TESTS ON TCT COLLIMATOR Beam Parameters Beam-based collimator setup using low-intensity bunches (pilot bunch with 5 x 10 9 ppb) – also for integrity check of Jaw surface after Test 1 Collimator gap equivalent to TCLA gap (smallest gap representing most critical scenario) ~ 3.3mm Beam parameters for the irradiation tests: bunches of 0.5mm round beam at collimator jaw entrance face (beam size equivalent to beam size at TCTH location), 1.5 x ppb intensity, 440GeV Impact parameter: 2mm Approval of tests by RP (EMDS Document No.: ) 9 Collimation Meeting

TESTS ON TCT COLLIMATOR Overview on Tests 1.Test 1 – Design Error Case: Asynchronous beam dump in operation or during collimator setup (with 1 nominal LHC bunch). 2.Test 2 – Low-Intensity shot just below damage limit to collect reference data to assess damage thresholds. 3.Test 3 – Disruptive Scenario for asynchronous dump (to be carried out only if it is shown that the results from Test 1 are not compromised). 10 Collimation Meeting

TESTS ON TCT COLLIMATOR Test 1 – Effects of Asynchronous Beam Dump Aim: investigate effect of an asynchronous dump involving the direct impact of 1 nominal LHC bunch on 1 collimator jaw A shot with about 20 high intensity HiRadMat bunches (1.5x10 11 ppb at 440GeV) will be performed at jaw entrance face on Jaw 1 (FLUKA simulations by L. Lari confirmed same energy deposition peak) 11 Collimation Meeting th axis down 10 mm

TESTS ON TCT COLLIMATOR Test 2 – Reference Shot below Damage Limit Aim: Further assessment of the damage threshold of the jaw material. Low-intensity shot (3-4 high intensity bunches at 1.5 x ppb at 440Gev) on Jaw 1 Such impact will not evoke any beam-induced damage (maximum temperature expected to stay 80% below melting temperature of pure tungsten). Vertical jaw position to upper out-switch. 12 Collimation Meeting th axis up 10 mm

TESTS ON TCT COLLIMATOR Test 3 – Disruptive Effects of asynchronous beam dump Aim: To benchmark simulation results presented at Chamonix against experimental results Simulation results anticipated that 4 LHC bunches (1.3 x ppb) at 5TeV on a TCT would cause jaw damage together with severe plastic deformations on the cooling pipes FLUKA simulations by L. Lari showed we need around 50 bunches with 1.5 x ppb at 440GeV to be equivalent to this case Jaw 1 will be taken out completely for this test. 13 Collimation Meeting th axis up 10 mm

MICROPHONES AT HRM Purpose of Sound Analysis Can we (roughly) localize Impacts with correlation measures between two or more microphone signals? Sound Pressure Level -> Amplitude of pressure wave Spectral Components -> Damage/ no damage? Investigate limitations of the system (EM noise, R2E) Application: Impact detection and localization at LHC collimators! 17 Collimation Meeting
