The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project was put in place between 2010 and 2021 to increase the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era (ca. 2040).

To provide HL-LHC performance, the CERN LHC injector chain underwent a major upgrade during an almost 2-year-long shutdown. In the first half of 2021 the injectors were gradually re-started with the aim to reach at least pre-shutdown parameters for LHC as well as for fixed target beams. [...]

Momentum slip-stacking in CERN SPS for the ion beams
/ Argyropoulos, Theodoros (CERN) ; Bohl, Thomas (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Papotti, Giulia (CERN) ; Quartullo, Danilo (CERN) ; Shaposhnikova, Elena (CERN)
The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project at CERN aims at doubling the total intensity of the lead ion beam for the High-Luminosity (HL) LHC. Achieving this goal requires using momentum slip-stacking in the SPS, the LHC injector. [...]

Removing Known SPS Intensity Limitations for High Luminosity LHC Goals

In preparation of the SPS as an LHC injector its impedance was significantly reduced in 1999 - 2000. A new SPS impedance reduction campaign is planned now for the High Luminosity (HL)-LHC project, which requires bunch intensities twice as high as the nominal one. [...]

Overview of beam intensity issues and mitigations in the CERN-SPS fast wire scanners

A new design of fast wire scanner was installed in the CERN injector complex as part of the upgrades linked to the High-Luminosity LHC Project. Initial operations with these beams were good, but during the planned intensity ramp-up one early 2023, all four SPS scanners failed at the same time. [...]

Benchmarking the Beam Longitudinal Dynamics Code BLonD
/ Timko, Helga (CERN) ; Esteban Müller, Juan (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Quartullo, Danilo (CERN)
The relatively recent Beam Longitudinal Dynamics code BLonD has already been applied to a wide range of studies for all present CERN synchrotrons. Its application area ranges from studies of RF manipulations, over single and multi-bunch interactions with impedance, to the action of feedback loops and RF noise. [...]

Aiming at doubling the beam intensity and reducing the beam emittance [1], significant modifications of the LHC injector chain will take place during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), starting from 2019. The LIU project (LHC Injector Upgrade) [2], in the specific, touches Linac4, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). [...]

Beam Coupling Impedance of the Main Extraction Kickers in the CERN PS
/ Neroni, Michela (CERN ; U. Rome La Sapienza (main)) ; Barnes, Michael (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Mostacci, Andrea (U. Rome La Sapienza (main)) ; Popovic, Branko (Argonne) ; Vollinger, Christine (CERN)
In view of the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the LHC, the beam intensity must be doubled in the injector chain. To perform reliable beam dynamics simulations, the beam coupling impedance in the injectors, such as the Proton Synchrotron (PS), must be followed closely by including all contributing elements into the impedance model.
