/ 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. [...]

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.

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. [...]

The impact of high-flux protons on beam loss during slow extraction from the SPS to the North Area has been discussed, and improvements have been proposed focusing on reducing activation, lifetime reduction, and anode body distortion. The conducted studies shall demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the stainless-steel tank, flanges, and anode body with low-Z materials. [...]

Trajectory steering for DC beams at the CERN SPS using reinforcement learning based on intensity measurements
/ Menor De Onate, Adrian (CERN) ; Rodriguez Mateos, Borja (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Bruchon, Niky (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN)
The slow extracted beams at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) are transported over several 100 m long transfer lines to three targets in the CERN North Area Experimental Hall. The experiments need intensity fluctuations to be entirely eliminated over the roughly 5 s particle spill, requiring full debunching of the extracted beams. [...]

Detecting anomalies in non-static environments: continual learning applied to CERN's kicker magnet
/ Algelly, Malik (CERN) ; Kalousis, Alexandros (Geneva U.) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Huhn, Francisco (CERN) ; Papastergiou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Ellison, Patrick (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN)
The CERN accelerator complex relies critically on fast injection and extraction processes to transfer particle beams between accelerators via fast pulsed magnets, or kickers. Ensuring high availability is paramount, as the reliability of these systems directly impacts the large number of experiments conducted at CERN. [...]
