	Funding: This work partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) and contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. A second generation prototype rotatable collimator has been fabricated at SLAC and delivered to CERN for further vacuum, metrology, function and impedance tests. The design features two cylindrical Glidcop jaws designed to each absorb 12kW of beam in steady state and up to 60kW in transitory beam loss with no damage and minimal thermal distortion. The design is motivated by the use of a radiation resistant high Z low impedance readily available material. A vacuum rotation mechanism using the standard LHC collimation jaw positioning motor system allows each jaw to be rotated to present a new 2cm high surface to the beam if the jaw surface were to be damaged by multiple full intensity beam bunch impacts in a asynchronous beam abort. Design modifications to improve on the first generation prototype, pre-delivery functional tests performed at SLAC and post-delivery test results at CERN are presented.

MOPRO114	Particle Tracking Simulations with FLUKA for DESY FLASH and EXFEL	363

	The objective of the study is the simulation of the produced secondary radiation properties when the electron beam halo particles hit collimator walls. Using particle tracking simulation code FLUKA the European XFEL electron beam interaction with the titanium collimator and copper absorber of the undulator intersections as well as FLASH beam interaction with the tapered collimator were simulated. Absorbed dose spatial distribution in the material of the collimators was simulated for the total secondary radiation and its important photon and neutron components. Residual dose rate after irritation of the collimator material by the electron beam was calculated.

	Funding: Work supported by DFG through SFB 634 The S-DALINAC is the superconducting linear accelerator of the Institut für Kernphysik at Technische Universität Darmstadt. It delivers an electron beam with energies up to 130 MeV. In order to improve the energy spread and the energy stability of the beam for further acceleration a new scrapersystem has been developed and installed between the 10 MeV injector and the main linac. The system was designed to ensure an energy spread of dE < 10^-03. After installation several tests have taken place, the results will be presented in this work.

	In view of LHC intensity upgrades, collimator materials may become a limit to the machine performance: the high RF impedance of Carbon-Carbon composites can lead to beam instabilities, while the Tungsten alloy adopted in tertiary collimators exhibits low robustness in case of beam-induced accidents. An R&D program has been pursued to develop new materials overcoming such limitations. Molybdenum-Graphite, in addition to its outstanding thermal conductivity, can be coated with pure molybdenum, reducing collimator impedance by a factor of 10. A new secondary collimator is being designed around this novel composite. New high-melting materials are also proposed to improve the robustness of tertiary collimators. All the new collimators will be equipped with BPMs, significantly enhancing the alignment speed and the beta-star reach. This implies additional constraints of space, as well as detailed static and fatigue calculations on cables and connectors. This paper describes the mechanical design and the engineering calculations of such future collimators, focusing on the study via state-of-the-art numerical methods of interactions between the particle beams and the new materials adopted.
