	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). During the 2019-2020 CERN accelerators shutdown, extensive hardware modifications were implemented in the entire LHC proton and ion injection chains, involving the new Linac4, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the ion PS injectors, i.e. the Linac3 and the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR). Since 2021, beams have been recommissioned throughout the injectors’ chain and the beam parameters are being gradually ramped up to meet the LIU specifications using new beam dynamics solutions adapted to the upgraded accelerators. This paper focuses on the proton beams and describes the current state of the art.

TUC3I2	Shaping High Brightness and Fixed Target Beams with the CERN PSB Charge Exchange Injection	135
	C. Bracco, S.C.P. Albright, F. Asvesta, G.P. Di Giovanni, F. Roncarolo CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	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. Details on the concept, physics, hardware and diagnostic tools are presented while retracing the exciting steps of the successful commissioning period and the first years of operation with this system. A look to the future is taken by explaining the next stages to achieve the ambitious Luminosity targets foreseen for the HL-LHC era.

THBP09	Pushing High Intensity and High Brightness Limits in the CERN PSB after the LIU Upgrades	458

	After the successful completion of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) has produced beams with up to two times higher brightness. However, the efforts to continuously improve the beam quality for the CERN physics experiments are ongoing. In particular, the high brightness LHC beams show non-Gaussian tails in the transverse profiles that can cause losses in the downstream machines, and even at LHC injection. As a result, alternative production schemes based on triple harmonic capture are being investigated in order to preserve brightness and reduce transverse tails at the same time. In addition, in view of a possible upgrade to the ISOLDE facility that would require approximately twice the number of protons per ring, the ultimate intensity reach of the PSB is explored. In this context, injection schemes using painting both transversely and longitudinally in order to mitigate the strong space charge effects are developed.
