The Multi-Turn Extraction, a new type of extraction based on beam trapping inside stable islands in the horizontal phase space, has been commissioned during the 2008 run of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Both single- and multi-bunch beams with a total intensity up to 1.4×10¹³ protons have been extracted with efficiencies up to 98%. Furthermore, injection tests in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron were performed, with the beam then accelerated and extracted to produce neutrinos for the CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso experiments. The results of the extensive measurement campaign are presented and discussed in details.
