LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 2 /6n Introductory Statements Your comments and/or questions are welcome at any time. There will also be time at the end for an in-depth discussion of any and all aspects of our design. Sub-title of this talk: “The Rotatable Collimator from the inside out” Basic format I hope to follow: Internal component detail (CAD models and photos of real pieces (RC-0 / RC-1) Fabrication photos of components of the RC-0 Jaw aka Heater Test Jaw. Fabrication photos of some of the RC-1 components that are currently in work. Specifications and physics requirements and how we meet them.
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 3 /6n Collimator Jaw-Hub-Shaft Concept Jaw heats up along the side facing the beam and lengthens causing each end to deflect away from the beam and into the 2mm annular gap between the Shaft and the Jaw. The Jaw also swells a bit causing the Jaw face move towards the beam.

LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 11 /6n RC-0 Half Shaft and Half Hub Brazing The two Half Hubs are now one. We originally needed to machine out a copper inner keeper plug that forced the moly fingers out with the Glidcop during brazing to provide an opening for the tubing. RC-1 uses a thinner SST ring that can remain inside the Shaft with room for the tubes to pass through.

LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 23 /6n Collimator Jaw Brazed to Mandrel RC-1 Jaw has 5 cylindrical sections. End sections are tapered. RC-0 has 16 quarter sections, none are tapered. The RC-0 Jaw to Mandrel fit up for brazing was quite time consuming & expensive. Each quarter section had to be reworked to fit Mandrel final diameter! Changing to full cylinders, to save time & cost, meant they should be a somewhat shorter to be easier to slide over the Mandrel with the tight brazing tolerances. Robustness test will use 1 RC-0 and 1 RC-1 style Jaw

Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 30 /6n 20 Facets 20 years? 20.25mm Thickness of Glidcop Jaw (facet to water) is 24.5mm. ~15 degree taper at each end places RF contact bearings ~10mm away from facet. Facet length = 930mm (oal) – 2x38mm (taper) = 854mm Taper may be too generous and could be shortened for a longer facet.
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 31 /6n Facet Flatness Flatness Specification is 25 microns over full length of Jaw. –How did we do? Generally very good (4 of 5 facets checked met spec). Worst facet has a sagitta of 43 microns. –How we will do even better! Newer milling machine. –Competitive bid with specification of 25 micron rather than “best effort” May suggest vendor perform test mill of dummy piece to qualify process prior to fab.

LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 35 /6n Up Beam end Jaw Support Version 1 Diaphragm allows Jaw end-to-end offset and Shaft sag. Flex vanes compensate (along with the diaphragm) for Shaft expansion
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 36 /6n Jaw Support Development A few thoughts: Rigid mount would hold drive gearing in alignment with Shaft. This would require a flexible connection to the shaft to allow for deflection (sag) due to gravity and Jaw end-to-end offset. Or a spherical bearing. At the time we were unable to locate a full complement ceramic spherical bearing set. So… A diaphragm was introduced to attach the gear to the Shaft. This diaphragm, if designed correctly, should be able to distort not only for the angles but also for the change in length of the Shaft due to thermal effects. Eventually it was determined that the End Support would need to flex to help the diaphragm absorb the longitudinal expansion. Version 1 was designed. Finally the current version combines the diaphragm angular distortions with the flexibility of the original End Support. The final hurdle is to find an acceptable high strength stainless steel to fabricate it from. (Restrictions may eliminate some H.S. stainless steels which contain Co as an alloying element).

Deflection is improved for non-horizontal collimator positions.
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 46 /6n Jaw Rotator/Gear Drive Accuracy Jaw face alignment specification dictates an indexing type of mechanism. This drive allows up to 8 mis-counts of drive motor steps before Jaw moves off position. 2x1 bevel reduction in combination with 80 x1 worm reduces side load on drive and support to a minimum level. Worm also provides locking of Jaw. Backlash is a minimized due to tubing torque load
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 47 /6n Indexing the Collimator Jaw Indexing can be 1 facet, 5 facets for 90 degrees, 10 facets for 180 degrees. For a distortion of Jaw in the plane of the beam a 90 degree advance would render the distortion a non-problem. After a 180 degree advance a subsequent hit might correct the distortion, if a were of the same magnitude. Following a sequence of 10 facets (180 degrees), 1 facet then 10 facets, a total of 5.25 twists of the tubing would be needed to “use up” all 20 facets. Tubing was twisted an equivalent of 8 times. No visible defects observed.

LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 56 /6n Preliminary Tank concept First transition from round pipe to square geometry is machined into the flange end of tank. Flexible Glidcop foils (not shown) carry image current to second transition which tapers meet Jaw end. Tank has tapered features to prevent upsetting the image current
LARP LHC PHASE II COLL RC1 - S. Lundgren 1 April 2009 No 57 /6n Why the change? We were interested in the ability to work on the image current components after things were welded up because we may not get it right the first time. Results from preliminary laboratory RF tests showed that geometry to be less an issue than previously anticipated so the more complicated transitions may not be needed. We will be hand tig welding the tank together rather than e-beam welding so distortion could be less of an issue. Pluses: Uses standard pipe. Thinner wall results in less radiation effects. Camera ports for viewing the Jaw face remotely seem a bit simpler to implement. Minuses: However, HOM modeling has recently shown high heating loads (larger volume). Until those issues are resolved this configuration might only be useful for the TT60 tests.
