	To provide HL-LHC performance, the CERN LHC injector chain underwent a major upgrade during an almost 2-year-long shutdown. In the first half of 2021 the injectors were gradually re-started with the aim to reach at least pre-shutdown parameters for LHC as well as for fixed target beams. The strategy of the commissioning across the complex, a summary of the many challenges and finally the achievements will be presented. Several lessons were learned and have been integrated to define the strategy for the performance ramp-up over the coming years. Remaining limitations and prospects for LHC beam parameters at the exit of the LHC injector chain in the years to come will be discussed. Finally, the emerging need for improved operability of the CERN complex will be addressed, with a description of the first efforts to meet the availability and flexibility requirements of the HL-LHC era while at the same time maximizing fixed target physics output.

WEOYGD3	Isochronous Mode of the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI	1620
	S.A. Litvinov, R. Hess, B. Lorentz, M. Steck GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	The isochronous optics of the ESR is a unique ion-optical setting in which the particles within a finite momentum acceptance circulate at constant frequency. It is used for direct mass measurements of short-lived exotic nuclei by a Time-of-Flight method. Besides the mass spectrometry, the isochronous ESR has been used as an instrument for the search of short lived isomers stored in the ring, which was performed in 2021 for the first time. Introduction to the isochronous mode of the ESR, comparison with a standard operational mode, recent machine experiments will be presented here. Possible improvements of the isochronous optics at the ESR and perspectives of the isochronous mode at CR, FAIR will be outlined.

WEPOPT006	Investigation of Spin-Decoherence in the NICA Storage Ring for the Future EDM-Measurement Experiment	1835
	A.E. Aksentyev, A.A. Melnikov, Y. Senichev RAS/INR, Moscow, Russia A.E. Aksentyev MEPhI, Moscow, Russia V. Ladygin, E. Syresin JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region, Russia
	Funding: We acknowledge support by the joint Deutsche ForschungsGemeinschaft (DFG) and Russian Science Foundation (RSF) grant 22-42-04419 A new experiment to measure electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles, based on the Frequency Domain method, has been proposed for implementation at the NICA facility (JINR, Russia). EDM experiments in general, being measurement-of-polarization experiments, require long spin-coherence times at around 1,000 seconds. The FD method involves a further complication (well paid off in orders of precision) of switching the polarity of the guiding field as part of its CW-CCW injection procedure. This latter procedure necessitates a calibration process, during which the beam polarization axis changes its orientation from the radial (used for the measurement) to the vertical (used for the calibration) direction. If this change occurs adiabatically, the beam particles’ spin-vectors follow the direction of the polarization axis, which undermines the calibration technique; however, concerns were raised as to whether violation of adiabaticity could damage spin-coherence.

	We discuss design considerations for a circular ion trap based on electromagnetic and particle beam simulations. This is a circular radiofrequency quadrupole (rfq) being designed for quantum information applications. The circular rfq should have good electromagnetic properties to accumulate and store the beam for prolonged times, while providing apertures for laser cooling and lower voltage electrodes to provide control over the beam. We use the electromagnetic and particle-in-cell software VSim, which uses finite difference time-domain and particle-in-cell methods, together with high performance computing tools.

	After the successful implementation of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, studies were conducted in the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) in order to assess the intensity reach with the increased beam brightness. The studies focused on the high intensity beams delivered to the PSB users, both at 1.4 and 2 GeV. In addition, possible intensity limitations in view of the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) Study were investigated. To this end, various machine configurations were tested including different resonance compensation schemes and chromaticity settings in correlation with the longitudinal parameters. This paper summarizes the results obtained since the machine recommissioning.

WEPOTK012	Commissioning the New LLRF System of the CERN PS Booster	2060
	S.C.P. Albright, M.E. Angoletta, D. Barrientos, A. Findlay, M. Jaussi, J.C. Molendijk CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	The PS Booster (PSB) is the first synchrotron in the injection chain for protons. The beams produced for the LHC and various fixed target experiments cover a very large parameter space. Over the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), the PSB was heavily upgraded as part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. The low-level RF systems now drive the new Finemet-loaded cavities, control RF synchronisation for the new injection mechanism, and cope with the increased injection and extraction energies. The Finemet cavities provide exceptional flexibility, allowing an arbitrary distribution of voltage at different revolution frequency harmonics, but at the cost of significant broadband impedance. The new injection mechanism allows bunch-to-bucket multi-turn injection, which significantly reduces the amount of beam loss at the start of the cycle. The longitudinal beam production schema for each beam-type was developed based on simulations during LS2, and then adapted during the setting-up phase to suit the final operational configuration. This paper discusses the commissioning of the new LLRF, and the consequences of the LIU upgrades on the production of various beams.

Gamage, T. Satogata, W. Wittmer JLab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	The Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will accelerate protons and heavy ions up to a proton energy of 275 GeV and an Au⁺⁷⁹ 110 GeV/u to collide with electrons of energies up to 18 GeV. To accomplish the acceleration process, the hadrons are pre-accelerated in the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS), extracted, and transferred to HSR for injection. The planned area for injection is the current Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 4 o’clock straight section. To inject hadrons, a series of modifications must be made to the existing RHIC 4 o’clock straight section to accommodate for the 20 new ~18 ns injection kickers and a new injection septum, while providing sufficient space and proper beam conditions for polarimetry equipment. These modifications will be discussed in this paper.

Wittmer JLab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will be composed of the current Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) yellow ring sextants with the exception of the 1 o’clock and the 11 o’clock arc. These two arcs use the existing blue ring inner (1 o’clock) and outer (11 o’clock) magnetic lattice for 275 GeV proton operation. The inner yellow 11 o’clock arc is used for 41 GeV energy operation. A switching magnet must be used to guide the hadron beam from the low and high energy arc respectively into the shared arc. This report provides the necessary lattice configuration, magnetic fields, and optics for the 10 o’clock utility straight section (USS) switchyard for both high and low energy configuration while providing the necessary space allocations and beam specifications for accelerator systems such as an additional radiofrequency cavity and beam dump.

These two arcs use the existing blue ring inner (1 o’clock) and outer (11 o’clock) magnetic lattice for 275 GeV proton operation. The inner yellow 11 o’clock arc is used for 41 GeV energy operation. A switching magnet must be used to guide the hadron beam from the low and high energy arc respectively into the shared arc. This report provides the necessary lattice configuration, magnetic fields, and optics for the 10 o’clock utility straight section (USS) switchyard for both high and low energy configuration while providing the necessary space allocations and beam specifications for accelerator systems such as an additional radiofrequency cavity and beam dump.

IMP/CAS, Lanzhou, People’s Republic of China

The two high-intensity ion beam accelerator facilities HIAF (High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility) and CIADS (China Initiative Accelerator Driven System) are being built by IMP in China. The talk will review construction status of HIAF and CIADS firstly. The talk will focus on the recent demonstrations of some key technologies related to HIAF and CIADS. The emphasis will be put on 3 technology demonstrations. 1. Development of the world first 45 GHz ECR ion source based on Nb₃Sn magnet. 2. Performance demonstrations for a key component assembly of the HIAF synchrotron with a dipole magnet, a 38000 A/s fast ramping high-power (5.1 kA/3.6 kV) power supply, a new type vacuum chamber with 0.3 mm thickness wall and 2 mm ceramic ring. 3. Beam commissioning at CW 10 mA/200 kW and reliability & availability demonstration achieved at CW 120 kW/7.2 mA proton beam for more than 100 hours continuous operation by a superconducting proton linac demo-machine composed of a RFQ and 4 cryomodules containing 23 half wave resonance cavities.

In 2021 the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) moved from commissioning into the physics production phase providing 100 keV antiprotons to the newly connected experiments paving the way to an improved trapping efficiency by one to two orders of magnitude compared to the AD era. After recalling the major work undertaken during the CERN Long Shutdown 2 (2019-2020) in the antiproton deceleration complex, details will be given on the ELENA ring and the new electrostatic transfer line beam commissioning using an ion source. Sub-sequentially, the progress from commissioning with ions to operation with antiprotons will be described with emphasis on the achieved beam performance. Finally, the impact on the performance of the main hardware systems will be reviewed.
