Description
The design of protection elements is based on assumptions on damage
levels, which are in general derived from computer simulations. A
dedicatedexperiment was carried out to cross-check the extracted
from the SPS in TT40, deliberate damage of material was done in a
controlled way. A simple geometry was chosen for the high-Z target
comprising several typical materials that are used in the LHC, such
as stainless steel and copper. Results of the simulations are
presented and compared with experiments.
Simulation results for the damage of a beam pipe in TT40 during an
accident with the high intensity extraction are compared with
observations. An outlook of what is required to predict beam induced
damage levels in the LHC with confidence is given.
