Description
The LHC collimation system has been redesigned over the last two years in order to meet the requirements from the unprecedented LHC beam intensities. Important decisions have been taken on the different types of collimators to be installed, the overall collimation system layout, the collimator design (materials, lengths, ...) and the required infrastructure. The overall system design has now essentially been finalized and the first system components are ready for series production. In this seminar the final design of the LHC collimation system is described. The different types of LHC collimators, their basic design features and their role in beam cleaning and machine protection are explained. The remaining work on various parts for phase 1 of LHC collimation and an outlook towards phase 2 are presented.
