	CERN’s LHC injector chain will have to deliver beams with ultimate brilliance as the LHC is heading for increased luminosity in the coming years. In order to overcome bottlenecks in the injector chain, an increase of the beam transfer energy from the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) to the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been investigated as a possible upgrade scenario. This paper gives an overview of the technical solutions and summarizes the conclusions of the feasibility study.

	Linac4 will inject 160 MeV H− ions in to the CERN PS Booster (PSB). This will allow to reduce space charge effects and increase beam intensity but will require a substantial upgrade of the injection region, with the implementation of a charge-exchange multi-turn injection scheme. The PSB has to provide beam to several users with different requirements in terms of beam intensity and emittance. Four kicker magnets (KSW), which are already installed in the PSB lattice, will be used to accomplish painting in the horizontal phase space to match the injected beams to the required emittances. Double linear functions, with varying slopes for each user, have been defined for the KSW generators waveforms according to detailed beam dynamic studies for all target intensities and emittances. Effect of space charge, injection offsets, dispersion and betatron mismatch have been taken into account. Preliminary studies have been carried out to evaluate how to obtain the required vertical emittance and the option of a transverse painting, also in the vertical plane, is explored.

Linac4 will inject 160 MeV H− ions in to the CERN PS Booster (PSB). This will allow to reduce space charge effects and increase beam intensity but will require a substantial upgrade of the injection region, with the implementation of a charge-exchange multi-turn injection scheme. The PSB has to provide beam to several users with different requirements in terms of beam intensity and emittance. Four kicker magnets (KSW), which are already installed in the PSB lattice, will be used to accomplish painting in the horizontal phase space to match the injected beams to the required emittances. Double linear functions, with varying slopes for each user, have been defined for the KSW generators waveforms according to detailed beam dynamic studies for all target intensities and emittances. Effect of space charge, injection offsets, dispersion and betatron mismatch have been taken into account. Preliminary studies have been carried out to evaluate how to obtain the required vertical emittance and the option of a transverse painting, also in the vertical plane, is explored.
