Damage caused by full impact of one LHC beam on solid copper has been previously studied using two-dimensional hydrodynamic computer simulations [1, 2]. In the present paper we report numerical simulations that have been done to assess the damage caused to collimator materials due to impact of full SPS beam that comprises of 288 bunches of 450 GeV/c protons. This study considers a tungsten cylindrical target which has length of 50 cm and radius of 5 cm that is facially irradiated by the beam with two different focal spot sizes determined by σ = 0.088 and 0.88 mm, respectively. These simulations have shown that the target will be completely destroyed in both cases..
