摘要:

铅离子束在LHC中的准直效率预计低于要求。在初级准直器中的核碎裂和电磁解离产生具有宽范围的Z/A比的碎片,这些碎片不会被次级准直器拦截,而是在色散已经足够大的地方丢失。在这篇文章中,我们提出了测量和模拟的损失模式所产生的原型LHC准直器在欧洲粒子物理研究所SPS。在准直器的两种不同能量和角度下进行测量。我们还比较了质子损失图,发现Pb离子和质子之间的质的差异,观察到的最大损失率在环中的不同位置。这种行为是通过模拟预测的,并为我们理解准直引起的离子束损失提供了一个有价值的基准。

英文摘要:

The collimation efficiency for Pb ion beams in the LHC is predicted to be lower than requirements. Nuclear fragmentation and electromagnetic dissociation in the primary collimators create fragments with a wide range of Z/A ratios, which are not intercepted by the secondary collimators but lost where the dispersion has grown sufficiently large. In this article we present measurements and simulations of loss patterns generated by a prototype LHC collimator in the CERN SPS. Measurements were performed at two different energies and angles of the collimator. We also compare with proton loss maps and find a qualitative difference between Pb ions and protons, with the maximum loss rate observed at different places in the ring. This behavior was predicted by simulations and provides a valuable benchmark of our understanding of ion beam losses caused by collimation.
