  The SPS high energy internal dump (TIDVG) is designed to receive beam dumps from 102.2 to 450 GeV. The absorbing core is composed of 2.5m graphite, followed by 1m of aluminium, then 0.5m of copper and finally 0.3m of tungsten, all of which is surrounded by a water cooled copper jacket. An inspection during Long Shutdown 1 revealed significant beam induced damage to the Al section of the dump block. Temperature sensors were installed to monitor the new dump replacing the damaged one. This paper summarises the correlation between the temperature measured as a function of the energy deposited and the same temperatures computed in a numerical model combining FLUKA and ANSYS simulations. The goal of this study is the assessment of the thermal contact quality between the beam absorbing blocks and the copper jacket, by analysing the cooling times observed from the measurements and from the thermo-mechanical simulations. This paper presents an improved method to estimate the efficiency and long term reliability of the cooling of this type of design, with the view of optimising the performance of future dump versions.

Safety of LHC equipment including superconducting magnets depends not only on the proper functioning of the systems for machine protection, but also on the accurate adjustment of the protective devices such as collimators. In case of a failure of the extraction kicker magnets, which are part of the beam dumping system, it is important to ensure protection of the superconducting triplet magnets from missteered beam. The magnets are located to the right of Interaction Point 5 (IP5) and are protected by one set of collimators in the beam dumping insertion in IR6 and another set close to the triplet magnets. In this paper, a new method for verification of the correct collimator position with respect to the aperture is presented. It comprises the application of an extended orbit bump with identical trajectory as the beam trajectory after a deflection by the beam dump kickers. By further increasing the bump amplitude and successively moving in/out the collimators in the region of interest, the accurate positioning of the collimators can be validated. The effectiveness of the method for LHC IP5 and IP1 and both beams is discussed

CIEMAT is in charge of the design and manufacturing of the quadrupole movers with submicrometric repeatability for the XFEL. EU intersections. Prototyping of these precision devices was successful but manufacturing them in a serial production scheme (101 units) implies some changes at design, fabrication procedures and quality controls. This paper will present some of the main problems and solutions adopted to transform a prototype made at a research facility into a serial production at a conventional industrial company. Also, it describes the inspection and tests, the quality controls and reporting procedures. All the devices have been validated and recepted. This paper describes the adopted procedure and the performance of the serial units.

  The high energy beam dump in the SPS has to deal with beams from 105 to 450 GeV/c and intensities of up to 4 ×1013 protons. An inspection during the last shutdown revealed significant damage to the Al section of the dump block. This paper summarizes the results of the analysis revealing the most likely cause of the damage to the beam dump. The implications for future SPS operation will also be briefly discussed, together with the short-term solution put in place.
