TUPMR047 | Conceptual Design Considerations for the 50 TeV FCC Beam Dump Insertion | extraction, kicker, septum, optics | 1356 |
|
|||
Safely extracting and absorbing the 50 TeV proton beams of the FCC-hh collider will be a major challenge. Two extended straight sections (ESS) are dedicated to beam dumping system and collimation. The beam dumping system will fast-extract the beam and transport it to an external absorber, while the collimation system will protect the superconducting accelerator components installed further downstream. The high stored beam energy of about 8.5 GJ per beam means that machine protection considerations will severely constrain the functional design of the ESS and the beam dump line geometry, in addition to dominating the performance specifications of the main sub-systems like kickers and absorber blocks. The general features, including concept choice, optics in the ESS and beam dump line, passive protection devices, layout and integration are described and discussed. | |||

TUPMR054 | Simulation of the FCC-hh Collimation System | betatron, proton, insertion, simulation | 1381 |
|
|||
Funding: Funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant No 654305. Funding also from ANR-11-IDEX-0003-02. The proposed CERN FCC-hh proton-proton collider will operate at unprecedented per-particle (50 TeV) and total stored beam energies (8.4 GJ). These high energies create the requirement for an efficient collimation system in order to protect the accelerator components and experiments. In order to verify the performance of proposed collimation system designs, loss map simulations have been performed using the code Merlin. Results for the current baseline layout are presented for both betatron and off-momentum loss maps. |

TUPMW025 | Machine Protection from Fast Crab Cavity Failures in the High Luminosity LHC | cavity, proton, simulation, luminosity | 1485 |
|
|||
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. | |||

TUPMY023 | Advanced Gabor Lens Lattice for Laser Driven Hadron Therapy and Other Applications | lattice, laser, ion, cavity | 1595 |
|
|||
Funding: Funding was provided by the Imperial Confidence in Concept scheme. The application of laser accelerated ion beams in hadron therapy requires a beam optics with unique features. Due to the spectral and spatial distribution of laser accelerated protons a compact ion optical system with therapy applications, based on Gabor space charge lenses for collecting, focusing and energy filtering the laser produced proton beam, has significant advantages compared with other setups. While a passive momentum selection could improve already the usability of laser driven hadron, we show that an advanced lattice utilizing additional RF cavities not only will deliver a momentum spread smaller than conventional accelerators, but also will increases the dose delivered. Furthermore, a possible near term application in the field of radio nuclide production is presented. |

TUPOW042 | Expected Gamma Spectra at ELI-NP-GBS | photon, laser, polarization, electron | 1854 |
|
|||
The ELI-NP-GBS is an advanced source of up to 20 MeV Gamma Rays based on Compton back-scattering. We present the investigation of the production of the ELI-NP gamma photon beam generated by Compton back-scattering between the electron bunch accelerated in the linac and the laser pulse. At the interaction point (IP), the Compton backscattering properties, as spectral flux, brilliance and polarization are evaluated by the Klein-Nishina cross section. The gamma beam produced has energy ranging from 0.2 to 19.5 MeV and bandwidth of 0.5%. In order to define the optimal layout and evaluate the performances of the collimation and detection systems, a detailed Monte Carlo simulation activity has been carried out taking into account possible jitters and errors. | |||

WEPMW006 | First Design of a Proton Collimation System for 50 TeV FCC-hh | insertion, betatron, collider, proton | 2423 |
|
|||
We present studies aimed at defining a first conceptual solution for a collimation system for the hadron-hadron option for the Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh). The baseline collimation layout is based on the scaling of the present LHC collimation system to the FCC-hh energy. It currently includes a dedicated betatron cleaning insertion as well as collimators in the experimental insertions to protect the inner triplets. An aperture model for the FCC-hh is defined and the geometrical acceptance is calculated at top energy taking into account mechanical and optics imperfections. Based on these studies the collimator settings needed to protect the machine are defined. The performance of the collimation system is then assessed with particle tracking simulation tools assuming a perfect machine. | |||

WEPMW007 | Validation of Off-momentum Cleaning Performance of the LHC Collimation System | proton, beam-losses, injection, alignment | 2427 |
|
|||
The LHC collimation system is designed to provide effective cleaning against losses coming from off-momentum particles, either due to un-captured beam or to an unexpected RF frequency change. For this reason the LHC is equipped with a hierarchy of collimators in IR3: primary, secondary and absorber collimators. After every collimator alignment or change of machine configuration the off-momentum cleaning efficiency is validated with loss maps at low intensity. We describe here the improved technique used in 2015 to generate such loss maps without completely dumping the beam into the collimators. The achieved performance of the collimation system for momentum cleaning is reviewed. | |||

WEPMW028 | First Attempts at using Active Halo Control at the LHC | emittance, simulation, controls, electron | 2486 |
|
|||
Funding: Research supported by the High Luminosity LHC project. The beam halo population is a non-negligible factor for the performance of the LHC collimation system and the machine protection. In particular this could become crucial for aiming at stored beam energies of 700 MJ in the High Luminosity (HL-LHC) project, in order to avoid beam dumps caused by orbit jitter and to ensure safety during a crab cavity failure. Therefore several techniques to safely deplete the halo, i.e. active halo control, are under development. In a first attempt a novel way for safe halo depletion was tested with particle narrow-band excitation employing the LHC Transverse Damper (ADT). At an energy of 450 GeV a bunch selective beam tail scraping without affecting the core distribution was attempted. This paper presents the first measurement results, as well as a simple simulation to model the underlying dynamics. |

WEPMW029 | Simulation of Heavy-Ion Beam Losses with the SixTrack-FLUKA Active Coupling | ion, heavy-ion, simulation, coupling | 2490 |
|
|||
Funding: Work suppported by the Wolfgang Gentner Programme of the German BMBF The LHC heavy-ion program aims to further increase the stored ion beam energy, putting high demands on the LHC collimation system. Accurate simulations of the ion collimation efficiency are crucial to validate the feasibility of new proposed configurations and beam parameters. In this paper we present a generalized framework of the SixTrack-FLUKA coupling to simulate the fragmentation of heavy-ions in the collimators and their motion in the LHC lattice. We compare heavy-ion loss maps simulated on the basis of this framework with the loss distributions measured during heavy-ion operation in 2011 and 2015. |

WEPMW030 | Cleaning Performance of the Collimation System of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider | ion, insertion, luminosity, simulation | 2494 |
|
|||
Different upgrades of the LHC will be carried out in the framework of the High Luminosity project (HL-LHC), where the total stored energy in the machine will increase up to about 700 MJ. This unprecedented stored energy poses serious challenges for the collimation system, which was designed to handle safely up to about 360 MJ. In this paper the baseline collimation layout for HL-LHC is described, with main focus on upgrades related to the cleaning of halo and physics debris, and its expected performance is discussed. The main upgrade items include the presence of new collimators in the dispersion suppressor of the betatron cleaning insertion installed between two 11 T dipoles, and two additional collimators for an improved local protection of triplet magnets. Thus, optimized settings for the entire and upgraded collimation chain were conceived and are shown here together with the resulting cleaning performance. Moreover, the cleaning performance taking into account crab cavities it is also discussed. | |||

WEPMW031 | Towards Optimum Material Choices for the HL-LHC Collimator Upgrade | impedance, beam-losses, luminosity, simulation | 2498 |
|
|||
The first years of operation at the LHC showed that collimator material-related concerns might limit the performance. In addition, the HL-LHC upgrade will bring the accelerator beyond the nominal performance through more intense and brighter proton beams. A new generation of collimators based on advanced materials is needed to match present and new requirements. After several years of R&D on collimator materials, studying the behaviour of novel composites with properties that address different limitations of the present collimation system, solutions have been found to fulfil various upgrade challenges. This paper describes the proposed staged approach to deploy new materials in the upgraded HL-LHC collimation system. Beam tests at the CERN HiRadMat facility were also performed to benchmark simulation methods and constitutive material models. | |||

WEPMW033 | Validation of Simulation Tools for Fast Beam Failure Studies in the LHC | simulation, optics, proton, beam-losses | 2506 |
|
|||
The LHC collimation system protects passively the most sensitive machine equipment against beam losses. In particular, collimators are the last line of defense in case of single-turn failures that cannot be caught by the standard interlock system. The collimator settings are conceived to protect the machine even for very rare events, like beam abort failures with a full machine. Collimator settings are established in simulations through a dedicated tracking setup but also empirically validated by beam measurements at low intensities. A benchmark of simulations is essential for reliably estimating the response of the system for future machine configurations and beam parameters. In the paper, results are presented of tracking simulations for different optics deployed in the LHC Run II at 6.5 TeV and compared with data. | |||

WEPMW034 | First Operational Experience with Embedded Collimator BPMs in the LHC | alignment, embedded, pick-up, interlocks | 2510 |
|
|||
During Long Shutdown 1, 18 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collimators were replaced with a new design, in which beam position monitor (BPM) pick-up buttons are embedded in the collimator jaws. The BPMs provide a direct measurement of the beam orbit at the collimators, and therefore can be used to align the collimators more quickly than using the standard technique which relies on feedback from beam losses. Online orbit measurements also mean that margins in the collimation hierarchy placed specifically to cater for unknown orbit drifts can be reduced, therefore increasing the beta-star and luminosity reach of the LHC. In this paper, the first operational results are presented, including a comparison with the standard alignment technique and a fill-to-fill analysis of the measured orbit in different machine modes in the first year of running after the shutdown. | |||

The challenges of the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider require improving the beam collimation system. An intense R&D program has started at CERN to explore novel materials for new collimator jaws to improve robustness and reduce impedance. Particle tracking simulations of collimation efficiency are performed using the code MERLIN which has been extended to include new materials based on composites. After presenting two different implementations of composite materials tested in MERLIN, we present simulation studies with the aim of studying the effect of the advanced collimators on the LHC beam cleaning. | |||

Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program that uses a suite of high energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP & ROOT, that seamlessly tracks particles through accelerators and detectors utilising the full range of particles and physics processes from Geant4. A comparison of the collimator cleaning efficiency and energy deposition throughout the full length of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the established SixTrack simulations of the CERN collimation group is presented. The propagation of the full hadronic showers from collimators provides unparalleled detail in energy deposition maps and these are compared with the data from beam loss monitors that measure radiation outside the magnet body. | |||

Funding: DOE contract \#DE-AC02-76SF00515 The planned LCLS-II FEL has an average beam power of up to 1.2 MW and a repetition rate of up to 1 MHz, both of which entail serious challenges for beam halo collimation. This paper summarizes the efforts to assess the proposed collimation system. The undulator section is specifically focused on due to its high loss sensitivity (maximal 12 mW). This proceedings concentrate on field emissions of the gun. Different dark current distribution, linac configurations and simulation programs were used to increase assurance of the results. Filled phase-space tracking further supplemented an independent prove of the collimation system effectiveness and expands to include beam-halo originating from different sources than the gun. |
