facilitated by ferrite-loaded RF cavities at harmonics ℎ = 2
and ℎ = 4. The extracted proton beam is delivered along
separate transfer lines to two tungsten spallation neutron targets,
TS1 and TS2, at rates of 40 Hz and 10 Hz respectively.

Elena de la Fuente (European Organization for Nuclear Research)10/22/25, 5:20 PMWGA:Beam Dynamics in RingsContributed Oral Presentation
Beam coupling impedance is a fundamental performance limitation in high-intensity hadron rings, affecting both beam stability and the thermal load on accelerator components. As beam intensity increases, impedance-driven collective effects—such as transverse mode coupling and longitudinal coupled-bunch instabilities—become more pronounced, while beam-induced power losses can cause local...

Ingrid Mases (European Organization for Nuclear Research)10/22/25, 5:40 PMWGA:Beam Dynamics in RingsContributed Oral Presentation
High-intensity multi-bunch beams in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) experience significant coherent and incoherent tune shifts due to the transverse beam coupling impedance. Studies with LHC-type beams have been performed to optimize the working point along the extended SPS injection plateau to enhance beam performance and brightness. The initial tune correction approach focused on...
