Is responsible for the single
particle beam dynamics studies on LEIR, PSB, PS and
SPS and studies of the optics of their transfer
lines as part of the performance optimization of the
PS-SPS Complex. That implies participation to
machine experiments and studies, follow-up of the
performance and improvements for the LHC beams and
the fixed-target physics beams with particular
emphasis on loss and radiation minimization, new
beams preparation and contribution to LEIR, PSB, PS
and SPS operation supervision;
Is in charge of the design,
coordination and implementation of a new multi-turn
extraction scheme for the PS and studies the
application of similar schemes for future upgrades
of the LHC Injectors in collaboration with TE/ABT.
Studies the beam dynamics
issues related to the operation of the PSB with
LINAC4 and in particular to the charge-exchange
injection of high intensity high brightness H- beams
(e.g. space charge effects) in collaboration with
the ICE section
Contributes to the study effort
for the upgrade of the LHC injectors (e.g. PS2, SPS
Upgrade) and to R&D activities (e.g. Neutrino
factory) in the frame of the FP7 EU Programme.
Is responsible for the
coordination of the Ions-for-LHC Project
and of the SPS Fixed Target Ion Project
