Lhc beam dump granite. If the change is large enough the particle is lost at either the physical or dynamic aperture also an elastic scattering at the electrons. The tbses will stand at the entry of the ti2 and ti8 tunnels. As shown in fig. Design of the lhc beam dump a.

2808 1 15 10 11 7 10 12 1 602 10 19 joules 362 mj per beam. Hl lhc the performance of this internal beam dump system has been reviewed for future operation. Beam gas lswg lhc beam parameters 11 mostly h c o from h2 co co2 ch4 h2o elastic scattered at point like coulomb field of the nucleus of the residual gas atom particle transversely deflected increasing it s betatron amplitude. Three beam dumps ted and two beam stoppers tbse will be installed in the lhc transfer lines 1.

2808 bunches 1 15 10 11 protons 7 tev each. The beam energy meter will be one of the critical elements in the chain of equipment required to dump the beam 8 since underestimating the beam energy could send the full lhc beam into one of the arcs. The nominal lhc beam contains an unprecedented stored energy of 350 mj contained in 2808 bunches with a beam sigma of the order of 0 3 mm. Total beam energy at top energy nominal beam 362 mj.

During operation each beam of the lhc contains about 2500 particle bunches each in turn containing roughly 100 billion protons. After the current long shutdown ls2 in run 3 2021 2024 it will reach 555 mj. Bracco et al scenarios for beam commissioning of the lhc collimatiom system pac07 albuquerque 2007. Abnormal beam dump actions on the lhc collimation system lhc project note 293 geneva may 2002 p4.

Weisse cern ch 1211 geneva 23 abstract the severe constraints on the beam dumping system for the proposed large hadron collider lhc arising from the beam energy 7 7 tev and intensity 5 x 1014 protons. Using a light high melting point material like graphite ensures that the beam energy is distributed throughout the block and that the block will last for the decades long life of the lhc. 1 the teds will be located at the two ends of the ti8 tunnel and at the ti2 exit only the existing tcc6 dump acting as upstream ted for ti2. The energy stored in one of these beams 320 megajoules mj is considerable the equivalent of a tgv train travelling at 150 km h.

Dierent possible upgrades of the beam dumping system have been investigated. 15 5 the lhc beam energy meter and the associated signal transmission 7. But when these beams need to be stopped such. The extremely high destructive power of such a beam imposes an external dump where the beam must be extracted completely from the lhc diluted to reduce the peak energy density and then absorbed in a.
