  The High-Power Proton-Synchrotron (HP-PS) will be delivering a 2 MW proton beam to a fixed target in order to produce neutrinos within the LAGUNA-LBNO project. A mechanical collimation system is essential to prevent lost particles from hitting the super-feric dipoles of the HP-PS ring and to also limit the equipment irradiation close to the beam. This paper presents how the efficiency of the HP-PS collimator system is optimised with respect to the change of the collimators’ thickness, material and beam halo size.

The prospects for future high-power proton beams for producing neutrinos at CERN within the LAGUNA-LBNO study, include the design of a 2 MW High-Power Pro- ton Synchrotron (HP-PS). In this paper, the optics design of the ring is reviewed, comprising Negative Momentum Compaction (NMC) arc cells and quadrupole triplet long straight sections, flexible enough to achieve the constraints imposed mainly by different beam transfer equipment and processes. A global tunability study is undertaken includ- ing aperture and magnet parameter considerations. Basic correction systems are specified and their impact to beam dynamics including dynamic aperture is finally evaluated.
