چکیده

Detailed modellings of the LHC insertion regions (IR) have earlier been performed to evaluate energy deposition in the IR superconducting magnets [1-4]. Proton-proton collisions at 14 TeV in the centre of mass lead to debris, depositing energy in the IR components. To evaluate uncertainties in those simulations and gain further confidence in the tools and approaches used, inter-comparison calculations have been performed with the latest versions of the FLUKA (2006.3b) [5, 6] and MARS15 [7, 8] Monte Carlo codes. These two codes, used worldwide for multi particle interaction and transport in accelerator, detector and shielding components, have been thoroughly benchmarked by the code authors and the user community (see, for example, recent [9, 10]). In the study described below, a better than 5% agreement was obtained for energy deposition calculated with these two codes based on different independent physics models for the identical geometry and initial conditions of a simple model representing the IR5 and its first quadrupole.

Mitigating Radiation Loads in Nb3Sn Quadrupoles for LHC Upgrades

Challenging beam-induced energy deposition issues are addressed for the next generation of the LHC high-luminosity interaction regions based on Nb3Sn quadrupoles. Detailed MARS15 Monte Carlo energy deposition calculations are performed for various coil diameters, thicknesses and materials of the inner absorber at a field gradient of 200 T/m. It is shown that using the inner absorber made of tun...

Application of FLUKA code to gamma-ray attenuation, energy deposition and dose calculations

Background: In radiation therapy, water is the phantom material of choice, both for reference and for relative dosimetry measurements. Solid phantoms, however, are more useful for routine measurements because they tend to be more robust and easier to set up than water phantoms. Materials and Methods: FLUKA input data cards have been arranged in sequential order. A simple cylindrical geometry wi...

Aperture Limitations for 2 Generation Nb3sn Lhc Ir Quadrupoles1

1 Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy * [email protected] Abstract One of the straightforward ways towards the higher luminosity in the LHC is a replacement of the present 70mm NbTi quadrupoles with Nb3Sn quadrupoles which would provide the same field gradient but in a larger aperture. Conceptual designs of such magnets with 90 mm aperture have been developed and studied. This paper d...

Effect of the Beam-Beam Interactions on the Dynamic Aperture and Amplitude Growth in the LHC

The dynamic aperture at collision energy is determined primarily by the nonlinear fields of the IR quadrupoles but is also influenced by the beam-beam interactions. We revisit the choice of the crossing angle that maximizes the dynamic aperture with an accurate modeling of the long-range interactions and use of the present values of the IR quadrupole field harmonics. A separate but related issu...

Large Hadron Collider at CERN: Beams generating high-energy-density matter.

This paper presents numerical simulations that have been carried out to study the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic responses of a solid copper cylindrical target that is facially irradiated along the axis by one of the two Large Hadron Collider (LHC) 7 TeV/ c proton beams. The energy deposition by protons in solid copper has been calculated using an established particle interaction and Monte Carl...
