Summary:

An upgrade is in progress to the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR) to allow direct injection of the H{sup −} beam into the ring and provide a beam bump system to move the circulating beam off the stripper foil. The primary benefits of this upgrade are matching the transverse phase space of the injected beam to the PSR acceptance and reduction of foil hits by the circulating beam by a factor of ten. Foil thickness is optimized to minimize the combination of circulating-beam losses plus losses due to excited H° states produced at injection. An overall factor of five reduction in losses is expected. The project comprises extensive modifications of the injection line, the injection section of the ring, and the waste-beam transport line. The authors will discuss the goals of the project, present an overview of the technical design, and describe the status of the implementation plan.
