  The CERN PS Booster will be upgraded with an H injection system. The chicane magnets for the injection bump ramp-down in 5 ms and generate eddy currents in the inconel vacuum chamber which perturb the homogeneity of the magnetic field. The multipolar field components are extracted from 3D OPERA simulations and are included in the lattice model. The beta-beating correction is computed all along the ramp and complete tracking simulations including space-charge are performed to evaluate the impact of these perturbations and their correction.

  The CERN PS Booster is one of the machines of the LHC injector chain which will be upgraded within the LIU (LHC Injectors upgrade) project. The injection energy of the PSB will be increased to 160MeV in order to mitigate direct space charge effects, considered to be the main performance limitation, thus allowing to double the brightness for the LHC beams. In order to better predict the gain to be expected, space charge simulations are being carried out. Efforts to establish a realistic modeling of field and alignment errors aim at extending the basic model of the machine towards a more realistic one. Simulations of beam dynamics with strong direct space charge and realistic errors are presented and analysed in this paper.

At high intensities and at a certain working point an instability develops in the CERN PS Booster, and large coherent transverse oscillations and beam loss occur. The coherent oscillations and beam loss can be effectively controlled with the transverse damper system, but the origin of the instability is not well-understood. Recent measurements with the PSB's new trajectory measurement system have provided some insight into the nature of this instability, and these observations are presented here.
