Raymond Veness (CERN)05/09/2007, 08:30Issues Raised by the Design of the LHC Beam Dump Entrance WindowThe LHC beam dump entrance window consists of a carbon-carbon composite structural sheet backed by a thin stainless steel foil for leak tightness. The design of this window has highlighted issues that merit further investigation. The use of the bulk coefficient of thermal expansion coefficient for the composite should be questioned where there is a significant temperature gradient between...Go to contribution page

Markus BRUGGER (CERN)05/09/2007, 09:00Overview of FLUKA Energy Deposition and Design Studies for the LHCIn order to assess the energy deposition in sensitive LHC components, extensive simulations were performed with the Monte Carlo cascade code FLUKA. In many cases specialized solutions needed to be found, challenging in several aspects, i.e., from the calculation as well as from the design point-of-view. Depending on the problem, detailed geometrical implementations, an accurate...Go to contribution page

Markus BRUGGER (CERN)05/09/2007, 09:40Generic studies of radioactivity induced by high energy beams in different absorber materialsA rigorous campaign of benchmark measurements for materials typically used at accelerators has shown the high accuracy of FLUKA calculations for isotope production and residual dose rates. Accurate estimates of both quantities are important during all phases of an accelerator, i.e., design, operation and decommissioning. A detailed implementation of geometries and accurate consideration of...Go to contribution page

George SMIRNOV (CERN)05/09/2007, 10:35Studies of radiation effects on graphite collimator materialsThe current status of the code development for simulating the structural damage of the graphite jaws of the LHC collimators produced by 7 TeV protons is presented. The technique, which is being developed in the framework of the Monte Carlo code FLUKA, combined with the results of experimental tests of carbon-carbon composite materials in radiation hard environment will be capable of...Go to contribution page

Alessandro DALLOCCHIO (CERN)05/09/2007, 11:40FE simulation of 450 GeV injection error testDynamic phenomena provoked by the rapid interaction of energetic particle beams with slender structures usually known as thermally induced vibrations are presented. Specific regard is given to the analysis of the accident case triggered by a beam injection error at 450 GeV, recently tested at CERN on LHC collimator prototypes. A simplified analytical method, which was previously...Go to contribution page

Alexander RYAZANOV (KURCHATOV INSTITUTE)05/09/2007, 12:05Beam impact on collimator materials: Studies for LHC by Kurtchatov InstituteTheoretical models and numerical calculations are presented here to understand an influence of the impact of a 7 TeV proton beam on the physical-mechanical properties of collimator materials (C, Cu) used in the LHC. Here we develop the theoretical model for shock wave propagation and theoretical model for calculations of primary radiation damage formation including calculations of a...Go to contribution page

Alessandro Bertarelli (CERN)05/09/2007, 14:00FE codes for thermo-mechanical analysis for Phase I collimationThe functional requirements of the LHC Collimators impose, for the start-up of the machine and the initial luminosity runs (Phase 1), a collimation system with a very high dimensional stability in nominal operating conditions, under considerable thermal loads and, at the same time, maximum robustness in case of accidental beam impacts. In order to meet these requirements and to optimize...Go to contribution page

Nick SIMOS (BNL)05/09/2007, 14:30Experience with Implicit and Explicit codes in analyzing beam-induced thermo-mechanical shockIn an effort to extrapolate the interaction of intense proton pulses with materials to power levels beyond those achieved to-date in accelerators, computational schemes based on finite element formulation are being widely employed. While the long-term interaction between radiating particles and materials result in the degradation of the ability of a material to absorb the induced shock,...Go to contribution page

Luca Bruno (CERN)05/09/2007, 15:00Numerical tools for the design of beam intercepting devicesBeam intercepting devices (collimators, targets, absorbers) capable of sustaining high-intensity beams are key elements to meet the future physics needs. The highly non-linear phenomena involved in their design study (cavitation, transient magnetic-hydrodynamic effects on liquid metal jets, phase change, fluid-structure interactions) require advanced simulation tools at the forefront of...Go to contribution page
