Design studies for the future High Luminosity LHC Alan Cooper Supervisors: Dr Stephen Gibson Dr Laurence Nevay

First Beam Delivery Example Extra particles were recorded where no sample planes were present. Beam pipe radius was increased to get around problem.

Beam Delivery Example Three quadrupoles (shown in red) with drift chambers in between. Built using BdSim – Beam Delivery Simulation. Produced a Python script to plot data.

Analysing Three Quadrupoles Mean - _______________ σ Min & Max - _._._._._._._._._._._

Future Goals Produce one long continuous quadrupole to model errors. Simulate electrons striking thin metal film. Compare to FLUKA LHC simulations.
