The dependence of energy loss on bunch length was determined experimentally for a single proton bunch in the SPS at 26 GeV/c. This was done from measurements of the synchronous phase as a function of intensity for different capture voltages. The results are compared with the expected dependence calculated from the resistive part of the SPS impedance below 1 GHz. Two impedance sources, the cavities of the 200 MHz RF system and the extraction kickers, give the main contributions to particle energy loss in very good agreement with experiment. The results obtained allow a better understanding of some mechanisms leading to capture loss of the high intensity LHC beam in the SPS.
