Description
An overview on the new PSB H- injection system is presented in this talk. The principle of longitudinal painting, consisting in energy modulation from Linac4, is introduced. Transverse painting in the horizontal plane, by means of four existing PSB kicker magnets (KSW), is described. Results of extensive and detailed beam dynamic studies allowed to precisely define the KSW generators waveforms fulfilling the requirements in intensities and emittances of all the PSB users. Preliminary studies have been carried out to evaluate how to obtain the required vertical emittance and the option of a transverse painting, also in the vertical plane, is explored.
