  CERN civil engineers are heavily involved in studying several major projects to succeed/complement the LHC. Infrastructure works typically represent one third of the cost of major physics projects, so it's critical that the construction costs are well understood from the conceptual stage. For example, CERN are studying infrastructure requirements for the Linear Collider (CLIC & ILC) and the LHeC projects. This poster presents some of the key civil engineering challenges faced in such large scale projects.  
 
TUPS025 Design of a Highly Optimised Vacuum Chamber Support for the LHCb Experiment radiation, vacuum, background, collider 1581

  The beam vacuum chamber in the LHCb experimental area passes through the centre of a large aperture dipole magnet. The vacuum chamber and all its support systems lie in the acceptance of the detector, so must be highly optimised for transparency to particles. As part of the upgrade programme for the LHCb vacuum system, the support system has been re-designed using advanced lightweight materials. In this paper we discuss the physics motivation for the modifications, the criteria for the selection of materials and tests performed to qualify them for the particular environment of a particle physics experiment. We also present the design of the re-optimised support system.

Recently acquired turn-by-turn data of the LHC is analyzed using the action and phase jump technique. The results of this analysis show a visible variation of the action and phase plots at the interaction regions from which optic error estimations can be done. In this paper error estimations will be presented and comparisons with other existing techniques in the LHC, such as the recently implemented Segment-by-segment technique, will be discussed.

  The Belle experiment is now being upgraded to the Belle II experiment designed for a 40 times higher luminosity. Such a high luminosity is realized by the SuperKEKB collider where beam-induced background rates are expected to be much higher than those of KEKB. This poses a serious challenge for the design of the machine-detector interface. We have thus carried out a GEANT4-based beam background simulation for Touschek effect. We describe the method of generating background particles and present the result of simulation.

  The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) aims at bringing hadron-lepton collisions to CERN with center of mass energies in the TeV scale. The LHeC will utilize the existing LHC storage ring with the addition of a 60 GeV electron accelerator. The electron beam will be stored and accelerated in either a storage ring in the LHC tunnel (Ring-Ring) or a linac tangent to the LHC tunnel (Linac-Ring). Synchrotron Radiation (SR) in the Interaction Region (IR) of this machine requires an iterative design process in which luminosity is optimized while the SR is minimized. This process also requires attention to be given to the detector as the beam pipe must be designed such that damaging effects, such as out-gasing, are minimized while the tracking remains close to the IP. The machinery of GEANT4 has been used to simulate the SR load in the IR and also to design absorbers/masks to shield SR from backscattering into the detector or propagating with the electron beam. The outcome of these simulations, as well as cross checks, are described in the accompanying poster which characterizes the current status of the IR design for both the Ring-Ring and Linac-Ring options of the LHeC in terms of SR.  
 
THPZ017 Achromatic Low-beta Interaction Region Design for an Electron-ion Collider electron, ion, sextupole, betatron 3723

An achromatic Interaction Region (IR) design concept is presented with an emphasis on its application at an electron-ion collider. A specially-designed symmetric Chromaticity Compensation Block (CCB) induces an angle spread in the passing beam such that it cancels the chromatic kick of the final focusing quadrupoles. Two such CCB’s placed symmetrically around an interaction point (IP) allow simultaneous compensation of the 1st-order chromaticities and chromatic beam smear at the IP without inducing significant 2nd-order aberrations. Special attention is paid to the difference in the electron and ion IR design requirements. We discuss geometric matching of the electron and ion IR footprints. We investigate limitations on the momentum acceptance in this IR design.

Interaction region design of the future electron ion collider at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (eRHIC) is presented. Polarized protons/Helium and heavy ions will collider with 5-30 GeV polarized electrons with a 10 mrad angle by using the crab cavity crossing. The interaction region is designed without bending electrons to avoid problems with synchrotron radiation. Use of the combined function magnet in the ion side allows detection of neutrons. Design allows detection of deep virtual scattering as well as detection of partons with lower energies (po/2.5). The betatron function at collisions is 5 cm assuming use of three dimensional electron beam cooling. Special chromaticity correction is applied in both sides of the ion straight section interaction region. Electrons arrive with avoiding completely synchrotron radiation at the detector. Special superconducting combined function magnet is designed to allow passage of electrons through the field free region.
