Electron Lenses for particle collimation in LHC

Electron Lenses built and installed in Tevatron have proven themselves as safe and very reliable instruments which can be effectively used in hadron collider operation for a number of applications, including compensation of beam-beam effects , DC beam removal from abort gaps , as a diagnostic tool. In this presentation we – following original proposal – consider in more detail a possibility of using electron lenses with hollow electron beam for ion and proton collimation in LHC.
