  Numerical tools providing detailed beam loss maps, recently developed for the design of the LHC collimation system, were adapted to the CERN Proton Synchrotron in order to reproduce the observed beam loss patterns. Using a MADX optics sequence model, these tools are able to track a large number of particles with Sixtrack and interact with a realistic aperture model to simulate particle losses all around the ring. The modeled loss maps were finally compared with beam loss measurements at several energies and for a variety of beams accelerated in the synchrotron.
