Description
The pp collisions in the LHC interaction points generate at nominal
luminosity about
900 W carried away by secondaries to each side of an experimental
insertion. This
energy is largely intercepted by the TAS and TAN absorbers, but a non-
negligable
part ends up in the coils of the superconducting low-beta
quadrupoles. These magnets
have to sustain and evacuate a load of typically 5 W/m, a factor of
10 larger than
in the arc. Other magnets in the insertions are also exposed to beam
heat loads, but
of lower magnitude. In this talk, I will present the design of the
various
superconducting magnets in the LHC insertions, and give an overview
of the available
data on their expected performance in presence of beam losses.
