/ Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Albright, Simon (CERN) ; Antoniou, Fanouria (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Mikulec, Bettina (CERN) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Renner, Elisabeth (CERN ; TU Vienna)
Resonance studies have been conducted during the recommissioning of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) following the implementation of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. In particular, resonance identification through so-called loss maps has been applied on all four rings of the PSB, revealing various resonances up to fourth order. [...]

In the context of the LHC Injectors Upgrade Project (LIU), the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) developed an H$^{-}$ charge exchange injection system. The four short rectangular dipoles of the injection chicane induce focusing errors through edge focusing and eddy currents. [...]

Experimental Investigations on the High-Intensity Effects Near the Half-Integer Resonance in the PSB
/ Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN) ; Antoniou, Fanouria (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Franchetti, Giuliano (Darmstadt, GSI)
Space charge effects are the main limitation for the brightness performance of the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) at CERN. Following the upgrades of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the PSB delivered unprecedented brightness even exceeding the projected target parameters. [...]

The PS Booster Alignment Campaign and a New Tune Control Implementation After the LHC Injectors Upgrade at CERN
/ Antoniou, Fanouria (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Comblin, Jean-Francois (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Hostettler, Michael (CERN) ; Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Mikulec, Bettina (CERN) ; Nonglaton, Jean-Michel (CERN) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main))
The CERN PS Booster (PSB) has gone through major upgrades during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) and the recommissioning with beam started in December 2020. Two of the aspects leading to improved operation will be described in this paper: a new tune control implementation; and a
full re-alignment campaign. [...]

Studies on the Vertical Half-Integer Resonance in the CERN PS Booster
/ Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN) ; Antoniou, Fanouria (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Franchetti, Giuliano (Darmstadt, GSI)
Following the upgrades of the LHC Injectors Upgrade Project (LIU), the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) at CERN successfully delivers beams with double brightness. An important contributing factor for this was the dynamic correction of the beta-beating induced by the injection chicane, which allowed stable operation closer to the half-integer resonance. [...]

Optimised Transverse Painting Schemes for the New 160 MeV H$^-$ Injection System at CERN
/ Renner, Elisabeth (CERN ; TU Vienna) ; Albright, Simon (CERN) ; Antoniou, Fanouria (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Mikulec, Bettina (CERN) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN)
A major aspect of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project at CERN is the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) connection to the newly built Linac4 and the related installation of a new 160 MeV H$^-$ charge exchange injection. This contribution presents the first operational experience with the new injection system and its flexibility of applying horizontal phase space painting to tailor different beams to the respective user-defined brightness targets.

Analytical and Numerical Studies on Kicked Beams in the Context of Half-Integer Studies
/ Franchetti, Giuliano (Darmstadt, GSI ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main) ; Helmholtz Res. Acad. Hesse for FAIR) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN)
In the context of the half-integer studies an investigation of the dynamics of the kicked beam has revealed surprising properties. The coupling of space charge with chromatic- ity in addition to usual damping/non-damping dynamics, exhibits new properties typical of a linear coupling. [...]
