/ Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Bernardes, Ana (CERN) ; Newborough, Antony (CERN) ; del Alamo, Daniel (CERN) ; Grenier-Boley, Edouard (CERN) ; Pozzi, Fabio (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Corso, Jean-Pierre (CERN) ; Vollaire, Joachim (CERN) ; Ferreira Somoza, Jose (CERN) et al.
Following the successful completion of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, since 2021 the Proton Synchrotron (PS) Booster has served the LHC injector chain with protons at an increased kinetic energy of 2 GeV. An upgrade of the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator On-Line DEvice) facility has long been considered to produce radioactive ion beams with a higher energy proton driver beam. [...]

Within the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, LHC injectors received major upgrades that resulted in an unprecedented beam brightness. In the framework of the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study, the full potential of the upgraded injectors is being explored for the improvement of the Fixed Target (FT) beams as well. [...]

Chapter 21: Beam from Injectors: The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project
/ Meddahi, M (CERN) ; Rumolo, G (CERN) ; Alemany, R (CERN) ; Bartosik, H (CERN) ; Bellodi, G (CERN) ; Coupard, J (CERN) ; Damerau, H (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, G P (CERN) ; Funken, A (CERN) ; Garoby, R et al.
The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project aims at increasing the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors in order to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring high availability and reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era. Fulfilling this goal requires extensive hardware modifications and new beam dynamics solutions across the entire LHC proton and ion injection chains: the new Linac4, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), together with Linac3 and the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) as ion PS injectors.

Shaping High Brightness and Fixed Target Beams with the CERN PSB Charge Exchange Injection
/ Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Albright, Simon (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Roncarolo, Federico (CERN)
CERN adopted the charge exchange injection technique for the first time in the PS Booster after Long Shutdown 2. This allowed to overcome space charge limitations, tailor high brightness beams for the LHC and deliver high intensity flux of protons to the fixed target experiments. [...]

Tailoring transverse beam characteristics with the new CERN PS Booster charge-exchange injection system
/ Renner, E (TU Vienna) ; Albright, S (CERN) ; Antoniou, F (CERN) ; Asvesta, F (CERN) ; Bartosik, H (CERN) ; Bracco, C (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, G P (CERN) ; Mikulec, B (CERN) ; Prebibaj, T (CERN) ; Skowronski, P (CERN) et al.
A key aspect of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project is the connection of the PSB to the newly built Linac4 and the related installation of a new 160\,MeV charge-exchange injection system. The new injection system was commissioned in winter 2020/21 and is now used operationally to tailor the transverse characteristics for the various beam types at CERN, such as high-intensity fixed target beams, LHC single bunch beams, and high-brightness beams for LHC.
