Among other parameters, it will be possible to measure the transverse emittance using both the 3 monitors and the quadrupole scan method. As the space charge effects are not negligible at this energy, classical techniques of emittance reconstruction become questionable and a different approach based on recursive beam dynamics simulations must be applied.

Summary The study of the longitudinal properties of the beam accelerated by SPL at the injection of the following accelerator is very important to optimize its performance. Therefore we connected the latest version of SPL (5 GeV) to the PS2 with a transfer line previously designed by the TE/ABT-BTP Section making it an example of how to transport the SPL beam out of the very densely built Meyrin site to a place where a following accelerator can be realized. 1. The SPL, the PS2 and the Transfer Line A study has been conducted [1] on the possibility to overcome the present injector chain limitations by replacing the present injectors Linac2, PS Booster and PS by a new linear H-accelerators, Linac4 and a Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) [2], and a 50 GeV proton synchrotron (PS2) [3] (see Figure 1).

A new injector called Linac4 is proposed to remove this limitation. Using RF cavities at 352 and 704 MHz, it will replace the present 50 MeV proton Linac2, and deliver a 160
