the electrons.

During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) at CERN, the new Linac4 (L4) accelerator will be connected to the PS Booster (PSB) to inject 160 MeV H− beam into the 4 superposed PSB rings. In order to achieve this, we have designed, built and pre-assembled a completely new H− charge-exchange injection chicane system, with a carbon stripping foil unit to convert the negative hydrogen ions into protons by stripping off the electrons. In parallel, we have built and installed a test stand in the L4 transfer line enabling us to gain valuable experience with operation of the stripping foil system and to evaluate different foil types during the L4 reliability runs. This paper describes the final design of the new PSB injection region and reports on the important test results obtained with the stripping foil test stand.

First experience with carbon stripping foils for the 160 MeV H− injection into the CERN PSB
/ Weterings, Wim (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Jorat, Louise (CERN) ; Noulibos, Remy (CERN) ; van Trappen, Pieter (CERN)
160 MeV H$^−$ beam will be delivered from the new CERN linear accelerator (Linac4) to the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), using a H$^−$ charge-exchange injection system. A $200 \mu \rm{g/cm}^2$ carbon stripping foil will convert H$^−$ into protons by stripping off the electrons. [...]

Commissioning of the Stripping Foil Units for the Upgrade of the PSB H⁻ Injection System

The PSB will be extensively upgraded during the next long shutdown of the CERN accelerator complex, to double the brightness of the stored beams. The existing multi-turn injection will be replaced by a charge exchange system designed for the 160 MeV hydrogen ions provided by Linac4. [...]

Commissioning and Results of the Half-Sector Test Installation with 160 MeV H⁻ beam from Linac4
/ Mikulec, Bettina (CERN) ; Aguglia, Davide (CERN) ; Allica Santamaria, Juan (CERN) ; Baud, Cedric (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Burger, Stephane (CERN) ; Guidoboni, Greta (CERN) ; Jorat, Louise Olivia (CERN) ; Martin, Christophe (CERN) ; Navarro Fernandez, Araceli (CERN) et al.
During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) at CERN in 2019/20, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) will undergo a profound upgrade in the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project involving also the connection to the new Linac4 injector. The 160 MeV Linac4 H' injection entails a complete replacement of the PSB injection section, including a stripping foil system, injection chicane, an H⁰/H' dump and novel beam instrumentation. [...]

A New Hardware Design for PSB Kicker Magnets (KSW) for the 35 mm Transverse Painting in the Horizontal Plane
/ Feliciano, Luis (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Ducimetière, Laurent (CERN) ; Fowler, Tony (CERN) ; Gräwer, Gregor (CERN) ; Noulibos, Remy (CERN) ; Sermeus, Luc (CERN) ; Weterings, Wim (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN)
The changeover from Linac2 to Linac4 in CERN’s injector chain will allow increasing the injection energy into the PS Booster from 50 MeV to 160 MeV. Transverse phase space painting will be performed in the horizontal plane, by means of four stacks of four KSW kicker magnets. [...]
