Collimation Upgrade Plan & Questions R. Assmann, CERN for the collimation team 14/6/2011 LHC Collimation Project Review
LHC Collimation as Staged System • LHC collimation was conceived in 2003 as a staged system. • Phase 1: • For initial beam commissioning and early years of LHC operation. • Predicted not adequate for nominal and ultimate intensity. • Designed, constructed and commissioned 2003 – 2009. • Phase 2: • Upgrade for nominal, ultimate and higher beam intensities. • Solves issues in efficiency, impedance and radiation impact. • Originally not clear what the solution would be. • By now various upgrade solutions worked out and under design. • IR upgrade: • Adaptation to changes in IR upgrades: space and losses. • Adaptation to phase space modifications (ATS, crab cavities).
Overall Collimation Upgrade Plan(as defined in 2009) • Interimcollimation system (2014 – 2016)Inefficiency: 0.002 % (p) b* ~ 1 – 2 m, 7 TeV Gain ~100 in R2E (IR7IR3) • L ≤ 5 × 1033 cm-2 s-1 • nominal ion intensity > 2 days per setup 2017 shutdown: IR(1)/2/(5)/7 DS Phase 2: integrated BPM’s, robust materials, red. impedance.

Luminosity Loss limits: collimation, (UFO’s), … D. Woll-mann, A. Rossi, G. Bellodi Triplet aperture and collimation setup accuracy R. Bruce Beam-beam, brightness & robust-ness limits A. Dalloc-chio (new materials)
Good news: • Available aperture about 50% larger than guaranteed by design (smaller orbit errors, better alignment, …). Gain here for luminosity! • Optics very well controlled (5-10% beta beat, … for b* = 1.5m). Gain here! • As expected: • Very challenging to achieve collimation & protection tolerances (only infrequent setups possible, drifts over months, …) b* limited. • Addressed by collimators with integrated beam position pickups (almost all to be equipped). Not discussed in details for this review.
Good news: • Collided successfully three times nominal brightness (head-on). Long-range beam-beam soon to be checked. Gain factor 3 here, if LR beam-beam OK as well! • Under study: • Robustness of collimators for the high achieved brightness. Simulation of realistic scenarios, tests in HiRadMat facility starting in autumn. • Development of more robust collimator materials ( EuCARD/ColMat program since 2009, report A. Dallocchio). • Not discussed in details for this review.
Good news: • Since middle of May: ~ complete experimental assessment at 3.5 TeVdone. • Reached the design 500 kW peak beam loss (protons) at primary collimators without quench of a super-conducting magnet! • Reached 80 MJ without a single quench from stored beam losses. • Transverse damper stabilizes beam at 3.5 TeV high impedance OK. • Reached 99.995% collimation efficiency with 50% smaller gaps than design (low emittance, high impedance) and due to much less impact of imperfections than predicted (better orbit, lower beta beat, …). • Minimum beam lifetime at 3.5 TeV is ~4 times better than specified.
Collimation of High Power Loss No quench of any magnet!
Ultra-High Efficiency 99.960 % worse 99.995 % MD better
Achieved Stored Energy: 80 MJ 80 kg TNT
Therefore some questions I • It runs so well: Do we really need to invest a lot of work for a better collimation efficiency in the first long LHC shutdown (2013/14)? • Do operational experience and MD measurements not prove to us sufficiently well that we can reach nominal 7 TeV luminosity in 2014/15 (with the efficiency of the present collimation system)? • Do the potential gains in b* and beam brightness (beam-beam) not provide an additional margin to increase luminosity (without pushing stored energy)? Reference p goal 2014 – 2017: L ≥ 1 × 1034cm-2 s-1at 7 TeV Could be reached with ~50% of nominal intensity?
On the Other Side • Predicted leakage mechanisms and locations are fully confirmed, both for protons and ions. • Proposed upgrade plan will gain factor ~10 in efficiency: can be used for higher stored energy and/or larger collimation gaps (relaxed tolerances and lower impedance). Lowest risk approach. • All experience relies on 3.5 TeV beam energy (higher quench margin, larger collimation gaps, lower impedance, easier operation for transverse damper, lower cross-section single-diffractive scattering, …). • All experience relies on operation with 1/2 of nominal emittance(50 ns) beam core far away from jaw surface, lower loss spikes, more room to close collimator gaps. • It is assumed that 7 TeV beam is as stable as 3.5 TeV, that quench limits and efficiency scale as predicted and that losses do not become more localized at 7 TeV.

Ions: Beam 2 Leakage from IR7 Collimation (much worse, as expected)
Therefore some questions II • Can the upgrade of the IR3 dispersion suppressors be delayed without any danger for magnet lifetime (SC magnets as halo dumps)? • Is later upgrade work feasible in dispersion suppressors (activation)? • Are we sufficiently sure about 7 TeV beam behavior to give up the improvement in collimation efficiency and/or impedance for 2014? • Is the presently predicted “proton” safety factor ~4 above nominal intensity big enough ( assumptions and energy scaling)? • Do we need an upgrade of the IR3 dispersion suppressors for reaching nominal ion luminosity? • Will a delay of the IR3 dispersion suppressors lead to unacceptable knock-on effects for other dispersion suppressor work (IR2 for ions, IR1/5 losses into dispersion suppressors, …)? • Will decision force us to work with small emittances (impact on 25 ns)?

Conclusion • Equipping the IR3 dispersion suppressors with collimators improves the performance reach for LHC and has the lowest risk for LHC performance. It was defined as a minimal plan some years ago. • There are a number of recent good news at 3.5 TeVin collimation and other LHC areas that must be taken into account: • It opens the possibility to discuss delaying the IR3 collimation upgrade in the dispersion suppressors by three years. • Some important issues were summarized and some questions put up that require attention and advice. • Subsequent talks will go into more details. • Predicting performance at 7 TeV is tricky and quite involved: loss spikes, quench limit, nuclear physics p/ions, energy deposition details, small collimation gaps, high impedance, … • Your advice is very much welcome!
Origin of Losses in Dispersion Suppressor • Effect understood and predicted as early as 2003. • Collimators in straight sections “generate” off-momentum p and ions (effectively). • Off-momentum particles pass through straight sections and are deflected by first dipoles in dispersion suppressors. • Downstream magnets act as off-momentum halo beam dump. • SC regions off-hands: Impossible to put collimators in dispersion suppressors (as in LEP). • Clear physics sources: p have single-diffractive scattering in matter, ions dissociate/fragment! • Now confirmed by experimental data (also in horizontal plane). • Loose factor ~10 with non-smooth aperture (alignment)!

Why Off-Energy Hadrons can be so Disturbing (A) Very diluted Very low risk for quench “Fixed” by relaxing BLM limits (small T) • Loss pattern cannot be compared to case of point scatterers like UFO’s or wire scanners very diluted showers. • Off energy hadrons produce a very sharp impact line. • BLM’s cannot distinguish the two cases! • Important uncertainties about BLM response and thresholds with such a concentrated loss. • Plan quench tests for this case. (A) Interaction Halo/shower (B) Concentrated losses High risk for quench Protect by tight BLM limits (medium – large T) Point scatterer (e.g. UFO) (B) Halo/shower Interaction Low energy tail after V bend

Simple Extrapolation of Losses in Dispersion Supressor of IR5 Note: Does not include significant loads from ion operation. Does not include effect of b*. Does not include steeper scaling of losses with lumi (up to factor 5 higher paper Annika Nordt). Win with monitor factor? Should be able to gain something with TCL/TCLP collimators (cannot fix problem due to zero dispersion).In the past strong concerns about dipoles with this load (K.H. Mess). Now OK? Clear conclusion: NOT AT ALL COMFORTABLE!
