N2 - The AMBER-experiment [2, 1], located in the North Experimental Area at CERN, is the successor of the NA58/COMPASS [11] experiment which ran from 2002-2022. AMBER will start its data taking in 2023. The experiment is served by the M2 beamline, employing secondary and tertiary beams produced by 400 GeV c -1 protons from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) impacting the T6 target. For the second phase of their measurements, AMBER will require high-intensity kaon beams [6, 7]. This requirement for high-intensity beams implies a need for accurate particle identification allowing tagging particles of interest that would otherwise be lost for analysis. The beam particle identification is carried out using Cherenkov (CEDAR) detectors [5], whose tagging efficiency depends critically on the beam divergence. In this paper we investigate the beam parameters required, the performance achievable with the current layout of the beamline, as well as possible improvements.
