The LHC upgrade, planned in about ten years from now, is envisaged to accumulate up to 3000 fb-1 integrated luminosity by running at a peak luminosity of 5 x 1034 cm-2 s−1*. In order to reach such an ambitious goal, the high luminosity insertions need a major redesign implying a 150 mm aperture low-beta Inner Triplet, a superconducting D1 and new quadrupoles in the Matching Section. Energy deposition studies show that degradation of the coil insulator represents the most challenging issue from the radiation impact point of view. We propose a suitable shielding consisting of a beam screen with several mm tungsten absorbers at mid-planes to guarantee not to exceed a few ten MGys. This will also allow a good margin with respect to the risk of radiation induced quenches.

| LHCb is aiming to upgrade its goal peak luminosity up to a value of 2 1033 cm-2 s−1 after LS2. We investigate the collision debris impact on the machine elements by extensive FLUKA simulations, showing that the present machine layout is substantially compatible with such a luminosity goal. In particular the installation of a TAS (Target Absorber ofSecondaries, installed in front of the final focus Q1-Q3 quadrupole triplet in the LHC high luminosity insertions) turns out not to be necessary on the basis of the expected peak power deposition in the Q1 superconducting coils. A warm protection may be desirable to further reduce heat load and dose on the D2 recombination dipole, due to the absence of the TAN (Target Absorber of Neutrals, present in Point 1 and 5). | ||

| Several instances of injection kicker magnet (MKI) failures have occurred in the first years of LHC operation, leading to misinjections or to accidental kicks of circulating bunches. In a few cases, MKI modules imparted a partial or an increased beam deflection, resulting in grazing bunch impact on beam-intercepting devices and consequently leading to significant secondary showers to downstream accelerator elements. In this study, we investigate different failure occurrences where miskicked bunches were incident on the injection beam stopper (TDI) and on one of the auxiliary injection collimators (TCLIB), respectively. FLUKA shower calculations were performed to quantify the energy deposition in superconducting magnets. Different sections of the LHC insertion regions 2 and 8 were studied, including the separation dipole and the inner triplet downstream of the TDI as well as matching section and dispersion suppressor adjacent to the TCLIB. The obtained results are evaluated in view of quench and damage limits. | ||
