Abstract

With the progress made in 2015, the beams produced by the CERN Proton Synchrotron using multiturn extraction (MTE) have been delivered to the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) for the fixed-target physics run. Operation successfully started in the second half of September 2015 and continued until the end of the proton physics program by mid November. In this paper the overall performance and beam quality is discussed in detail considering the complete chain of accelerators, from the PS-Booster to the SPS. Moreover, a thorough comparison of the global performance of the MTE scheme against the previously used technique, the so-called continuous transfer (CT), is also carried out.
