Conceptual design study of the normal conducting dipole for the CERN PS2

One option in the scenario of upgrades of the LHC accelerator complex is to replace the existing CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) by a new and larger synchrotron (PS2). Since the launch of the PS2 study project in 2003, specifications on the magnet lattice have continuously evolved. We propose here, according to the latest lattice configuration, a conceptual design for the normal-conducting and iron-dominated PS2 main dipole. The method we used to search for the optimal design is also presented.
