| Abstract | The CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) was upgraded within the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. The PSB delivers high-brightness beams for collisions at the LHC as well as a large variety of high-intensity beams for fixed target experiments. In the context of the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study and in view of a possible upgrade of the ISOLDE experimental area, an increase of the beam intensity from the present 0.8e13 to up to 1.6e13 particles per ring are considered. High-intensity tests have thus been performed during machine development studies in 2023 injecting the nominal or higher beam current from Linac4. In this contribution, the intensity reach and the main performance limitations for the production of high-intensity beams in the PSB are presented. The results are compared to numerical simulations. |
