Synchrotron Radiation Distribution and Related Outgassing and Pressure Profiles for the HL-LHC Final Focus Magnets

The HL-LHC final focus area, from D2 to the interaction point, has been modelled based on the latest vacuum chamber geometry and orbits. The synchrotron radiation (SR) fans are computed using the Monte Carlo code SYNRAD⁺, in the dipole approximation regime. The angular and energy dependence of the reflectivity of the copper surfaces is considered, as well as the surface roughness. Once the SR distributions are computed, they are converted into outstanding profiles by using data available in literature. The test-particle Monte Carlo code Molflow+ is then used and the related pressure profiles and gas density distribution are computed. This allows an optimization of the pattern of the perforations on the tungsten-shielded beam screen proposed for this area. It is shown that the resultant gas density is below the limit dictated by the ATLAS and CMS detectors.
