Description
From 2006 onwards, LHC studies, CNGS and other fixed target physics
programs will
compete for beam. Besides, the timing equipment currently driving
the SPS cycling is
not compatible with PS Complex and with the future LHC cycling
flexibility.
Multicycling the SPS is a solution for both problems (together with
speeding up the
basic cycling period to 0.9s) and a firm decision must taken on this
possibility.
The talk will present the motivations for multicycling the SPS from
2006, then it
will give details on the changes to be made in the equipment
together with their
cost in money and manpower. As a conclusion, the expected benefits
for both
physicists and operation will be presented.
