I. Introduction Studies on beam-matter interaction are essential for machine protection Numerical simulations have been performed especially for the SPS, the LHC, and FCC (40TeV), but the beam parameters (energy & size) studied are still limited We intend to make an integral study (database) that covers all typical beam energies and beam sizes in the CERN hadron accelerator complex Therefore, FLUKA is used to calculate energy depositions of protons in copper (in graphite as well, show in the future) No thermodynamics and hydrodynamic simulation is included (static approximation) Thursday, August 25, 2016 Yuancun NIE

II. Beam parameters to be studied for CERN hadron accelerator complex For the Gaussian distribution: 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 = 𝛽 c 𝜀 rms = 𝛽 c 𝜀 n,rms /𝛾 where 𝛽 c is the betatron function of the beam optics, 𝜀 n,rms = 𝛾𝜀 rms is the normalized rms beam emittance. For 450 GeV SPS beam, 𝜀 n,rms ~3.5μm, assuming 𝛽 c =100m, 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.85mm; For 7 TeV LHC beam, 𝜀 n,rms ~3.75μm, assuming 𝛽 c =100m, 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.22mm; For 50 TeV FCC beam, 𝜀 n,rms ~2.2μm, assuming 𝛽 c =200m, 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.09mm; The typical beam size from the LINAC, PSB and PS is up to a few mm. Therefore, we first study such a case that the beam size is kept to be 0.2mm for all the energies. In addition, different beam sizes are studied depending on the beam energy, which will be listed later. Emittance history for LHC D.

IV. Comparison with the Bethe equation The mean energy loss rate of moderately relativistic (0.1≤𝛽𝛾≤1000) charged heavy particles in intermediate-Z materials is well-described by the Bethe equation: − 𝑑𝐸 𝑑𝑥 =𝐾 𝑧 2 𝑍 𝐴 1 𝛽 2 1 2 ln 2 𝑚 e 𝑐 2 𝛽 2 𝛾 2 𝑇 max 𝐼 2 − 𝛽 2 − 𝛿 𝛽𝛾 2 where 𝑇 max is the maximum kinetic energy that can be transferred to a free electron in a single collision, 𝛿 𝛽𝛾 is the density effect correction to ionization energy loss: 𝑇 max = 2 𝑚 e 𝑐 2 𝛽 2 𝛾 2 1+2𝛾 𝑚 e 𝑀 + 𝑚 e 𝑀 2 𝛿 𝛽𝛾 = 2 ln 10 𝑥− 𝐶 if 𝑥≥ 𝑥 1 ; 2 ln 10 𝑥− 𝐶 +𝑎 𝑥 1 −𝑥 𝑘 if 𝑥 0 ≤𝑥< 𝑥 1 ; 0 if 𝑥< 𝑥 0 (nonconductors); 𝛿 0 10 2 𝑥− 𝑥 0 if 𝑥< 𝑥 0 (conductors); with 𝑥= log 10 𝑝/𝑀𝑐 = log 10 𝛽𝛾 .

Sternheimer and R.F. Peierls, PR B, 1971 Thursday, August 25, 2016 Yuancun NIE

IV. Comparison with the Bethe equation Using the Bethe equation, we can calculate the mean energy loss rate of one proton in copper, in the units of MeV g −1 cm 2 . Meanwhile, from FLUKA, we get the energy deposition in the units of GeV/ cm 3 , in the predefined volume of the copper target. In order to compare the two values, we multiply the mean loss rate by the copper density (g/cm3) to obtain the energy loss per penetration length, in the units of GeV/cm. On the other hand, for the energy deposition values from FLUKA, we perform an integration in the cross section at the entrance of the target to obtain the energy loss per penetration length, in the same units of GeV/cm. Such an energy loss rate is independent on the beam size, as illustrated by the figure below. For example, the areas under the three curves (the integrals) are the same (𝟎.𝟎𝟔𝟖 𝐆𝐞𝐕/𝐜𝐦), corresponding to three different beam sizes 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.2 mm, 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.4 mm and 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =1.0 mm, respectively, for a 50 MeV proton in copper.

IV. Comparison with the Bethe equation − 𝑑𝐸 𝑑𝑥 =𝐾 𝑧 2 𝑍 𝐴 1 𝛽 2 1 2 ln 2 𝑚 e 𝑐 2 𝛽 2 𝛾 2 𝑇 max 𝐼 2 − 𝛽 2 − 𝛿 𝛽𝛾 2 The results are in good accordance with each other when the proton kinetic energies are 50 MeV, 160 MeV and 1.4 GeV. The values from Bethe equation are more and more under-estimated for higher energies. For 26 GeV (𝛽𝛾≈30), it becomes 70% of that in FLUKA. The reason is that at higher energies, radiative effects (bremsstrahlung, pair production and photonuclear interactions) begin to be important, which are not included in the Bethe equation.

V. Specific energy deposition of multi-protons (bunches) Using non-constant specific heat capacity, 674J/g is needed to make the copper melted from 300K, and 6250J/g to vaporize it. The number of protons needed to melt the copper material at the maximum energy deposition point (denoted as 𝑛 p, max ) as well as at the entrance of the target (denoted as 𝑛 p, entrance ) are listed in the following table. In addition, the corresponding number of proton bunches (denoted as 𝑁 p, max and 𝑁 p, entrance , respectively) are presented as well, based on the nominal bunch intensity listed previously. For the SPS (450 GeV, 𝜎 𝑥,𝑦 =0.8mm), the safe beam intensity (no melting) is 3.1×1012, which agrees well with the damage test experiments (Kain et al., Chamonix 2009 Workshop on LHC Performance). Analogously, the threshold is 3.3×1010 for the beam size of 0.2 mm at the LHC top energy of 7 TeV, and 1.9×109 for 0.1 mm at the FCC top energy of 50 TeV, as suggested in the following table.

VI. Summary and future works The energy depositions of 50 MeV-50 TeV protons in copper have been simulated and analysed. Typical energies and beam sizes were selected to cover the CERN hadron accelerator complex. They serve as a starting point for further analyses. Another target material of graphite is being studied. Based on this, estimation can be performed for beam energies / sizes that haven’t been listed. For instance, the higher-energy LHC (HE-LHC) has been proposed to reach a beam energy of 16.5 TeV, of which the maximum energy deposition can be assessed to be around 3000 GeV/ cm 3 /p at 21 cm into the solid copper target for σx,y= 0.2 mm. The simulation here was performed only using FLUKA, i.e., the static approximation was assumed and the hydrodynamic tunnelling hadn’t been considered. We are (only) able to predict the minimum penetration depth into the target for a certain beam based on such static approximation. The existence of hydrodynamic tunnelling has been confirmed by the HiRadMat experiment, for high energy beam with a long bunch train. To simulate it, BIG2 has been used, and we will try to use ANSYS Autodyn / LS-Dyna as well. A case study using Autodyn / LS-Dyna is in progress in collaboration with EN-MME. One copper target & beam parameter of the 2012 HiRadMat experiment is taken as reference. Thursday, August 25, 2016 Yuancun NIE
