Betatron Cleaning for Heavy Ion Beams with IR7 Dispersion Suppressor Collimators

The betatron collimators in IR7 constitute the backbone of the collimation system of the LHC. A fraction of the secondary halo protons or heavy-ion fragments, scattered out of the primary collimator, is not captured by the secondary collimators but hits cold magnets in the IR7 dispersion suppressor...

description The betatron collimators in IR7 constitute the backbone of the collimation system of the LHC. A fraction of the secondary halo protons or heavy-ion fragments, scattered out of the primary collimator, is not captured by the secondary collimators but hits cold magnets in the IR7 dispersion suppressor (DS) where the dispersion starts to increase. A possible approach to reduce these losses is based on the installation of additional collimators in the DS region. In this paper, simulations of the cleaning efficiency for Pb82+ ions are used to evaluate the effect of the additional collimators. The results indicate a significant improvement of the heavyion cleaning efficiency.
