Description

  • Keywords: SPS transverse stability, electron cloud, emittance growth, optics
  • Questions to be answered:
    • What has been learned from acceleration LIU-like intensity in the SPS, in particular with short bunch trains?
    • What are the operational challenges with large tune shifts?
    • Which are pros and cons of the possible optics Q20 versus 22 versus 26 (for protons and ions)?
    • What do we know about transverse stability for high intensity beams?
    • What is the transverse emittance growth as a function of bunch intensity (also for ions)?
    • How complete is the transverse impedance model?
    • Where do we stand with the removal of momentum bottlenecks?
    • Can we rely on scrubbing for post-LIU operation? To which extent?
    • What is the experience with ions in 2018?
