  J-PARC MR has been operated at tune (νxy)=(22.40,20.75). A new operating point around (21.4,21.4) has been proposed by simulation studies on space charge effect since 2013. Machine experiments at the operating point has been performed since 2014 and many encouraging results are being obtained. We discuss why new operating point is better than present one from view point of space charge effects.

  In order to reach the target beam parameters of the LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project the beam degradation due to losses and emittance growth on the long injection plateau of the SPS needs to be minimized. A detailed study of the dependence of losses, transverse emittance blow-up and transverse beam tail creation as function of the working point is presented here for a high brightness single bunch beam with a vertical space charge tune spread of about 0.2 on the 26 GeV injection plateau. The beam behaviour close to important betatron resonances is characterised and a region in the tune diagram with minimal beam degradation is identified. Implications about the performance for LIU beams are discussed.

  Beam quality degradation caused by e-cloud effects has been identified as one of the main performance limitations for high intensity LHC beams with 25 ns bunch spacing in the SPS. In view of the beam parameters targeted with the LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project, about two weeks of SPS machine time in 2015 were devoted to dedicated scrubbing runs with high intensity LHC 25 ns and dedicated 'doublet' beams in order to study the achievable reduction of e-cloud effects and quantify the consequent beam performance improvements. This paper describes the main observations concerning the coherent instabilities and beam dynamics limitations encountered as well as a detailed characterisation of the performance reach with the highest beam intensity presently available from the pre-injectors.

  With the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, the injection energy of PS Booster (PSB) ' first circular accelerator in the LHC injector chain ' will be raised from 50 MeV to 160 MeV and the present multiturn injection will be upgraded to H injection with transverse and longitudinal painting. In the scope of this project, it is planned to double the beam intensities, profiting from the fact that the βγ2 factor will be two times larger (0.35 at 50 MeV and 0.71 at 160 MeV), so the resulting tune spread driven by a direct space charge should remain similar. This paper describes the feasibility to double the intensity of high intensity and large emittance beams, looking into the evolution under space charge and taking into account losses constrains in the ring and in the extraction lines.

  In the frame of the LIU (LHC Injectors Upgrade) project, the CERN PS Booster is going to be renovated to host a new H charge-exchange injection from the Linac4. One important feature of the new injection scheme is the possibility to tailor a wide range of 3D emittances for CERN's different users in an intensity span in the order of 5·109 to 1.6·1013 protons per PSB ring. This paper gives an overview of 3D multi-turn injection techniques, focusing on the future LHC beams, which aim at reaching high brightness, and on highest intensity beams (ISOLDE), where losses are the main concern. Complete RF capture simulations and transverse injection maps, including space charge effects, are presented and also intended to be used during the commissioning with Linac4.

  The development of Electron Multipacting (EM) in high intensity particle accelerators depends, amongst others, on the Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) of surfaces facing the beam. In-situ studies of electron clouds in particle accelerators must cope with operation schedule and other technical constrains. To overcome these difficulties, CERN implemented a Multipactor test bench, where EM is generated by Radio-Frequency (RF), using the beam pipes as a coaxial resonators. This tool was already successfully used to assess the effectiveness of low SEY carbon coatings on dipoles of the SPS at CERN and to study the conditioning dynamics of beam pipes. In this paper we present the development of an in-house built Retarding Field Energy Analyser (RFEA) to measure the Electrons Energy Distribution Function (EEDF) in the Multipactor test bench. The design of the electrodes was based on simulations in order to optimize sensitivity and energy resolution. The setup was tested with an electron gun at different energies before insertion in the Multipactor test bench. The evolution of the EEDF is measured at different RF powers. Feasibility to perform measurements in the machine is discussed.

MOPOR047 Numerical and Experimental Substantiation of the Ion Density Beam Transfer Function Measurements 698

In the ELSA stretcher ring electrons are accelerated to a beam energy of 3.2 GeV utilizing a fast energy ramp of 6 GeV/s. Ions being generated by collision with the residual gas molecules accumulate inside the beam potential, causing incoherent tune shifts and coherent beam instabilities. Since the ion induced incoherent tune shift rises linearly with the beam neutralisation, it offers a suitable approach for evaluating the efficiency of several ion clearing measures. It was indirectly measured using a new experimental approach: By measuring the beam transfer function using a broadband transversal kicker, one was able to perceive a shift and broadening of the tune peak. Both effects could be adequately parameterized providing a quantity proportional to the incoherent tune shift and thus the average neutralisation. The impact of incoherent effects to the coherent electron beam response during the measurement has not been subject to intensive theoretical attention yet. This leaves the obtained quantity unscaled. Here new numerical simulations and experimental investigations will be presented in order to further substantiate the results of this new method.
