Upgrade of the CERN SPS Extraction Protection Elements TPS
/ Borburgh, Jan (CERN) ; Balhan, Bruno (CERN) ; Barnes, Michael (CERN) ; Baud, Cedric (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Maciariello, Fausto (CERN) ; Steele, Genevieve (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN)
In 2006 the protection devices upstream of the septa in both extraction channels of the CERN SPS to the LHC were installed. Since then, new beam parameters have been proposed for the SPS beam towards the LHC in the framework of the LIU project. [...]

Slow extracted spill ripple control in the CERN SPS using adaptive Bayesian optimisation
/ Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Follin, Fabio (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Madysa, Nico (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) offers slow-extracted, high-intensity proton beams at 400 GeV/c for 3 fixed targets in the CERN North Experimental Area (NA) with a spill length of about 5 seconds. Since first commissioning in the late seventies, the NA has seen a steady increase in users, many of which requiring improved spill quality control. [...]

Impact of octupoles on the Schottky spectra of bunched beams
/ Lannoy, Christophe (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Alves, Diogo (CERN) ; Lasocha, Kacper (CERN) ; Mounet, Nicolas (CERN) ; Pieloni, Tatiana (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
Schottky monitors serve as non-invasive tools for beam diagnostics, providing insights into crucial bunch characteristics such as tune, chromaticity, bunch profile, or synchrotron frequency distribution. However, octupole magnets commonly used in circular storage rings to mitigate instabilities through the Landau damping mechanism, can significantly affect the Schottky spectrum. [...]

LHC abort gap monitor electronics upgrade
/ Pacner, Petr (CERN) ; Belohrad, David (CERN) ; Martin Nieto, Miguel (CERN) ; Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) ; Bart Pedersen, Stephane (CERN)
The LHC Abort Gap Monitor (AGM) is part of the LHC machine protection system (MPS) and is designed to measure the particle population in a 3µs wide region known as the "abort gap." This region needs to be kept empty to ensure safe beam dumps. The AGM captures the synchrotron light generated in the visible part of the spectra and converts it into an electric signal. [...]

Channeling performance of bent crystals developed at CERN
/ Rodin, Volodymyr (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Demassieux, Quentin (CERN) ; Matheson, Eloise (CERN) ; Solis Paiva, Santiago (CERN) ; Seidenbinder, Regis (CERN) ; Aberle, Oliver (CERN) ; Perillo Marcone, Antonio (CERN) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) et al.
Bent crystals are a mature technology used in several applications at CERN, such as the crystal-assisted collimation system for LHC ion operation and reduction of losses during the slow extraction from the SPS by shadowing the electrostatic septum. In the future, it is planned to measure electric and magnetic dipole moments of short-lived particles with a double-crystal experiment in the LHC. [...]

Intensity reach of the barrier-bucket multi-turn transfer for fixed-target proton beam from PS to SPS
/ Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Huschauer, Alexander (CERN) ; Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Cuvelier, Matis (CERN ; U. Paris-Saclay) ; Vadai, Mihaly (CERN) ; Prebibaj, Tirsi (CERN)
Fixed target beams are extracted in five turns from the Proton Synchrotron (PS) at CERN to fill almost half the circumference of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with each transfer. To avoid beam loss during the risetime of the extraction kickers a longitudinal gap is generated with an RF barrier-bucket scheme. [...]

Beam optics modelling of slow-extracted very high-energy heavy ions from the CERN Proton Synchrotron for radiation effects testing

Testing of space-bound microelectronics plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of electronics exposed to the challenging radiation environment of outer space. This contribution describes the beam optics studies carried out for the run held in November 2023 in the context of the CERN High-Energy Accelerators for Radiation Testing and Shielding (HEARTS) experiment.

Improvements of the SPS slow extraction electrostatic septum
/ Lackner, Friedrich (CERN) ; Prost, Antoine (CERN) ; Balhan, Bruno (CERN) ; Pirozzi, Fabrizio (CERN) ; Vincke, Helmut (CERN) ; Borburgh, Jan (CERN) ; Kawa, Krzysztof (CERN ; AGH-UST, Cracow) ; Jorat, Louise Olivia (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Roudaut, Noah (CERN ; UTBM, Belfort)
The impact of high-flux protons on the inherent beam loss in the slow extraction straight from SPS towards the North Area has been recently discussed and potential improvements have been proposed. These solutions are mainly aiming to reduce the high component activation and related reduction of lifetime, as well as observed non-straightness in the anode body. [...]
