SPS performance with PS2

The upgrade of the PS to the PS2 would allow injection into the SPS at higher energy (up to 70 GeV/c). Possible advantages deriving from a higher injection energy into the SPS include the improvement of space charge at flat bottom, absence of transition crossing for all proton beams and a higher thr...

Sumario:The upgrade of the PS to the PS2 would allow injection into the SPS at higher energy (up to 70 GeV/c). Possible advantages deriving from a higher injection energy into the SPS include the improvement of space charge at flat bottom, absence of transition crossing for all proton beams and a higher threshold for the horizontal electron cloud coupled bunch instability. Transverse Mode Coupling Instability (TMCI) and vertical Electron Cloud Instability (ECI) thresholds are studied in greater detail. Their dependence on energy is defined in simulations with the HEADTAIL code and the results of this study are presented.
