1. MD 2733: Beam size measurements using quadrupolar BPM based on DOROS and collimator BPM
Beam Energy & Intensity: One bunch during full cycle
Beam conditions: ADT for blow-up
Estimated time: 4h
By A. Sounas, M. Gasior, T. Lefevre, M. Wendt, S . Redaelli and ..
Goal: Test the possibility to measure beam size using collimator BPM (as quadrupolar pick-up) using two collimators (H and V)
Position Scans
(bumps/coll. offset scans)
Centering Beam
BPM characterization
About 1.2 km of the present LHC ring will be modified during the LS3 shutdown, when the HL-LHC machine upgrade is scheduled to take place.
New shielded Beam Screen for the low-beta􏰀 triplets stands at the center of the project.
HiLumi-LHC (HL-LHC) machine upgrade has the additional feature of needing internal tungsten shields to reduce the amount of collision
debris which is deflected by the high-gradient triplet magnets towards the superconducting magnets' cold masses and coils.
Apperture Scans
Abs. Beam Size measurement
Blow-up / Ramp
Rel. Beam Size measurement (no need for aperture scan, IP1 Q7 BPMs can be used)
