Two high-accuracy goniometers equipped with two bent silicon crystals were installed in the
betatron cleaning insertion of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its long …

The LHC collimation system has been re-designed over in order to address the
unprecedented challenges that are faced with the 360 MJ beams at 7 TeV. The layout of the …

Experiments were performed at the CERN SPS with 120 GeV/c stored proton beams to
assess the possibility of beam halo collimation assisted by bent crystals. A bent crystal was …

Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will collide two counter-rotating proton
beams, each with an energy of 7 TeV. The energy stored in the superconducting magnet …

The physics reach of the LHC requires unprecedented luminosity and beam intensity in
proton-proton collisions. The maximum intensity in the LHC is directly coupled to the …

In view of the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN,
different materials were investigated for the upgrade of the LHC collimation system. A key …

Eth nuc dT dT d TN dx dE σ for the recoils above a certain fraction of energy. The integration

Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been constructed at CERN (Conseil
Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, Geneva, Switzerland), and recently started up. The …

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project aims at extending the
operability of the LHC by another decade and increasing by more than a factor of ten the …
