Batch spacing optimization by reinforcement learning / Remta, Matthias (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Rezagholi, Sharwin (Unlisted, AT)
Beams designated for the LHC are injected into the SPS in multiple batches. Given the tight spacing of 200 ns between these batches, the injection kickers have to be precisely synchronized with the injected beam to minimize injection oscillations. [...]

Threshold for loss of Landau damping in double-harmonic rf systems / Intelisano, Leandro (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Karpov, Ivan (CERN)
The loss of Landau damping (LLD) can lead to beam quality degradation in single- and multi-bunch beams in synchrotrons. In the longitudinal plane, the LLD threshold is increased by reducing the beam-coupling impedance, applying controlled emittance blowup, or employing higher-harmonic rf systems. [...]

LETTER OF INTENT: THE FORWARD PHYSICS FACILITY / Boyd, Jamie (CERN) ; Anders, John Kenneth (University of Liverpool (GB)) ; Ariga, Akitaka (Chiba University (JP)) ; Ariga, Tomoko (Kyushu University (JP)) ; Atkinson, Jeremy (Universitaet Bern (CH)) ; Barr, Alan (University of Oxford (GB)) ; Beck, Hans Peter (Universitaet Bern (CH)) ; Bernlochner, Florian Urs (University of Bonn (DE)) ; Bian, Jianming (University of California Irvine (US)) ; Bosco, Silas (Universitaet Bern (CH)) et al.
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed extension of the HL-LHC program designed to exploit the unique scientific opportunities offered by the intense flux of high energy neutrinos, and possibly new particles, in the far-forward direction. Located in a well-shielded cavern 627 m downstream of one of the LHC interaction points, the facility will support a broad and ambitious physics program that significantly expands the discovery potential of the HL-LHC.

Experience with the CERN LINAC4 and its performance during the first four years of operation / Skowronski, P (CERN) ; Akroh, A (CERN) ; Bielawski, B (CERN) ; Bracco, C (CERN) ; Sargsyan, E (CERN) ; Said, E (CERN) ; Chapuis, F (CERN) ; Asvesta, F (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, G (CERN) ; Bellodi, G (CERN) et al.
Since 2020 LINAC4 provides the protons for the entire CERN accelerator complex. It accelerates H- ions to a kinetic energy of 160 MeV and injects them into the Proton Synchrotron (PS) Booster using a charge exchange injection mechanism. [...]

Machine learning for the anomaly detection and characterization of the 24 GeV/c proton beam at CERN IRRAD Facility / Szumega, Jaroslaw (CERN ; Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Bougueroua, Lamine (EFREI, Villejuif) ; Gkotse, Blerina (U. Wisconsin, Madison (main) ; CERN ; Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Jouvelot, Pierre (Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Ravotti, Federico (CERN) /EA-IRRAD Proton Collaboration
The accurate assessment of beam quality is the most important aspect in the irradiation facilities operation such as IRRAD at CERN. The Beam Profile Monitor (BPM) sensor system developed for the high-intensity proton beam at IRRAD features minimal particle interaction, improved radiation hardness and higher sensitivity and sampling rate than previous systems.
