The system has initially been designed for very different beam parameters compared to those which will reign after the completion of the LHC injectors upgrade, when the SPS will have to operate with unprecedented beam brightness. This paper describes the relevant operational and failure modes of the dump system together with the expected beam loading levels. Tracking studies are presented, considering both normal operation and failure scenarios, with particular attention on the location and level of proton losses. First FLUKA investigations and thermo-mechanical analysis of the high-energy absorber block are described PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 3394 EP - 3396 KW - proton KW - kicker KW - simulation KW - operation KW - optics DA - 2014/07 PY - 2014 SN - 978-3-95450-132-8 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-IPAC2014-THPME069 UR - http://jacow.org/ipac2014/papers/thpme069.pdf ER -
