Collimation News from LHC

“Cryo Collimators” proposed to bring LHC to ultimate luminosity: Conceptual Design Review 2-3 APR 2009 supports “continued engineering study”

The yet undesigned “Cryo Collimators” are modeled as warm 1m Tungsten adjustable jaws set at ~15 in the cold part of the ring on either side of the IR7 betatron collimation system

By protecting cold dipoles in the “dispersion suppressor” from “single diffractive protons” produced in primaries that miss all secondary collimators intensity limit in LHC improved by > x15-90

Growing belief that transverse feedback will control impedance limit to LHC intensity and that this FB is aided in the low frequency region of interest by materials such as ceramics that lower the real part of the impedance and are robust

CERN Phase II secondary design is an improved version of Phase I with “cartridge” zone for placement of jaw material.

Suggested Milestones I

• 2009 Review conceptual design, go ahead, refined WP’s.Start WP’s cryogenic collimation and hollow e-beam lens.Continue other WP’s.

• 2010 SPS: Beam test of collimator with in-jaw pick-ups (presently under construction), if we can install. Study results on in-jaw pick-up with Darmstadt/TEMF.LHC: Review beam experience with phase I collimation system.

• 2010/11 TT60: HiRadMat test facility installation.

• 2011 WP cryogenic collimation completed and hardware constructed.HiRadMat: Beam tests of advanced secondary collimators.HiRadMat: Material tests with beam shock impact.SPS: Beam tests of the hollow e-beam lens scraping.

• 2011/12 LHC: Modify SC dispersion suppressors around IR7 and IR3.LHC: Install collimators into the space created.

Suggested Milestones II

• 2012: LHC: Ready for nominal intensity.LHC: Parasitic beam tests of advanced secondary collimators.LHC: Parasitic tests of the hollow e-beam lens.Construction decision for phase II secondary collimators, decision for materials and concept (taking into account LHC beam experience, e.g. frequency of erroneous beam hits).

• 2013 LHC: Reduced beam tails and lower peak loss rate with scraping.Construction of phase II secondary collimators.

• 2013/14 LHC: Installation of advanced secondary collimators.

• 2014 LHC: Collimation with ultra-high efficiency, fast and non-destructive collimator setup and safe halo scraping.

Schedule for Discussion(ambitious and result-oriented “wish” schedule)

Year Milestone

2009 Conceptual solution presented.

Start/continuation of serious technical design work on all work packages (delays will shift all future milestones).

2010 Review of lessons with LHC beam. Technical design review.

SPS test of CERN prototype with integrated BPMs.

2011 HiRadMat test facility completed and operational.

2012 Cryogenic collimation installed and operational nominal intensity in reach.

Production decision for phase II secondary collimators.

2013 Hollow e-beam lens operational for LHC scraping.

2014 Phase II completed with installation of advanced secondary collimators Ready for nominal & ultimate intensities.

CHARGE to committee: 

•Review the conceptual solution of LHC collimation (phase II) for

nominal/ultimate beam intensities.

•Assess the urgency for phase II of LHC collimation.

Committee recommends a staged approach to the overall upgrade the

collimation system

Work Package A (Dispersion Suppressor Collimators):

Committee recommends to continue immediately with engineering design;

prefer warm solution;

Pro: seems a practicable solution (no show stoppers seen); activation in disp.

suppressor section will rise with time; heat load in cold magnets/cryo system is

fundamental problem; helps ion problems; unlikely that it will not be useful

Con: relatively large effort required; unexpected new experiences from phase 1

operation might require other improvements;

CHARGE to committee: 

•Assess if all expected collimation problems or solutions have been

adequately addressed, including needs for the experiments.

• clarify the time scale of possible performance degradation of the presently

installed graphite collimators (data from Kurchatov Inst.)

• better exploration of implications of activation in IR7 needed (may affect

installation of cryo collimators)

• study if fixed collimators in dispersion suppressor are feasible; this would

simplify technical solution

• clarify whether flexibility of beam optics in dispersion suppressor section is

compromised by planned modifications

• study advanced secondary collimator scheme with imperfections (beam

optics, collimator alignment etc.)

• understand the importance of irradiation test facility; we were not presented

with a plan detailing the experiments, diagnostics and the uniqueness of this

facility; positive experience with phase-I jaw tests is acknowledged

13

Continued:

• spikes of loss rate are potentially very important; relying only on the hollow e-

beam scraper is risky (beam core blowup; non-uniformity of hollow beam);

committee recommends to also explore alternative schemes

• integrated BPM`s are excellent idea; study impact of showers on integrated

BPM

• possibly weak point: detection of damage at primary collimators (observe

degradation of cleaning efficiency but do not know origin; temperature

measurement may not be conclusive)

• study implementation of thin scattering tip at edge of primary collimators;

increases local diffusion rate → larger impact parameter; might help collimation

of heavy ions

• HERA experience: dust falls into beam, causes extreme bursts of losses; e.g.

from vertically movable Roman pots

• experimental tests using SPS etc. are encouraged
