Detailed Magnetic Model Simulations of the H⁻ Injection Chicane Magnets for the CERN PS Booster Upgrade, including Eddy Currents, and Influence on Beam Dynamics

The CERN PS Booster will be upgraded with an H⁻ injection system. The chicane magnets for the injection bump ramp-down in 5 ms and generate eddy currents in the inconel vacuum chamber which perturb the homogeneity of the magnetic field. The multipolar field components are extracted from 3D OPERA simulations and are included in the lattice model. The beta-beating correction is computed all along the ramp and complete tracking simulations including space-charge are performed to evaluate the impact of these perturbations and their correction.
