| Abstract | During Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) at CERN, the SPS Beam Dumping System (SBDS) was completely renovated and relocated to SPS Point 5. This allowed to deploy at the SPS the Beam Energy Tracking System (BETS) and the Trigger Synchronization Unit (TSU), initially designed for and operational at the LHC Beam Dumping System (LBDS). The challenge encountered in this migration was the dynamic multi-cycle operation scheme with fast ramping cycles of the SPS in comparison to the long physics periods at stable energy of the LHC. This paper describes the modification of both BETS and TSU systems as well as the automatic arming sequence put in place, including the interactions with the SPS injection, the beam revolution frequency, and the Beam Interlock System (BIS). |
