The 4 GeV H- Beam Transfer Line from the SPL to the PS2

The proposed new CERN injector chain LINAC4, SPL, PS2 will require the construction of new beam transfer lines. A preliminary design has been performed for the 4 GeV SPL to PS2 H- transfer line. The constraints, beam parameters and geometry requirements are summarised and a possible layout proposed, together with the magnet specifications. First considerations on longitudinal beam dynamics and on beam loss limitations from H- lifetime are presented
