  In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) a new rapid cycling synchrotron as alternative to the PS Booster has been proposed. In this paper we present the lattice constraints and requirement as well as the current status of the RCS lattice design and beam dynamics studies.

  CERN’s proton injector chain is undergoing a massive consolidation and upgrade program in order to deliver beams meeting the needs of the LHC Luminosity Upgrade. As an alternative to the upgrade of the existing Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the construction of a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) has been studied. This machine would replace the PSB and deliver beams to the LHC as well as to CERN’s rich fixed-target physics program. This paper summarizes the outcome of the feasibility study along with a tentative RCS design.
