/ Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; d'Allesandro, Gian Luigi (CERN) ; Van Dijk, Maarten (CERN) ; Doble, Niels (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke Aidan (University of Oxford (GB)) ; Gatignon, Lau (Lancaster University (GB)) et al.
This document summarises the main conclusions of the Conventional Beams Working group, which has analysed the beam-related and technical requirements and requests in the proposals to the Physics Beyond Colliders study, mainly for the North Area at the CERN SPS. We present results from studies on feasibility, requirements, compatibility between proposals and, where possible, the order of magnitude of the costs. [...]

A review of the Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) user community
/ Shields, William (JAI, UK) ; Nevay, Laurence (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a Monte Carlo particle tracking simulation tool for modelling energy deposition in 3D models of particle accelerators. Initially conceived in 2001 to model the collimation system in the International Linear Collider (ILC), in recent years BDSIM has undergone a significant transformation across virtually its entire code base.

Progress & developments of BDSIM
/ Shields, William (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Nevay, Laurence (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM), is a C++ program that seamlessly models particle beam transport within an accelerator model that can encompass the beam line, the accelerator's environment, and any accompanying detectors. Based on a suite of high-energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP, and ROOT, BDSIM transforms the optical design of an accelerator into a detailed 3D model. [...]

Optics rematching between TT24 and P42 primary beam lines within the HI-ECN3 study project at CERN
/ Gorn, Aleksandr (CERN) ; Bracco, Chiara (CERN) ; Velotti, Francesco (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Nevay, Laurence (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke (Oxford U.) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN)
The High Intensity ECN3 (HI-ECN3) study project aims to increase the intensity of the proton beam delivered to a new experimental facility housed in the ECN3 underground cavern in CERN’s North Area up to the ~4e+13 ppp (protons per pulse) and up to ~4e+19 POT (protons on target) per year. The increase necessitates upgrades of the primary beam transfer lines coming from SPS directly to the new Target Complex upstream of ECN3. [...]

The East Area at the Proton Synchrotron has undergone extensive renovations, marking a significant milestone in its more than 55-year history as one of CERN’s enduring facilities for experiments, beam tests, and irradiation. This facility, which serves over 20 user teams for about 200 days annually, now boasts an enhanced infrastructure to cater to future beam test and physics requirements. [...]

Background mitigation concepts for SUPER-NaNu
/ Stummer, Florian Wolfgang (University of London (GB)) ; Andersen, Emily Marie (University of Bergen (NO)) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart Takashi (University of Manchester (GB)) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke Aidan (University of Oxford (GB)) ; Gatignon, Lau (Lancaster University (GB)) et al.
Super-NaNu is a proposed neutrino experiment as part of the SHADOWS proposal for the high intensity facility ECN3 in CERN’s North Area. It aims to detect neutrino interactions downstream of a beam-dump that is exposed to a 400 GeV/c high intensity proton beam from the SPS. [...]

Beam loss studies for the P42 beamline at the CERN SPS North Area
/ Dyks, Luke Aidan (University of Oxford (GB)) ; Ahdida, Claudia (CERN) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew Alexander (CERN) ; Gatignon, Lau (Lancaster University (GB)) ; Goillot, Alice Marie (CERN) et al.
The P42 beamline transports 400 GeV protons from the CERN SPS between the T4 and T10 targets. A secondary particle beam is produced at the T10 target and transported along the K12 beamline to the experimental cavern ECN3, presently housing the NA62 experiment. [...]

Characterisation of the optics of the TT24 and P42 beamlines in the CERN SPS North Area

400 GeV protons extracted from the CERN SPS are transported to the T4 target via the TT20 transfer line. The P42 beamline then transports the protons that did not interact in the T4 target to the T10 target. [...]

Kaon beam simulations employing conventional hadron beam concepts and the RF separation technique at the CERN M2 beamline for the future AMBER experiment
/ Metzger, Fabian (CERN ; Bonn U., HISKP) ; Gerbershagen, Alexander (Groningen, KVI) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Rae, Bastien (CERN) ; Ketzer, Bernhard (Bonn U., HISKP) ; Mussolini, Carlo Alberto (CERN ; Oxford U. ; JAI, UK) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Parozzi, Elisabetta (CERN) ; Stummer, Florian (CERN ; Royal Holloway, U. of London ; JAI, UK) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) et al.
The future AMBER experiment aims to measure the inner structure and the excitation spectra of kaons with a high intensity kaon beam at the CERN secondary beam line M2. One way to identify the small fraction of kaons in the available beam is tagging with the help of differential Cherenkov detectors (CEDARs), whose detection efficiency depends critically on the beam parallelism.
