	Inspections carried out on jaws of the LHC collimator prototype, which underwent the 450 GeV robustness test in CERN TT40 extraction line, revealed no visible damage, except a permanent deformation of the jaw metal support of ~300 um. An explanation of this phenomenon is proposed in this paper. The temperature increase on the metal support induced by the thermal shock, though limited to ~70°C, led to a sudden expansion of the copper-based support which was partially prevented by the inertia of the material itself, thus generating compressive stresses exceeding the elastic limit of OFE-copper. An analytical assessment of the process, followed by a finite-element transient elasto-plastic analysis, is presented. Numerical results are in good agreement with measured data. In order to confirm this analysis, a special test on series production jaws, where OFE-copper has been replaced by Dispersion Strengthened Copper (Glidcop®), is scheduled for the second half of 2006.

	The LHC collimation system has been re-designed over the last three years in order to address the unprecedented challenges that are faced with the 360 MJ beams at 7 TeV. The layout of the LHC has now been fixed and a final approach for collimation and cleaning has been adopted. In total 132 collimator locations have been reserved in the two LHC rings and can be installed in a phased approach. Ninety collimators of five different types will be available for initial beam operation. The system has been fully optimized for avoiding quenches of super-conducting magnets during beam losses and for sufficient survival of beamline components against radioactive dose. The phased approach for LHC collimation is described, the various collimators and their functionalities are explained, and the expected system performance is summarized.
