Description
The circulating beam in the LHC generates heat loads which are
dissipated onto the beam screen or in the cold masses of the elements
operating at cryogenic temperature. The synchrotron radiation emitted
by the proton beam is intercepted by the beam screens. These beam
screens are also carrying the beam image current which dissipates
power. Finally, the heat load induced by the electron cloud is also
intercepted by the beam screen. The scattering of the protons onto
the nucleus of the residual gas produce gerbs into the cold masses
which dissipate heat load. The level of these heat loads are given
for scenari which refer to nominal, ultimate and LHC luminosity
upgrade.
