Abstract

Computer assisted controls at the 28 GeV PS made their entry in 1967 and today around 80% of the processes are included in various styles. Beam intensity has since increased two orders of magnitude and interleaved cycles of different beam properties are now serving SPS, ISR and the 28 GeV experimental area. This came about by substantial additions to the accelerator equipment, the main one being the Booster and Linac. Plans up to the end of 1980 include: addition of the Antiproton Accumulation Ring, acceleration of antiprotons in the CPS, the concomitant beam transfer and switching, and multibatch filling of the SPS, requiring cycles times down to 0.65 sec. The improvement programme for controls aims to alleviate the operational and maintenance problems ensuing from this explosive expansion and to create a framework for further growth.
