Recently a novel approach to perform multi-turn extraction was proposed based on beam splitting in the transverse phase space by means of trapping inside stable islands. During the year 2002 run, preliminary measurements at the CERN Proton Synchrotron with a low-intensity, single-bunch, proton beam, confirmed the possibility of generating various beamlets starting from a single Gaussian beam. The experimental campaign continued also in the year 2003 run to assess a number of key issues, such as feasibility of trapping with high-intensity beam, capture efficiency, and multi-turn extraction proper. The experimental results are presented and discussed in detail in this paper.

Space charge effects and intrabeam scattering usually play a minor role in high energy machines like the SPS. They can potentially become a limitation for the heavy ion beams needed for the LHC at the injection plateau in the SPS. Experimental studies on space charge limitations performed on low energy proton beams in the SPS will be described. Theoretical studies have been performed to predict emittance growth times due to intrabeam scattering using several different codes.

For the high brilliance LHC ultimate beam and the high intensity CNGS beam, single batch injections into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) will be used to increase the overall machine intensity compared with the present double batch injections. Charge-exchange injection into the PS Booster with a new linac at intermediate energies is thus examined. A key parameter to consider is the energy dependence of beam incoherent tune shifts at injection. Increasing the linac energy from the present 50 MeV to 160 MeV should yield a safer tune shift. For each PS Booster ring, a charge-exchange injection scheme is envisaged inside a proper straight section, redesigned with new bends to make a local bump and using the existing fast bump magnets for horizontal phase-space painting. ACCSIM simulations for charge-exchange injection at 160 MeV have been investigated for both LHC and CNGS beams. After optimizing the parameters that are used for the space charge tracking routines, the results of the simulations agree well with expectations, signifying that the LHC ultimate and CNGS beams may be provided with single PS Booster batches within the required emittances. For assessment, simulation of injection at 50 MeV for the current LHC beam has been performed, yielding a fairly good agreement with measured performance. Concurrently, similar charge-exchange injection simulations have been carried out using an alternative programme developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

An intensive study has been undertaken since the year 2002 to understand better the various high-intensity bottlenecks of the CERN Proton Synchrotron machine. One of these limitations comes from the so-called Montague resonance. High-intensity proton synchrotrons, having larger horizontal than vertical emittance, may suffer from this fourth-order coupling resonance driven by space charge only. In particular, such resonance may lead to emittance sharing and, possibly, beam loss due to vertical acceptance limitation. Experimental observations made in the 2002 and 2003 runs on the Montague resonance are presented in this paper and compared with 3D particle-in-cell simulation results and theoretical predictions.

A sizeable part of the LHC physics programme foresees heavy ion (lead-lead) collisions with a design luminosity of 1027 cm-2 s-1. This will be achieved after an upgrade of the ion injector chain comprising Linac3, LEIR, PS and SPS machines. Each LHC ring will be filled in ~10 minutes with ~600 bunches, each of 7 107 Pb ions. Central to the scheme is the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR), which transforms long pulses from Linac3 to high-brilliance bunches by means of 6D multi-turn injection and accumulation via electron cooling. Major limitations along the chain, including space charge, intra-beam scattering, vacuum issues, and emittance preservation are highlighted. The conversion from LEAR (Low Energy Antiproton Ring) to LEIR includes new magnets and power converters, high-current electron cooling, broad-band RF cavities, upgraded beam diagnostics, and UHV vacuum equipment relying on beam scrubbing to achieve a few 10-12 mbar. Major hardware changes in Linac3 (Electron Cyclotron Resonance source, repetition rate, energy ramping cavity), PS (new injection hardware, elaborate RF gymnastics, stripping insertion), and SPS (100 MHz system) are described. An early beam scenario, using fewer bunches but the same bunch intensity to deliver a lower luminosity, reduces the work required for LHC ion operation in spring 2008.
