RESULTS FROM THE 2009 BEAM COMMISSIONING OF THE CERN MULTI-TURN EXTRACTION

Following the analysis of the results obtained during the first year of beam commissioning of the CERN multiturn extraction, a number of changes have been introduced in the beam manipulations performed in the CERN Proton Synchrotron. This includes a different control of the linear chromaticity, the setting of the nonlinear magnets used to split the beam, and the longitudinal structure in the PS. The results obtained during the 2009 run are presented and discussed in detail, including the beam performance in both the PS and the SPS.
