The present performance of the SPS

The CERN SPS has been delivering proton beams at 400 GeV for physics since January 1977 and currently runs with a circulating beam intensity of 2*10/sup 13/ protons per pulse and repetition time of 9.6 seconds. The author discusses the steps taken to reach this intensity, the limitations at various...

Sumario:The CERN SPS has been delivering proton beams at 400 GeV for physics since January 1977 and currently runs with a circulating beam intensity of 2*10/sup 13/ protons per pulse and repetition time of 9.6 seconds. The author discusses the steps taken to reach this intensity, the limitations at various stages in the development, and the equipment under construction to attain 3*10/sup 13/ ppp. He also reviews the performance and reliability of the SPS during its first two years of operation.
