  In the frame of the SPS upgrade an accurate impedance model is needed in order to predict the instability threshold and if necessary to start a campaign of impedance reduction. Analytical models, 3-D simulations and bench measurements are used to estimate the impedance contribution of the different devices along the machine. Special attention is devoted to the estimation of the impedance contribution of the kicker magnets that are suspected to be the most important impedance source in SPS. In particular a numerical study is carried out to analyze the effect of the serigraphy in the SPS extraction kicker. An important part of the devices simulations are the ferrite model. For this reason a numerical based method to measure the electromagnetic properties of the material has been developed to measure the ferrite properties. A simulation technique, in order to account for external cable is developed. The simulation results were benchmarked with analytical models and observations with beam. A numerical study was also performed to investigate the limits of the wire method for beam coupling impedance measurements.

  Independent component analysis (ICA) is a powerful blind source separation (BSS) method. Compared to the typical BSS method, principal component analysis (PCA), which is the BSS foundation of the well known model independent analysis (MIA), ICA is more robust to noise, coupling, and nonlinearity. ICA of turn-by-turn beam position data has been used to measure the transverse betatron phase and amplitude functions, dispersion function, linear coupling, sextupole strength, and nonlinear beam dynamics. We apply ICA in a new way to slices along the bunch, discuss the source signals identified as betatron motion and longitudinal beam structure, and for betatron motion, compare the results of ICA and PCA.
