  Following the positive results of the three-year measurement campaign at the CERN Proton Synchrotron, the study of a possible implementation of the proposed multi-turn extraction based on beam splitting with stable islands in the transverse phase space was undertaken. A substantial reduction of beam losses, with respect to the present extraction scheme, should be achieved with the proposed technique when delivering the high-intensity proton beams required for the planned CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso Project. Major modifications to the ring layout are foreseen, such as a new design of the extraction bumps including also the installation of three additional kickers to create a closed-bump over the five turns used to extract the split beam. The ring aperture was reviewed and improvements are proposed to reduce possible beam losses between beam splitting and extraction. The goal consists of implementing the proposed changes by beginning of 2008 and to commission the novel extraction during the 2008 PS physics run.

  During extraction of a high intensity beam from the SPS in 2004 an incident occurred in which the vacuum chamber of a transfer line quadrupole magnet was badly damaged. The beam was a 450 GeV full LHC injection batch of 3.4·1013 p+ in 288 bunches, and was extracted with the wrong trajectory. The incident causes have been identified, with details reconstructed from the logged data and the damage to the vacuum chamber. The remedial measures which were taken are explained, and further recommendations made concerning the interlocking system performance and tests, as well as the operational procedures which must be adopted when commissioning with high intensities. The specific issues of how the incident happened, why the existing protection system was not sufficient and what can/has been done about it are addressed.

  In the J-PARC 3 GeV RCS injection system, the orbit-bump magnets of large-bore are located close with each other, and the incoming beam passes through the non-linear field region of the ring quadrupole magnet. Beam behavior under these conditions is analysed by means of the Runge-Kutta method in the three dimensional magnetic field distribution. The charge exchange foil is inserted between the bump magnets. Orbit of the stripped electrons from the foil is also investigated.
