10. Collimator Simulations Work ongoing (more details in M. Garlasché presentation): A. Dallocchio21/7/201410 1)TCSG:  Finite elements analysis of the beam injection error scenario (P. Gradassi)  Same parameters defined in 2004, with HL-LHC intensity (6.4E13 p)  FLUKA inputs courtesy of A. Lechner, A. Patapenka and L. Skordis 2)TCSP:  Beam injection error scenario has been confirmed as the most critical (no problems highlighted in case of asynchronous beam dump)  In case of HL-LHC intensity, T > T melt on the downstream tapering!  Recently installed TCSP cannot experience this accident scenario  Aluminium tapering under study for future TCSP (coating needed to cope with secondary electron yield)  FLUKA inputs courtesy of A. Lechner, A. Patapenka and L. Skordis

11. Collimator Simulations Work ongoing (more details in M. Garlasché presentation): A. Dallocchio21/7/201411 3)TCT:  New thresholds for tertiary collimators (asynchronous beam dump scenario) calculated and presented during MPP Annecy 2013:MPP Annecy 2013  Onset of plastic damage : 5x10 9 p  Limit for fragment ejection: 2x10 10 p  Limit of for 5 th axis compensation (with fragment ejection): 1x10 11 p  Updated asynchronous beam dump scenario studied by R. Bruce and L. Lari (presented during AdColMat 3 th meeting), featuring fractions of subsequent bunches impacted the collimator in different spotsAdColMat 3 th meeting  SixTrack/FLUKA inputs not available yet 4)TCSx:  FLUKA analysis ongoing (T. Manousos, L. Skordis) to evaluate beam injection error scenario on MoGr active jaw  New iterations will most likely be needed, in particular for the active jaw (CuCD to be simulated)

12. Conclusions A. Dallocchio21/7/201412  R&D on materials is rapidly progressing, with tests at CERN, GSI, BNL and PoliTo (Elena’s presentation)  New instruments are being procured and new measurement methods have been developed:  Laser-flash and dilatometer have already been delivered  Differential Scanning Calorimeter will allow to precisely measure the specific heat of materials up to 2000 ˚C, also detecting phase transitions  Ad-hoc setup prepared at EN/MME mechanical lab to determine the elastic matrix constant of anisotropic materials (E, G, in the different directions)  Benchmarking of HRMT14 measurements almost completed; the last simulations will be performed once Mo EOS is available  Two experiments proposed for HiRadMat 2 nd run (2015): HRMT21 (SLAC rotatable collimator) and HRMT23 (collimator jaws). Both experiments recommended by the HiRadMat Scientific Committee  Several additional simulations (FLUKA and Thermo-mechanical) completed on different collimators with HL-LHC parameters.
