Sumario:In the framework of the planned CERN PS Booster (PSB) energy upgrade, a study was initiated to look into the possibilities and constraints to inject protons into the PS at kinetic energies up to 2 GeV, for LHC type beams and other (high intensity) beams. This paper highlights the identified bottlenecks and potential solutions and addresses the resulting requirements for the hardware in the transfer line and injection region of the PS. In conjunction with the proposed upgrade of the PSB-PS transfer line hardware the optics can be changed for different cycles. Optics solutions optimized for the different requirements of LHC type and other beams are presented.
