Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is built to collide intense proton beams
with an unprecedented energy of 7 TeV. The design stored energy per beam of 362 MJ …

The LHC collimation system is designed to provide protection against regular and abnormal
losses in order to reduce the risk of quenches of the superconducting magnets as well as the …

Abstract During LHC Run 2, the LHC machine configuration evolved significantly. Starting
from a very careful approach in 2015, with the priority on stability and ease of …

The first proton run of the LHC was very successful and resulted in important physics
discoveries. It was followed by a two-year shutdown where a large number of improvements …

The Large Hadron Collider has a complex collimation system installed to protect its sensitive
equipment from normal and abnormal beam losses. The collimators are set around the …

Different upgrades of the LHC will be carried out in the framework of the High Luminosity
project (HL-LHC), where the total stored energy in the machine will increase up to about 700 …

In the LHC, beam loss maps are used to validate collimator settings for cleaning and
machine protection. This is done by monitoring the loss distribution in the ring during …

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with a complex collimation system to protect
sensitive equipment from unavoidable beam losses. Collimators are positioned close to the …

Transverse beam instabilities are a major cause of emittance dilution and beam losses in
high intensity hadron accelerators. This paper presents an overview of the system that has …

This report summarizes the results of MD1447 about the hierarchy limit of the LHC
collimation system in IR7 at 6.5 TeV and its impedance, performed during MD block 1 of …
