Investigations on CERN PSB Beam Dynamics with Strong Direct Space Charge Effects Using the PTC-Orbit Code

The CERN PS Booster (PSB) has the largest space charge tune spread in the LHC injector chain. As part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the machine will be upgraded. Space charge and resonances are serious is- sues for the good quality of the beam at injection energy. Consequently simulati...

Descripción
Sumario:The CERN PS Booster (PSB) has the largest space charge tune spread in the LHC injector chain. As part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the machine will be upgraded. Space charge and resonances are serious is- sues for the good quality of the beam at injection energy. Consequently simulations are needed to track the beam in the machine taking into account space charge effects: PTC-ORBIT has been used as tracking code. This paper presents simulation results that are compared with mea-surements for machine performances evaluation and code- benchmarking purposes.
