  Accidental beam impacts on the tertiary collimators (TCTs) can lead to significant energy deposition in the triplet region and to leakage of the induced particle shower towards the experimental cavern. In this work, carried out in the context of the planned High Luminosity Upgrade of the LHC, severe impacts from asynchronous beam dumps on the horizontal tertiary collimators in cells 4 and 6 of the CMS insertion were studied, with half or a full proton bunch impacting on a collimator jaw. The choice of jaw material is shown to be of great importance, with over a factor of 10 increase in peak energy density values in the triplet coils moving from tungsten (Inermet) to molybdenum graphite jaws. Nevertheless, although the quench limit is exceeded in at least one or more triplet magnets in all the evaluated scenarios, values remain well below the damage limit. Energy spectra of particles leaking into the experimental cavern have also been estimated and are presented here.

  The High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC) foresees the baseline operation of the accelerator at a 5 times higher peak luminosity (5.0x1034cm-2s−1). The impact of collision debris on the magnets and other equipment in the triplet region and matching section of the ATLAS and CMS insertions has been evaluated by means of detailed FLUKA models implementing the latest optics and layout version. Qualitative and quantitative differences between the vertical and horizontal beam crossing schemes are highlighted. With measures in place to mitigate the effects of the interruption of the beam screen in the triplet interconnections and the Q4 aperture reduction, peak dose values in the superconducting coils remain below 30MGy in the triplet-D1 and below 12MGy in the matching section magnets for an integrated luminosity of 3000fb-1. Peak power density values are lower than 3mW/cm3 and 1mW/cm3 in the triplet and matching section respectively. Total heat loads in magnets, collimators, masks and absorbers were also estimated, along with dose and particle fluence maps relevant for Radiation to Electronics (R2E) aspects. The effect of a displacement of the interaction point is also addressed.
