Collimation with hollow electron beams is a technique for halo removal in high-power hadron beams. It was experimentally studied at the Fermilab Tevatron collider using electron lenses and it is being considered as an option to complement the collimation system for the LHC upgrades. In the ideal case, the magnetically confined electron beam has a hollow, axially symmetric current-density distribution, whose fields affect the beam halo, leaving the core of the circulating beam unperturbed. We address the effects of imperfections in the current density based upon profiles measured in the Fermilab electron lens test stand. We also study the effect of the bends used to inject and to extract the electron beam from the overlap region. The calculated field distributions will serve as inputs for tracking simulations, which are needed to estimate the effects of the electron lens imperfections on beam core dynamics, such as nonlinearities and emittance growth.
