Recent improvements of the RF Beam control for LHC-type beams in the CERN PS

To cope with the large variety of different beams for the LHC, the RF beam control in the CERN PS has evolved continuously to improve its flexibility and reliability. Single-bunch beams, several different multi-bunch beams with 25, 50 or 75 ns bunch spacing at ejection for LHC filling, as well as tw...

description To cope with the large variety of different beams for the LHC, the RF beam control in the CERN PS has evolved continuously to improve its flexibility and reliability. Single-bunch beams, several different multi-bunch beams with 25, 50 or 75 ns bunch spacing at ejection for LHC filling, as well as two lead-ion beam variants are now regularly produced in pulse-to-pulse operation. The multibunch beam control for protons can be easily re-adjusted from 0.25 · 1011 to 1.3 · 1011 particles per ejected bunch. Depending on the number of bunches injected from the PS Booster, the length of the ejected bunch train may vary from 8 to 72 bunches. This paper summarizes recent improvements in the low-level RF systems and gives an outlook on the future consolidation.
