Background at the Interaction Point from the CLIC Post-Collision Line

The 1.5 TeV electron/positron CLIC beams, with a total power of 14 MW per beam, are disrupted at the interaction point (IP) due to the very strong beam-beam effect. The resulting spent beam products are transported to suitable dumps by the post-collision beam line, which generates beam losses and ca...

Sumario:The 1.5 TeV electron/positron CLIC beams, with a total power of 14 MW per beam, are disrupted at the interaction point (IP) due to the very strong beam-beam effect. The resulting spent beam products are transported to suitable dumps by the post-collision beam line, which generates beam losses and causes the production of secondary cascades towards the interaction region. In this paper the electromagnetic backgrounds at the IP are presented, which were calculated using biasing Monte Carlo techniques. Also, a first estimate is made of neutron backshine from the main beam dump.
