Simulation and optimization of beam losses during continuous transfer extraction at the CERN Proton Synchrotron

The proton beams used for the fixed target physics at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) are extracted from the Proton Synchrotron (PS) by a multiturn technique called continuous transfer (CT). During the CT extraction, large losses are observed in locations where the machine aperture should be larg...
