Abstract :
Numerical tools providing detailed beam loss maps, recently developed for the design of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collimation system, were adapted to low energy synchrotrons. 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. Finally the comparison between the dedicated simulations and measured proton loss pattern at the CERN PS showed good agreement between them.
