The PS Booster successfully received its first beams from Linac4 in December. The PSB team is now preparing the machine for acceleration
COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on the activities and schedule of LS2. Nevertheless, the accelerators are now starting up again
Two new internal beam dumps and a new septum magnet have been installed in the PS as part of the LIU project
It’s the end of Long Shutdown 2 for the PS Booster, the first accelerator to be recommissioned, alongside Linac 4
The result represents an essential step towards using these molecules for fundamental physics research and beyond
New injection and acceleration equipment is being installed in the PS Booster, which is in the midst of a major overhaul
In the first of our series of articles on work done during LS2, we focus on the second link in the accelerator chain, the PS Booster
New septum magnets will send the beam to the four rings of the PS Booster after the Long Shutdown 2
The first of the 28 radio-frequency cavities for the PS Booster’s new acceleration system is ready
The accelerator chain and the experiments that it serves are gradually awakening after the extended year-end technical stop (EYETS)
