The Proton Synchrotron Booster in October 1972,just four months after being switched on for the first time 40th anniversary On 26 May 1972, the PS Booster (PSB) accelerated its first protons. Has far exceeded its initial design performance over the years !! p/ring energy .Initially 5x1012 800 MeVToday 5x109 to 1x10131,4 GeV Festive colloquium on Friday, September 28, 2012 OP group-meeting
Operation Good operationLong yearHighest beam quality & availabilityMD beams for everybody LHC beamEmittances measurements and brightness calculation every shift done to ensure high quality. Beam significantly optimized in September. OP group-meeting
Upgrades FINEMET cavity Installed on ring 4 during 2011 winter-stop. Successfully driven and controlled during MD’s with Prototype Digital Beam Control. Tests on cavity capabilities with beam. Trajectories Injection PU change - 1 BPM installed, first tests conclusiveNew rings Trajectory Meas. System - 3 BPMs connected, in testEjection PU change - 10 WCMs + ADCs installed, in commissioning OP group-meeting
Let’s go for 40 years again ! Thanks for your attention C.Bidaut OP group-meeting
