Preliminary Study: Powering the Transfer Lines from SPS to LHC

After the decision to realise the transfer lines between SPS and LHC with room temperature magnets, a preliminary study of the powering scheme for these facilities has been performed. The purpose of t his note is to present the method used for this preliminary study and the results obtained. This study proved the feasibility of a room temperature solution. The results of this note were presented an d discussed in the group SL/PO responsible for the powering scheme completion. The LHC Technical Co-ordination Committee at the "Technical Review" of October 1997 [3], [4], approved these results.
