Please note that this is the preparatory lecture for your Working with a beam line in the North Area workshop. The attendance therefore is mandatory for everyone.
In this workshop you will, after a short theoretical introduction, work with a test beam in the North Experimental Area at the CERN SPS. You will learn how to steer the beam, study the effect of collimators as a function of their location in the beam optics (momentum slit and acceptance collimators) and measure the beam composition with different methods.
