Electrons which leave the cathode at the wrong time will not be accelerated to the correct energies and will not reach the beam dump at the end of the accelerator. Thy may impact the beam pipe after incorrect deflection in dipoles or after being slowed down longitudinally in the booster while the transverse momentum is not affected. In some cases their direction is reversed in the booster and they will impact the cathode. We simulated the trajectories of these electrons using the GPT tracking code. The results are qualitative, not quantitative, since the sources and numbers of the stray electrons are unknown.
