Although electron energies are relatively low (< 2.6MeV), at several locations along the LEReC beamline, where the electron beam has small (about 250 um RMS radius) design size, it can potentially hit the vacuum chamber at a normal incident angle. The accelerator must be protected against such a catastrophic scenario by a dedicated machine protection system (MPS). Such an MPS shall be capable of interrupting the beam within a few tens of microseconds. In this paper we describe the current conceptual design of the LEReC MPS.
