Description
The injection and beam dump processes are designed to avoid any beam
losses. However, situations will occur in which these processes are
not carried out correctly, for instance with out of tolerance beam
characteristics, wrong settings or equipment failures. In these cases
beam losses can occur. Damage to accelerator equipment should be
prevented by the Machine Protection systems, but it will not be
possible to avoid quenches in all cases. The catalogue of different
beam losses mechanisms is presented, with a summary of the studies
made to date, the expected occurance rate and a discussion of
outstanding areas of concern.
