Aperture and Beam Loss during Extraction from the SPS and Injection into the CNGS Beam Line

Possible losses in the CNGS proton beam line have been studied for 5B the latest configurations of the beam line and extraction setup. In particular a modified extraction point and the proposed correction were included in the simulation. A detailed study of the effect of the finite rise and fall time of the extraction kicker was performed. We have scanned a large parameter set and derived recommendations for the commissioning procedure, in particular we give the expected loss locations, tolerances on the necessary trajectory correction, performance of the beam position measurement system and beam steering.
