Beam Losses far downstream of the High Luminosity Interaction Points of LHC

We consider proton-proton collisions in LHC in which one proton at least leaves the collision point with a small longitudinal momentum transfer. The rate of these events at the nominal luminosity of LHC can induce quenches in some superconducting magnets of the downstream part of the straight-sectio...

Sumario:We consider proton-proton collisions in LHC in which one proton at least leaves the collision point with a small longitudinal momentum transfer. The rate of these events at the nominal luminosity of LHC can induce quenches in some superconducting magnets of the downstream part of the straight-section and of the dispersion suppressor. We propose a safe local collimation scheme and present the residual impact on the cryogenic load.
