MERLIN Simulations of the LHC Collimation System with 6.5 TeV Beams

The accelerator physics code MERLIN has been extended in many areas to make detailed studies of the LHC collima- tion system and calculate loss maps from beam halo losses. Large scale tracking simulations have been produced for the 2015 run configuration at 6.5 TeV. We present results of cleaning in...

Descripción
Sumario:The accelerator physics code MERLIN has been extended in many areas to make detailed studies of the LHC collima- tion system and calculate loss maps from beam halo losses. Large scale tracking simulations have been produced for the 2015 run configuration at 6.5 TeV. We present results of cleaning inefficiency simulations of the LHC's multi-stage collimation system along with a detailed comparison be- tween MERLIN, SixTrack, and measured beam losses.
