| Abstract | The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment aims at acquiring a total of 4 $\times$ 10$^{19}$ protons on target (PoT) per year. Based on demonstrated Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) performance for CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso (CNGS), the 2018 SPS performance and recent high-intensity test results, the expected proton sharing between the TCC2 targets and SHiP is estimated. AWAKE and HiRadMat are taken into account in the future supercycle composition while the maximum possible power dissipation is respected. Limitations from activation of the SPS extraction channel are also addressed. Furthermore, future operational scenarios with long spills to the TCC2 targets are discussed. |
