The CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) has been known to suffer from horizontal
instabilities since its early operation in the 1970s. These instabilities appear at specific beam …

NA61/SHINE (SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) is a multi-purpose experimental
facility to study hadron production in hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus …

Beam coupling impedance is a fundamental parameter to characterize the electromagnetic
interaction of a particle beam with the surrounding environment. Synchrotron machine …

The precise knowledge of the magnetic field produced by dipole magnets is critical to the
operation of a synchrotron. Real-time measurement systems may be required, especially in …

A compact Paul ion trap is employed to replicate the dynamic behavior of a relativistic
charged-particle beam traveling in a large-scale accelerator. The nonlinear resonance …

The research activity described in this thesis work is mainly dedicated to developing a
longitudinal and a transverse beam coupling impedance model for the CERN Proton …

Abstract The CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) was the first facility ever built providing
colliding hadron beams. It mainly operated with protons with beam energies of 15 to 31 GeV …

In this thesis we mainly focus on particle accelerators applied to high energy physics
research where a fundamental parameter, the luminosity, is maximized in order to increase …

The basic principles and design considerations for fast extraction systems are introduced
and reviewed before examples of CERN systems are given to illustrate different techniques …
