Session 2: Quench Tests at the LHC

• Bernd Dehning (CERN)
• Chiara Bracco (CERN)

Description

This session is devoted to a series of controlled beam-loss experiments performed in the LHC during Run1. Loss durations ranged from single-turn losses to over 20-s loss duration. The experimental setup is introduced, followed by the main aspects of BIQ analysis: loss pattern estimation, particle shower simulations, and electro-thermal calculations. Analysis results and possible improvements for future experiments are discussed.
