The LHC beam dumping system performed according to expectations during Run 1 of the LHC (2009 – 2013). A brief overview of the experience is given, including a summary of the observed performance in comparison to expectations. An important number of changes are applied to the beam dumping system during the present Long Shutdown on order to further improve its system safety and performance. They include the addition of a direct link between the Beam Interlock System and the re-triggering system of the dump kickers, the modification of the uninterrupted electrical power distribution architecture, the upgrade of the HV generators, the consolidation of the trigger synchronization system, the modifications to the triggering system of the power switches and the changes to the dump absorbers TCDQ.

The HL-LHC project will push the performance of the LHC injection and beam dumping systems towards new limits. This paper describes the systems affected and presents the new beam parameters for these systems. It also describes the studies to be performed to determine which sub-components of these systems need to be upgraded to fulfill the new HL-LHC requirements. The results from the preliminary upgrade studies for the injection absorbers TDI are presented.

The Injection complex VEPP-5 consist of S-band linear accelerators (270 and 420 MeV), positron convertor (at 270 MeV) and damping ring. The injection complex is in commission. Positron rate production about 6·108 positrons/pulse and conversion yield 0.14/GeV was achieved. Storage ring positron beam current is 70mA was achieved.

To avoid damage of accelerator equipment due to impacting beam, the controlled removal of the LHC beams from the collider rings towards the dump blocks must be guaranteed at all times. When a beam dump is demanded, the Beam Interlock System communicates this request to the Trigger Synchronisation and Distribution System of the LHC Beam Dumping System. Both systems were built according to high reliability standards. To further reduce the risk of incapability to dump the beams in case of correlated failures in the Trigger Synchronisation and Distribution System, a new direct link from the Beam Interlock System to the re-triggering lines of the LHC Beam Dumping System will be implemented for the start-up with beam in 2015. The link represents a diverse redundancy to the current implementation, which should neither significantly increase the risk for so-called asynchronous beam dumps nor compromise machine availability. This paper describes the implementation choices of this link. Furthermore the results of a reliability analysis to quantify its impact on LHC machine availability are presented.
