The power deposited in dispersion suppressor magnets downstream of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) betatron cleaning insertion is governed by off-momentum particles scattered out of the primary collimators. In order to mitigate the risk of magnet quenches during periods of short beam lifetime in future High-Luminosity (HL-LHC) operation, new dispersion suppressor (DS) collimators are considered for installation (one per beam). In this paper, we present FLUKA simulations for both protons and Pb ions at 7 TeV, predicting the power deposition in the DS magnets, including the new higher-field dipoles 11T which are needed to integrate the collimator in the cold region next to the cleaning insertion. The simulated power deposition levels for the adopted HL-LHC collimator configuration and settings are used to assess the quench margin by comparison with the present estimated quench levels.

After the High Luminosity (HL-LHC) upgrade, the LHC will be exposed to a higher risk of magnet quenches during periods of short beam lifetime. Collimators in the extraction region (IR6) assure the protection of magnets against asynchronous beam dumps, but they also intercept a fraction of the beam halo leaking from the betatron cleaning insertion. In this paper, we assess the risk of quenching nearby quadrupoles during beam lifetime drops. In particular, we present an empirical analysis of halo losses in IR6 using LHC Run 2 (2015-2018) beam loss monitor measurements. Based on these results, the halo-induced power density in magnet coils expected in HL-LHC is estimated using FLUKA Monte Carlo shower simulations.

MOPAB006 Optics Configurations for Improved Machine Impedance and Cleaning Performance of a Multi-Stage Collimation Insertion optics, impedance, collider, scattering 57

  For a two-stage collimation system, the betatron phase advance between the primary and secondary stages is usually set to maximise the absorption of secondary particles outscattered from the primary. Another constraint is the contribution to the ring impedance of the collimation system, which can be decreased through an optimized insertion optics, featuring large values of the beta functions. In this article we report on first studies of such an optics for the CERN LHC. In addition to a gain in impedance, we show that the cleaning efficiency can be improved thanks to the large beta functions, even though the phase advance is not set at the theoretical optimum.

  Gas jet based profile monitors inject a usually curtain shaped gas jet across a charged particle beam and exploit the results of the minimally invasive beam-gas interaction to provide information about the beam’s transversal profile. Such monitor will be installed as part of the High Luminosity LHC upgrade at CERN in the Hollow Electron Lens (HEL). The HEL represents a new collimation stage increasing the diffusion rate of halo particles by placing a high intensity hollow electron beam concentrically around the LHC beam. The gas jet monitor will use the fluorescence radiation resulting due to the beam-gas interaction to create an image of the profiles of both hollow electron and LHC beams However, the high beam space-charge and strong guiding magnetic field of the electron beam cause significant displacements of the excited molecules, as they are also ionized, and thus image distortions. This work presents preliminary simulation results showing expected fluorescence images of the hollow electron profile as affected by space-charge and guiding fields using simulation tools such as IPMsim. The influence of the estimated electron beam and gas jet curtain parameters are investigated.

In order to meet the requirements of daily maintenance of CSNS/RCS, the transverse collimation system was designed to concentrate the uncontrollable beam loss in this region. Based on physical parameters, considering the processing technology, the area was rationally arranged; combined with the requirements of physical and radiation protection, under the premise of meeting the use requirements, fully consider the limit switch, mechanical hard limit and other components, increasing the output control signals of rotary encoder and displacement sensor, the movement of the absorbers were monitored. At present, the beam collimation system has been running with no mechanical failure for two years on CSNS, and it plays an active role in beam power boost and beam loss control, which proves that the structural design of the system is reasonable.

  The concept of crystal collimation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on the use of bent crystals that can deflect halo particles by a much larger angle than the standard multi-stage collimation system. Following an extensive campaign of studies and performance validations, a number of crystal collimation tests with Pb ion beams were performed in 2018 at energies up to 6.37 Z TeV. This paper describes the procedure and outcomes of these tests, the most important of which being the demonstration of the capability of crystal collimation to improve the cleaning efficiency of the machine. These results led to the inclusion of crystal collimation into the LHC baseline for operation with ion beams in Run 3 as well as for the HL-LHC era. A first set of operational settings was defined.

  Crystal collimation is studied as a possible scheme to further improve the efficiency of ion collimation at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), as well as for possible applications in the CERN program of Physics Beyond Colliders. This concept relies on the use of bent crystals that can deflect high-energy halo particles at large angles, of the order of tens of urad. In order to reproduce key experimental results of crystal collimation tests and predict the performance of this system when applied to present and future machines, a dedicated simulation routine was developed. This routine is capable of modeling both coherent and incoherent interactions of beam particles with crystal collimators, and is fully integrated into the magnetic tracking and collimator modeling provided by the single-particle tracking code SixTrack. This paper describes the implementation of the routine in the latest version of SixTrack and its most recent improvements, in particular regarding the treatment of the crystal miscut angle.

  Super magnet dipoles employed to steer high energy particle beams are massive instruments requiring cryogenic cooling and featuring large energy consumption. A bent crystal has the potential in a few millimeters to deflect 100-1000 GeV particle beams as much as an hundreds-tesla magnetic dipole. Indeed, within the lattice of a crystal, large electric fields up to several GeV/cm are present. Positive charged particles can be efficiently channeled between two adjacent lattice planes, thus following their curvature. These features and the possibility to selectively affect only the portion of the beam intercepting the crystal led to the proposal of exploiting bent crystals for several purposes, such as the collimation of ions at LHC. In this scheme, the particles on the beam halo instead of being scattered by tens-centimeters long collimators are directly separated from the beam using a 4 mm long silicon crystal. The production of a bent crystal suitable for installation in the LHC beamline requires strict control over lattice features and bending apparatus. The results obtained by the years long research of the INFN research team in Ferrara are presented in this work.

The new PIP-II superconducting linac will deliver a 2 mA average H- beam to the existing Booster synchrotron. The injected beam is accumulated by charge exchange over approximately 300 turns; phase space painting is used to mitigate space charge effects. To limit the power load on the internal waste beam absorber from the transverse tails of the H distribution missing the foil, the beam will be collimated in both planes in the linac to Booster transfer line using compact collimators of a novel design. Both the number of parasitic hits and the fraction of the beam missing the foil are sensitive functions of the H beam centroid position with respect to the edge of the foil. The positioning of the collimation is constrained by the availability of suitable space in the transfer line lattice, by specifics of the collimator design, by the phase space orientation at the collimator, and by the betatron phase advance to the foil needed to achieve proper orientation of the spatial distribution at the injection point. In this contribution, we describe the procedure by which collimator positions were optimized. We then discuss the expected performance of the overall system.

The ESSnuSB, a neutrino facility based on the European Spallation Source, aims at measuring, with precision, the charge-parity (CP) violating lepton phase at the 2nd oscillation maximum. The ESS linac will have to be upgraded to provide an additional 5 MW beam for the ESSnuSB to produce an unprecedented high-intensity neutrino beam. An accumulator ring is employed to compress the 2.86 ms long pulse from the linac to around 1.5 µs in order to satisfy the target requirements and improve the physics performance. In the operation of a high-intensity proton accumulator, the most important issue is to minimize the uncontrolled beam loss to reduce component activation to make hands-on maintenance possible. For this purpose, a two-stage collimation system is designed, which consists of a thin scraper to scatter halo particles and secondary collimators to absorb those scattered particles. Phase advances between scraper and secondary collimators, together with the material, the thickness of collimators, have been detailed studied and numerical simulations have been performed to evaluate the performance of the collimation system. This paper presents the design of the collimation system.

  The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project will upgrade the LHC machine to allow operation with increased luminosity for the experiments. In order to achieve this goal, different operational parameters of the machine need to be pushed beyond the present design values, including the stored beam energy. One of the main challenges related to the achievement of the upgraded performance is the beam collimation system and its contribution to the overall machine impedance budget. In this perspective, new low impedance collimators have been designed, fabricated, and installed in the LHC. In this study, we will present their detailed electromagnetic (EM) characterization by means of radio frequency (RF) measurements and EM simulations.

Safety critical systems like the collimators of the Large Hadron Collider require transducers which are immune to interference from their surroundings. The ironless inductive position sensor is used to measure the position of collimator jaws with respect to the beam and is designed to be immune to external DC or slowly changing magnetic fields. In this paper we investigate whether frequency separation is required when multiple ironless inductive position sensors are used and whether two or more sensors at the same frequency results in cross-talk. Numerical simulations and experiments are conducted to study the magnetic field behaviour of the sensors, their interference with each other and the impact of this interference on the position reading. Finally, this paper defines guidelines on safe operation of the ironless inductive position sensor in the aforementioned conditions.
