RF gymnastics in the PS - CERN

control set-up (timings, voltage waveform, etc.) are of an unprecedented complexity (Table 3). It tookfifty years of dedicated efforts to gain the experience and knowledge required to design and mastersuch an involved set-up. With its sets of gymnastics in regular use, the PS can reasonably be claimedto have today the most sophisticated and complex mode of RF operation ever implemented in asynchrotron.16
