Clear Design Logic Used Successfully at the LHC
- 1. Establish aperture model of the full ring and normalize with nominal beam size.
- 2. Establish margins for operation (maximum orbit, injection oscillations, ...) à reduces
available aperture
- 3. Describe loss scenarios:
a) Irregular losses (injection error, dump, failures, ...) à determine loss locations around ring à design local protection collimators and their required settings b) Regular local losses (beam-gas scattering, synchrotron radiation fans, ...) à determine loss locations around ring à design local protection collimators and their required settings c) Regular global losses (diffusion processes, energy losses, ...) à will be lost at smallest overall aperture (on/off momentum) à design global collimation system (on/
- ff momentum) that safely catches those losses
d) Assign average and peak loss rates for expected loss locations (shock heating, damage, heating, deformations, cooling requirements, ..).
- 4. Design an appropriate collimation system (phase advances, azimuthal angle) that
intercepts all losses safely. Determine materials and settings.
- 5. Check impedance of the system (also trapped modes) and iterate settings if required.
