SPS beam parameters: HL-LHC & LIU-SPS25 ns beam Above-nominal LHC beams (with 50 ns and 25 ns spacing ) were successfully delivered to the LHC during Run1 and in 2015, but twice higher intensity (even more for brightness) is needed in future for HL-LHC *bunch length limit with present LHC 400 MHz RF

SPS cycle for LHC beam • SPS budget for losses: 10% • at start of acceleration ~5% (nominal intensities) • Transverse scraping flat top ~3% • Other losses ~2 % • SPS emittance growth budget: 10% • → Need to preserve brightness along 11 s long flat bottom e-cloud longitudinal multi-bunch instability
