A key aspect of this upgrade is the connection of the newly built Linac4 to the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) and the related installation of a new 160 MeV H$^-$ charge exchange injection system. Increasing the PSB injection energy from 50 to 160 MeV increases the relativistic factor $\beta_\text{r} \gamma_\text{r}^2$ by a factor of two, which allows doubling the beam brightness while keeping space charge forces as before the upgrade. The new PSB charge exchange injection system was commissioned in winter 2020/2021. It comprises a graphite foil for electron stripping and a horizontal injection bump to move the circulating beam to the stripping foil.

This thesis investigates solutions for commissioning the new system and pushing its performance by efficiently relating the requested transverse beam distributions to optimised operational paintings and required hardware parameterisations.

The second part of the thesis explores novel applications of machine learning and numerical optimisation techniques to enhance the efficiency and performance of the new system. The feasibility of applying numerical optimisation algorithms for configuring the painting functions is demonstrated on the machine. The performance of different optimisation algorithms is assessed and compared offline on a data-driven surrogate model.
