  Abstract:
Linac4, the future 160 MeV H-injector to the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster, is presently under construction at CERN as a central step of the planned upgrade of the LHC injectors. The Linac front-end, composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) housing a beam chopper, has been installed and commissioned. Precise measurements of the longitudinal micro bunch profiles of ion beams were possible with the help of a Bunch Shape Monitor (BSM) developed at INR Moscow. These were crucial for the successful commissioning of the three RF buncher cavities mounted along the MEBT and well complemented with higher precision the information provided in parallel by spectrometer measurements
