Abstract

In the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project the CERN PS injection kinetic energy will be upgraded from 1.4 to 2 GeV. The injection equipment, which is already operating close to its limit, is being redesigned to cope with 30% increase in the beam rigidity. In this paper we present the experimental results from Machine Development (MD) studies on the present septum to explore its operational hardware limits with respect to aperture restrictions, beam losses and kick strengths in view of the LIU upgrade.
