Impact of and Protection against Failures of the Lhc Injection Kickers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LHC injection systems consist of horizontally deflecting steel septum magnets and vertically deflecting kickers. A mobile beam stopper is placed downstream of the kickers for setting up with single bunches and to protect the superconducting machine elements during normal injection in the event of a malfunctioning of the kickers. The effects of various potential kicker failures and their impact on the machine have been investigated. The injection parameters, the design principles of the stopper and additional protection measures are discussed.

Aperture and Delivery Precision of the Lhc Injection System
The main LHC injection elements in interaction regions 2 and 8 comprise the injection septa (MSI), the injection kickers (MKI), together with three families of passive protection devices (TDI, TCDD and TCLI). The apertures of the two circulating beams are detailed for these elements, together with a summary of recent design modifications. The errors in the SPS, the transfer lines and the inject...
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 کاملChallenges and Plans for Injection and Beam Dump
The injection and beam dumping systems of the LHC will need to be upgraded to comply with the requirements of operation with the HL-LHC beams. The elements of the injection system concerned are the fixed and movable absorbers which protect the LHC in case of an injection kicker error and the injection kickers themselves. The beam dumping system elements under study are the absorbers which prote...

The LHC beam dump extraction kicker system consists per ring of 15 magnets and their pulse generators. Their task is to extract the beams on request, over the whole operational beam energy range and synchronously with the beam abort gap. This operation must be fail-safe to avoid damage to accelerator equipment by undesired beam losses. The control system of the LHC beam dump kickers will be bas...
