  The time constant of a crab cavity (CC) failure can be faster than the reaction time of the active protection system. In such a scenario, the beams cannot be immediately extracted, making the the protection of the machine rely on the passive protection devices. At the same time, the energy stored in the High Luminosity (HL) LHC beams will be doubled with respect to the LHC to more than 700 MJ, which increases the risk of damaging the machine and the experiments in a failure scenario. In this study we estimate the impact that different CC failures have on the collimation system. We also give a first quantitative estimate of the effect of these failures on the elements near the experiments based on FLUKA simulations, using an updated HL-LHC baseline.

A good knowledge of the effects of the crab cavities, required for the baseline High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), is needed before the results of the first tests of crab cavity prototypes in the SPS, planned for 2018, will be available. In case of crab cavity failures, we have to make sure that time scales are long enough so that the beams can be cleanly dumped before damage by beam loss occurs. We discuss our present knowledge and modeling of crab cavity induced beam losses, combined with mechanical deformation. We discuss lower limits on the time scales required for safe operation, and possible failure mitigation methods.
