| August 2008IONS FOR LHC: TOWARDS COMPLETION OF THE INJECTOR CHAIN (2008) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| The commissioning of CERN’s ion injector complex [1] to allow 1.1 PeV collisions of ions in LHC is well under way. After the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) in 2005 [2] and the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 2006 [3], the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) has now been commissioned with the “Early ” ion beam, which should give a luminosity of 5×10 25 cm-2 s-1 in the LHC. This paper summarizes the operation in 2007 of all the machines involved in the ion injection chain. | |||||||||||||
