Rüdiger Schmidt - Wuppertal Januar Beam transport Need for keeping protons on a circle: dipole magnets Need for focusing the beams: l Particles with different injection parameters (angle, position) separate with time Assuming an angle difference of rad, two particles would separate by 1 m after 10 6 m. At the LHC, with a length of m, this would be the case after 50 turns (5 ms !) l The beam size must be well controlled At the collision point the beam size must be tiny l Particles with (slightly) different energies should stay together l Particles would „drop“ due to gravitation

Rüdiger Schmidt - Wuppertal Januar Dynamic aperture and magnet imperfections l Particles with small amplitudes are in general stable l Particles with large amplitudes are not stable l The dynamic aperture is the limit of the stability region l The dynamic aperture depends on field error - without any field errors, the dynamic aperture would be large l The magnets should be made such as the dynamic aperture is not too small (say, 10  the amplitude of a one sigma particle, assuming Gaussian distribution) l The dynamic aperture depends also on the working point and on the sextupole magnets for correction of chromatic effects

Rüdiger Schmidt - Wuppertal Januar Regular (very healthy) operation Assuming that the beams are colliding at 7 TeV Single beam lifetime larger than 100 hours….. corresponds to a loss of about 1 kW / beam far below the cooling power of the cryogenic system, even if all particles would be lost at 1.9 K losses should be either distributed across the machine or captured in the warm cleaning insertions Collision of beams with a luminosity of cm -2 s -1 lifetime of the beam can be be dominated by collisions 10 9 protons / second lost per beam / per experiment (in IR 1 and IR 5 - high luminosity insertions) - this is about 1.2 kW large heat load to close-by superconducting quadrupoles heavy shielding around the high luminosity IPs
