9. MPS Collimator Summary: 1. 200 full energy bunches hitting an aluminum block within 2 mm of the edge will eject molten and vaporized aluminum into the gap over a length of ~1 meter. 2. During accelerator tune up, the bunch intensity would need to be reduced by ~2 orders-of-magnitude and the emittance increased to avoid melting. (This is not new information.) 3. To avoid collimator damage, a spoiler/absorber combination would require a ≈0.5 rl consumable spoiler and many tens of meters of drift to the absorber (not simulated yet). 4. If the first part of the 200-bunch train vaporizes aluminum along the beam path, the longitudinal extent of the collimator damage may be considerably greater than one meter (not simulated). 5. A carbon collimator melts and vaporizes in a much smaller volume than in aluminum.
