negatively charged hydrogen ions into CERN's PS-Booster. Its ion source is a noncesiated rf
driven H− volume source directly inspired from the one of DESY and is aimed to deliver
pulses of 80 mA of H− during 0.4 ms at a 2 Hz repetition rate. The Superconducting Proton
Linac (SPL) project is part of the luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. It consists
of an extension of Linac4 up to 5 GeV and is foreseen to deliver protons to a future 50 GeV …
