Beam losses during ion runs in the LHC - Mostly Pb-Pb (2015) - General ion run losses are very different from protons - Pb-Pb runs also have intrinsic beam losses around the collision points ATLAS, ALICE, CMS, LHCb (IP1, IP2, IP5, IP8) Superconducting dipole magnets (MBs) BFPP losses deposit energy in several LHC superconducting dipoles Bound- Free Pair Production (BFPP) is the main contribution to fast Pb-Pb beam burn-off SATIF-13 12/10/2016 E.

Conclusions FLUKA is the standart tool at CERN for shielding design and collimator upgrades for future LHC operation at higher intensity and luminosity Complex beam line models of the insertion regions and dispersion suppressors have been implemented, covering hundreds of meters of beam line The simulations are essential to relate key quantities (peak dose/peak power inside magnet coils) to measurements (dosimeters/BLMs next to magnets) Excellent BLM signal reproduction demonstrates the reliability of the simulation models for different loss scenarios Thank you!
