Description
A failure of the LHC Beam Dumping System could have a serious
negative impact on the performance of the LHC machine. The failure
modes of the Beam Dumping System are presented, together with the
expected occurrence rate and possible consequences. For the Beam
Dumping System failures that are expected to occur during the LHC
lifetime, the functionality and implementation of the foreseen
dedicated protection devices and protection systems are described,
together with the required performance. Analysis results for the
most serious cases are presented. Finally, the requirements placed
on settings for the movable protection devices with respect to the
beam are highlighted.
