The invention relates to an ultrasonic booster () for a sonotrode () for processing workpieces (W) with ultrasonic vibrations, having a booster body (). Longitudinal vibrations (SL) are introduced into the booster body () on a sound introduction side () having a first end side (). A conversion structure (), by means of which transverse vibrations (ST) having a vibration component in a plane (E) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) are generated from the longitudinal vibrations (SL), is located between the sound introduction side () and a coupling side () opposite the sound introduction side.
