Sumario:A Machine Development study session was held on December 6th, 2011 to test BLM quench thresholds in the IR7 dispersion suppressor (DS) for lead ion operation in the LHC at 3.5 Z TeV. High loss rates were artificially produced in the machine to allow full qualification of ion leakage with as realistic as possible loss distributions. Any potential collimation-related intensity limit imposed by a magnet quench was explored in parallel, to provide input for potential future collimation upgrade scenarios.
