An important upgrade has been deployed for the collimation system of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) lead-ion beams that are already planned to reach their high-luminosity target intensity in ongoing LHC Run 3 (2022–2026). While certain effects like e-cloud, beam-beam, impedance, injection, and dump protection relaxed with ion beams, halo becomes an increasing challenge, as conventional multistage is about two orders magnitude less efficient than proton beams. Ion fragments scattered out...
The concept of crystal collimation exploits the peculiar properties crystalline materials to deflect high-energy beam particles at angles orders magnitude larger than what can be achieved with scattering by conventional used as primary collimators. This innovative technique is planned improve efficiency heavy-ion beams Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its High-Luminosity upgrade (HL-LHC). unprecedented proton-equivalent energy range up 7 TeV makes this particularly challenging due small...
In the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), bent crystals are used to efficiently deflect beam halo particles toward secondary collimators as absorbers. this crystal collimation scheme, a with length of few millimeters can produce deflection equivalent magnetic field hundreds Tesla at LHC top energies, improving cleaning performance machine. However, must be in optimal alignment respect circulating maximize efficiency channeling process. A newly developed machine learning model automatically...
