11. Radiation Damage Considerations in Accelerator Beam Environments

Dr David Webb (ARPANSA)

16/09/2015, 09:00

Tutorial

The impact of radiation upon equipment used on accelerator beam lines is a continuing concern. Materials, cabling and instrumentation will experience aging and degradation and even failure depending on the nature of the radiation and the intensity of the fields. This discussion will review the fundamentals of radiation interactions and look at possible mechanisms for damage. In the case of...

Transverse Profile Monitors

Contributed Oral

During LHC Run 1 significant transverse emittance growth through the LHC cycle was observed. Measurements indicated most of the blow-up to occur during the injection plateau and the ramp. Intra beam scattering was one of the main drivers of emittance growth. However, finding a good wire scanner working point was difficult. Photomultiplier saturation added uncertainty on all measurements. A...
