Description
- Keywords: Ions across chain, performance and reproducibility, bottlenecks
- Questions to be answered:
- What are the expected improvements in Linac3 (source, autopilot, new LLRF)?
- What are the key ingredients for the improvement of LEIR performance and reliability achieved in 2018?
- Is the impact of new diagnostics tools visible (new injection line BPMs, new orbit measurement system in LEIR, energy matching at injection in LEIR) and what it the potential?
- Which margins are needed to reliably deliver or exceed LIU beam parameters?
- Experience in Linac3/LEIR/PS from the LHC ion run, any bottlenecks found in PS with nominal (4 bunches with bunch splitting, 100 ns) and alternative (3 bunches, 75 ns)?
- Which key simulations with ions must be performed during LS2?
