IR2 Aperture Measurements at 4.0 TeV

The aperture of the IR2 triplets was measured to determine if there is enough margin for Beta* = 0:8m operation in heavy ion runs. Squeezed proton beams with = 0:8m were used with special bumps in addition to the nominal crossing and separation bumps, in order to determine the vertical and horizont...

Sumario:The aperture of the IR2 triplets was measured to determine if there is enough margin for Beta* = 0:8m operation in heavy ion runs. Squeezed proton beams with = 0:8m were used with special bumps in addition to the nominal crossing and separation bumps, in order to determine the vertical and horizontal aperture in the triplet magnets. This note describes the strategy for the aperture measurements and the analysis of the collected data.
