Construction of TT10-SPS Injection Region Model and Following Aperture Studies

The main objective of this project was to model the injection region going from the transfer line TT10 into the SPS. This was done using MADX, and this model was then used to study the effect of various machine and beam parameters as well as upcoming or potential updates to the existing system. Scaling down the voltage on the MKP-L using the so called rebalancing factor was shown to be an issue with regards to MSI8 aperture, however adding an injection bump shifted the aperture constraint to the MKP-A but still allowed a clean injection. An additional MKP-S injection kicker was unable to be properly integrated under realistic conditions, but could be tested further, possibly in conjunction with an additional septa. The planned LSS1 dog-leg removal proved to not pose a critical problem to the acceptance of the injected beam, and the additional shield inserts required on the MKP-L for the high luminosity upgrade were also shown to not pose a issue to the vertical aperture of the beam, or to the horizontal good field region. Many other potential modifications to the machine could also tested with this model in the future.
