Studies of resonances limiting the high-brightness LHC beams in the SPS / Mases Sole, Ingrid (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Asvesta, Foteini (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN)
Space charge effects in combination with betatron resonances limit the performance of high-brightness LHC beams in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Here we report on experimental studies performed with single-bunch proton beams, monitoring transverse emittance evolution and particle losses while performing tune scans across the horizontal and vertical planes.

Stripline kicker design for FCC-ee booster injection and damping ring / Martinek, Petr (CERN) ; Kramer, Thomas (CERN) ; Favia, Giorgia (CERN) ; Ruf, Johannes (CERN) ; Papastergiou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Yue, Sen (CERN)
The FCC-ee booster injection kicker, will be injecting 4 particles bunches per single kick. The bunch separation in the booster ring is 25 ns and therefore requiring a faster kicker rise and fall time to not perturb injected or already circulating bunches. [...]

Predicting losses in the SPS using longitudinal tomography during bunch shortening in the PS / Flowerdew, Jake (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Vinten, Evin (CERN)
The efficient transfer of protons from the Proton Synchrotron (PS) to the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is crucial for beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A particular challenge at the intensities required for the High-Luminosity LHC is the handover from a 40 MHz to a 200 MHz RF system. [...]

Feasibility studies for a new transfer line to a muon cooling demonstrator at CERN / Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Krzkempek, Lukasz (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Losito, Roberto (CERN)
In the context of ongoing research for a future muon collider, one of the primary challenges is the efficient production and cooling of muons. To address this, a proposal is being explored to construct a demonstrator at CERN for testing a cooling cell. [...]

New developments in the design of the muon production target area of a multi-TeV muon collider / Manczak, Jerzy (CERN) ; Portone, Alfredo (Fusion for Energy, Barcelona) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Rogers, Chris (Daresbury) ; Ahdida, Claudia (CERN) ; Schulte, Daniel (CERN) ; Calzolari, Daniele (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) et al.
As the International Muon Collider Collaboration advances the conceptual design for a multi-TeV muon collider facility, new technical constraints continue to arise in the muon production stage, where a high-power proton beam interacts with a target. Achieving the required muon bunch intensity may necessitate increasing the primary beam power up to 4 MW. [...]

New analysis tools for LHC aperture measurements / Orwat, Marta (CERN) ; Hermes, Pascal (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN)
Aperture measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are routine procedures conducted during the early stages of beam commissioning, prior to the injection of high-intensity beams. This is to ensure that the aperture, defining the clearance for the circulating beams, is protected by the LHC collimation system. [...]
