Latest news on the beam dynamics design of SPL

SPL is a superconducting H− LINAC under study at CERN. The SPL is designed to accelerate the 160 MeV beam of LINAC4 to 5 GeV, and is composed of two families of 704.4 MHz elliptical cavities with geometrical betas of 0.65 and 1.0. Two families of cryo-modules are considered: the low-beta cryo-module houses 3 low-beta cavities, whereas the high-beta one houses 8 cavities. The transverse focusing is performed with normal-conducting quadrupoles arranged in 2 different lattices: FD0 at lower and F0D0 at higher energies. The regular lattices are interrupted at the transition between low beta and high beta cryo-modules and for extracting medium energy beams at 1.4 and 2.5 GeV, where the change of the transverse lattice is performed. In this paper the latest beam dynamics studies will be presented together with the sensitivity of the SPL performance to RF errors, alignment tolerances and quadrupole high order components.
