Magnetic cycle optimisation in the CERN PS booster
/ Albright, Simon (CERN) ; Newborough, Antony (CERN) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, Gian Piero (CERN) ; Marchi, Mariangela (CERN ; U. Rome La Sapienza (main)) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN)
The PS Booster is the first synchrotron in the CERN proton accelerator complex, which delivers both high-brightness and high-intensity beams. Injection to the Booster is at a kinetic energy of 160 MeV, therefore space charge is a main limiting factors for beam quality. [...]

Towards tailored beam distributions for fixed target experiments at CERN
/ Remta, Matthias (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Huhn, Francisco (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN)
The time-of-flight (nTOF) facility at CERN uses neutrons produced by a proton beam interacting with a fixed target. To prevent target damage, an upper bound on the peak energy density has been imposed. [...]

Gamma Factory: The light into the future
/ Budker, Dmitry (Mainz U. ; Darmstadt, GSI ; UC, Berkeley) ; Krasny, Mieczyslaw Witold (LPNHE, Paris ; CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN)
The Gamma Factory (GF) is an ambitious CERN proposal for a source of photons with energies up to about 400[Formula: see text]MeV and photon fluxes up to 10[Formula: see text] photons per second, exceeding those of the currently available gamma sources by orders of magnitude. The high-energy (secondary) photons are produced via resonant scattering of the primary laser photons by highly relativistic partially-stripped ions circulating in the accelerator. [...]

A new eddy current septum for the fast extraction
from CERN’s Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been designed and
constructed. This development aims to improve the magnet’s re-
liability, extend its service interval, and reduce radiation exposure
for maintenance personnel. [...]

Data-driven hysteresis compensation in the CERN SPS main magnets
/ Lu, Anton (CERN ; TU Vienna) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Petrone, Carlo (CERN) ; Di Capua, Vincenzo (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Taupadel, Maurus (CERN ; Darmstadt, Tech. U.)
Magnetic hysteresis and eddy current decay continue to challenge beam quality and operational consistency in multi-cycling machines like the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. Building on our previous work, this paper presents improvements in the data-driven approach for magnetic field modelling to enhance the reproducibility of SPS dipole and quadrupole fields and thus maintain stable beam parameters across all operational cycles.

Virtual temperature measurements of ferrite in in-vacuum kicker magnets
/ Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Huhn, Francisco (CERN) ; Favia, Giorgia (CERN) ; Ragkousis, Kleanthis (CERN) ; Diaz Zumel, Miguel (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Trubacova, Pavlina (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Injector Upgrade project has achieved unprecedented beam brightness levels, to fulfill the High Luminosity LHC requirements. This higher intensity has introduced significant challenges for some of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) kickers, specifically concerning beam-induced heating and vacuum rise due to electron cloud.The primary concern is the integrity of the ferrite within the kicker magnets, which is critical to the system's operation and availability.

First results of the new eddy current septum for the CERN PS fast extraction
/ Borburgh, Jan (CERN) ; Balhan, Bruno (CERN) ; Lackner, Friedrich (CERN) ; Gräwer, Gregor (CERN) ; Plett, Jonathan (RWTH Aachen U.) ; Ducimetière, Laurent (CERN) ; Porta, Lucien (CERN) ; Strobino, Léa (CERN) ; Atanasov, Miroslav (CERN) ; Yagci, Omer Yusuf (CERN) et al.
CERN has developed a new fast pulsed septum magnet to replace the aging PS proton extraction septum. The aim is to increase the refurbishment intervals of the magnet and to phase out the old power converter, while allowing energy savings during operation.The new system includes a novel under vacuum eddy current septum magnet, a new third-harmonic fast pulse generator and dedicated control system with post pulse fault analysis for achieving the required flat top precision.This paper will briefly describe the system development and focus on the lessons learned from its construction and report the results of the testing phase..

CERN’s upcoming SPS Beam Dump Facility (BDF) will host a production target designed to manage challenging thermal and mechanical conditions while providing the physics output required by the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment. It must fully absorb 400 GeV/c protons and dissipate up to 305 kW. [...]
