  In order to reach the target beam parameters of the LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project the beam degradation due to losses and emittance growth on the long injection plateau of the SPS needs to be minimized. A detailed study of the dependence of losses, transverse emittance blow-up and transverse beam tail creation as function of the working point is presented here for a high brightness single bunch beam with a vertical space charge tune spread of about 0.2 on the 26 GeV injection plateau. The beam behaviour close to important betatron resonances is characterised and a region in the tune diagram with minimal beam degradation is identified. Implications about the performance for LIU beams are discussed.

  Good knowledge of the non-linear properties of the SPS lattice is crucial for modelling and optimising the machine performance in the presence of collective effects leading to incoherent tune spreads such as space charge, e-cloud and beam coupling impedance. In view of the LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project and the future SPS operation in a regime dominated by such collective effects, detailed measurements of the SPS non-linear chromaticity and detuning with amplitude have been performed for the two optics configurations presently available for LHC type beams. The measurement results are used to fit systematic multipole components to the main magnets of the SPS MADX model as a basis for the non-linear machine model that can be used for beam dynamics simulations. The implications for the operation of the SPS with the LIU beam parameters are discussed.
