Description
Material damage levels for LHC intensities and energies are in
general derived from computer simulations calculating static energy
deposition. A dedicated experiment was carried out to cross-check the
validity of this approach: With a 450GeV proton beam extracted from
the SPS in TT40, material was deliberately damaged 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 the experiment.
General requirements to predict beam induced damage levels with
computer simulations are discussed.
