Calculation of the energy loss of an incident beam in a thin wire is the first step if we want to assess the thermal behaviour of the wire during the scan process. We will present these calculations with the FLUKA code and the choice of key parameters to get realistic results. Simulations at specific energies for SPS (450 GeV), LHC (7 TeV) and FCC (50 TeV) were performed with different...
Low-density materials as targets for wire scanners demonstrate favorable thermal behavior. Simulations with the PyTT package are carried out to study the secondary emission yield and the maximum temperature for carbon nanotube and carbon fibre wire for the PSI Main Ring Cyclotron and HL-LHC beams. These results show that with low-density materials, the maximum temperature reached is lower due...
