Recent developments relative to the injection and storage of the 160 MeV Linac4 high brightness beam for LHC into the CERN PS Booster are reviewed. This talk reports simulations made with the Orbit code. Focus is on H- charge exchange injection and following beam emittance evolution at 160 MeV. Injection is done via a painting scheme for optimal shaping of the initial particle distribution. Next, benchmarking of Orbit and Accsim simulations with measurements performed in the PS Booster on a stored beam at 160 MeV are discussed.
