Description
In the LHC and CNGS era, the beam energy of the SPS will be largely above
damage limit. Comparing to the current SPS exploitation, fast extractions into
several channels of higher intensity and brighter beams are very challenging.
In order to optimize the operation efficiency, a “flexible” but reliable Interlock
system operating in multi-cycling mode is required. Ideas for such system, the
role of the Timing system and the software interlock are discussed. The
different inputs of the Interlock system are reviewed, and interlocks for safe
beam extraction are proposed. First experiences with the new SPS Extraction
Interlock system used this year for Ti8 extraction are reported.
