RF power margin for operation with fixed-target in the CERN SPS
/ Papotti, Giulia (CERN) ; Cipolla, Gino (CERN) ; Li, Kevin (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) Radio Frequency (RF) system was upgraded as part of the Large Hadron Collider Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, and now comprises six 200 MHz travelling wave structures, each fed by a separate RF power amplifier. While the upgrade was targeting the peak power for capture and acceleration of the beams for the High Luminosity LHC, it also brought an increase in the available average power for fixed-target beams.

Following a recommendation of the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU) to intensify the accelerator R&D;, the European Accelerator R&D; Roadmap with five topical research panels was implemented in 2022. Two of the panels, high field magnets, and high gradient RF structures and systems are technology oriented and their R&D; efforts will support several collider concepts. [...]

Demonstrating beam splitting through stable islands formed by the third-order resonance at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron
/ Veres, Dora (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Franchetti, Giuliano (Darmstadt, GSI)
In recent years, several new beam manipulation techniques have been proposed that exploit the crossing of nonlinear resonances and the use of stable islands of the transverse phase space. One such manipulation is a novel approach to slow extraction, which combines particle trapping in stable islands with the use of bent crystals to reduce losses on the extraction septum. [...]

Quadrupole pumping for bunch shortening in the Proton Synchrotron and Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN
/ Flowerdew, Jake (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Karpov, Ivan (CERN) ; Heine, Ruben (CERN)
Quadrupole pumping is a longitudinal manipulation technique for bunch shortening, which works by modulating the RF voltage at twice the synchrotron frequency to excite bunch length oscillations. These controlled oscillations rotate the bunch in longitudinal phase space, with extraction set for when the bunch is shortest. [...]

Broadband characterization of the CERN-SPS driving and detuning impedance

The CERN-SPS transverse impedance model plays an important role in predicting beam stability and guiding machine operation. This work advances the benchmarking of the SPS vertical impedance model through experimental investigations of mode-zero instability growth rates and intensity-dependent tune shifts as a function of chromaticity.

Optical and laser systems for the AWAKE run $^{2}$C experiment

In the AWAKE Run 2c experiment, two electron beams are injected into two separate rubidium (Rb) vapour sources. The first electron beam initiates the self-modulation of a proton bunch in the first vapour source, while the second electron beam serves as a witness beam for plasma wakefield acceleration with low energy spread in the second vapour source.

Towards operational optics measurements with AC Dipole excitations in the CERN SPS
/ Zisopoulos, Panagiotis (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Dilly, Joschua (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Hostettler, Michi (CERN)
In the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), a new AC dipole excitation functionality has been implemented with the aid of the Beam-Based Feedback and Diagnostic Systems. This feature facilitates precise and systematic optics measurements, presenting a robust alternative to the conventional single-kick excitation method. [...]

Preliminary results of crystal channelling optimisation in the LHC using reinforcement learning
/ Vella, Andrea (Malta U. ; CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Valentino, Gianluca (Malta U. ; CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can operate with high intensity proton and heavy ion beams, both of which require a collimation system to ensure an efficient operation and to protect against damage to sensitive equipment along the ring. The crystal collimation scheme using bent silicon crystals as primary collimators was therefore introduced to improve the collimation efficiency for heavy ion-beams. [...]

Achievement of LIU longitudinal parameters at the CERN SPS

To prepare the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) as an injector for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), its Radiofrequency (RF) system was majorly upgraded. The 200 MHz travelling wave structures were rearranged, adding two solid-state power amplifiers and a new Low-Level RF (LLRF) system. [...]
