Beam Losses And Machine Protection
نویسنده
چکیده
Large hadron accelerators (existing and planned) can have enough stored beam energy to have dangerous effects on the accelerator and its environment in case of uncontrolled beam losses. This report will give examples of different kinds of beam losses together with the response of the beam loss monitors (BLMs), the machine protection system (MPS) and adjacent implications. Expected and unexpected events from HERA and their impacts on the MPS will be presented and analyzed.

Requirements of Clic Beam Loss Monitoring System
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) [1] is a proposed multi-TeV linear electron-positron collider being designed by a world-wide collaboration. It is based on a novel twobeam acceleration scheme in which two beams (drive and main beam) are placed in parallel to each other and energy is transferred from the drive beam to the main one. Beam losses on either of them can have catastrophic consequenc...
متن کاملVery Fast Beam Losses at Hera, and What Has Been Done about It
During the Luminosity upgrade of HERA in 2000/2001 more than 50 new magnets were installed close to the interaction region to provide a stronger focussing of the two beams. Some of these magnets are located at very large values of the betatron function and therefore can act with a large gain on the beam. Sudden changes in the power supply currents generated very fast beam losses, creating quenc...
متن کاملApertures in the Lhc Beam Dump System and Beam Losses during Beam Abort
The LHC beam dumping system (LBDS) is used to dispose accelerated protons and ions in a wide energy range from 450 GeV up to 7 TeV. An abort gap of 3 μs is foreseen to avoid sweeping particles through the LHC ring aperture. This paper gives a brief overview of the critical apertures in the extraction region and the two beam dump lines. MAD-X tracking studies have been made to investigate the im...
متن کاملRadiation protection at synchrotron radiation facilities.
A synchrotron radiation (SR) facility typically consists of an injector, a storage ring, and SR beamlines. The latter two features are unique to SR facilities, when compared to other types of accelerator facilities. The SR facilities have the characteristics of low injection beam power, but high stored beam power. The storage ring is generally above ground with people occupying the experimental...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Beam Loss Detection System for the CLIC Test Facility 3
The CLIC test facility 3 (CTF3) provides a 3.5A, 1.6μs electron beam pulse of 150MeV at the end of the linac. The average beam power is 4 kW. Beam losses will be monitored all along the linac in order to keep the radiation level as low as possible. The heavy beam loading of the linac can lead to time transients of beam position, size and energy along the pulse. To compensate for these transient...
