Beam performance and operational efficiency at the CERN Proton Synchrotron
/ Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Coly, Marcel (CERN) ; Cotte, Denis (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Dumont, Jean-Charles (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN) ; Easton, Sandy (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Guerrero, Ana (CERN) et al.
The injectors for the LHC at CERN underwent a major upgrade during a recent two-year long shutdown in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. Following this upgrade, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) was restarted in 2021, with the same beam quality as before the upgrade quickly achieved or surpassed. [...]

Matching Studies Between the CERN PSB and PS Using Turn-by-Turn Beam Profile Acquisitions with a Residual Beam Gas Ionisation Monitor
/ Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Coly, Marcel (CERN) ; Guerrero, Ana (CERN) ; Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Jensen, Steen (CERN) ; Levasseur, Swann (CERN) ; Roncarolo, Federico (CERN) ; Rossi, Adriana (CERN) ; Sandberg, Hampus (CERN) ; Storey, James (CERN)
In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project, the Beam Gas Ionisation (BGI) profile monitors installed in the Proton Synchrotron (PS) were fitted with a gas injection system capable of boosting the signal rate high enough to capture single turn acquisitions immediately after injection. This contribution reports on the studies carried out during the beam commissioning of the BGI system in a turn-by-turn matching monitor mode for its eventual implementation in an optimisation framework to preserve emittance during transfer between the PS Booster and PS.

Beam Commissioning and Optimisation in the CERN Proton Synchrotron After the Upgrade of the LHC Injectors
/ Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Coly, Marcel (CERN) ; Cotte, Denis (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Dumont, Jean-Charles (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN) ; Easton, Sandy (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Hans, Oliver (CERN) et al.
The CERN LHC injector chain underwent a major upgrade during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. After 2 years of installation work, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) was restarted in 2021 with the goal to achieve pre-LS2 beam quality by the end of 2021. [...]

Ferro-Electric Fast Reactive Tuner Applications for SRF Cavities
/ Shipman, Nicholas C (CERN) ; Ben-Zvi, Ilan (BNL, NSLS) ; Burt, Graeme (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Castilla, Alejandro (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; CERN) ; Coly, Marcel R (CERN) ; Gerigk, Frank (CERN) ; Jing, Chunguang J (Euclid Techlabs, Solon) ; Kanareykin, Alexei (Euclid Techlabs, Solon) ; Macpherson, Alick (CERN) ; Stapley, Niall (CERN) et al.
A Ferro-Electric fast Reactive Tuner (FE-FRT) is a novel type of RF cavity tuner containing a low loss ferroelectric material. FE-FRTs have no moving parts and allow cavity frequencies to be changed extremely quickly (on the timescale of 100s of ns or less). [...]

A Ferroelectric Fast Reactive Tuner (FE-FRT) to Combat Microphonics
/ Shipman, Nicholas (CERN) ; Bastard, Jeremy (CERN) ; Ben-Zvi, Ilan (Brookhaven) ; Burt, Graeme (Lancaster U.) ; Castilla, Alejandro (Lancaster U.) ; Coly, Marcel (CERN) ; Gerigk, Frank (CERN) ; Jing, Chunguang (Euclid Techlabs, Solon) ; Kanareykin, Alexei (Euclid Techlabs, Solon) ; Macpherson, Alick (CERN) et al.
A prototype Fast Reactive Tuner (FRT) for superconducting cavities has been developed, which allows the frequency to be controlled by application of a potential difference across a newly developed ultra-low loss ferro-electric material residing within the tuner. The tuner operates at room temperature, outside of the cryostat and coupled to the cavity via an antenna and co-axial cable. [...]

A prototype FerroElectric Fast Reactive Tuner (FE-FRT) for superconducting cavities has been developed, which allows the frequency to be controlled by application of a potential difference across a ferroelectric residing within the tuner. This technique has now become practically feasible due to the recent development of a new extremely low loss ferroelectric material. [...]

Approaching the High-Intensity Frontier Using the Multi-Turn Extraction at the CERN Proton Synchrotron
/ Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Cettour-Cave, Stephane (CERN) ; Coly, Marcel (CERN) ; Cotte, Denis (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Gilardoni, Simone (CERN) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) et al.
Complementary to the physics research at the LHC, sev- eral fixed target facilities receive beams from the LHC in- jector complex. To serve the fixed target physics program at the Super Proton Synchrotron, high-intensity proton beams from the Proton Synchrotron are extracted using the Multi- Turn Extraction technique based on trapping parts of the beam in stable resonance islands.
