Progress of the Working Group
LIU-SPS Coordination Meeting, 13 June 2012

TCDI Studies: TI 2 – Eliana Gianfelice
Objective: find new location for the TCDIs in order to avoid downstream beam showers which are caught by the LHC BLMs, and trigger beam dumps
Mitigation: Shielding added at the end of 2010 reduced the effects of the showers produced by TCDIV.29234 and TCDIH.29205 by a factor 2 or 3. No sufficient for LIU beam specs.
In progress: BLM sunglassesNew locations for protection devices
Based on work done by V. Kain, CERN-THESIS-2005-047, Eliana Gianfelice studied new possible locations :

TCDI Studies: TI 8 – Eliana Gianfelice
Mitigation: Extra shielding has been added during March 2011 stop leading to improvement of about a factor 3 for the worst BLMs, i.e. BLMQI.07R8.B2E20 and BLMQI07R8.B2E10,. No sufficient for LIU beam specs.
Eliana Gianfelice studied new possible locations :
‣New locations have been found for collimators in TI2 and TI8 (Q26 and Q20 optics)
‣All optics and beam specification have been provided for FLUKA simulations to Alessio.

TCDI Studies: summary
4
‣LSS1, LSS2 (already activated) and LSS3 are full of equipment
‣LSS4 was studied – dropped due to RP concerns
‣Alternative locations : LSS5 and LSS6
‣LSS5 houses UA9 experiment and intentionally being kept unoccupied (as much as possible).
‣Consider LSS6 as the primary region
SPS scraper studies: new possible location - Öznur Mete
LSS6
Horizontal scraping located between 619-620 with 3 existing MPLH magnets.
Vertical scraping located between QDA.619-QF.620 with 2 existing and 2 new vertical bumpers.

From operational experience : required amount of scraping from? 3σ scraping ? Beam based tests are ongoing by using the SPS scraper BSHV.11771 in order to determine
the beam loss points and orbit stability (ABT in collaboration with Karel Cornelis, Lene Drosdal, Eliana Gianfelice, Verena Kain, Alessio Mereghetti, Oznur Mete, Helga Timko, Eric Veyrune).
Simulation studies are ongoing with SPS orbit effects For details:

Beam Losses: estimation from CNGS - Jörg Wenninger
‣Losses in the SPS associated with the CNGS beam has been considered for the estimates of the LIU scraping.

Radiation Protection: First Dose Estimates for ECX4 - Helmut Vincke
Critical Area
Calculated for a beam loss rate 1.23E13 protons/s
‣First estimates concerning influence of the scraping operation in ECX4 on the radiation environment in ECX4/ECA4 were carried out.
‣These estimates are based on old calculations which partly resemble the scraping situation in ECX4.
‣Both prompt dose rate and residual dose rate caused by the scraping operation in ECX4 will have a severe impact on the radiation environment in ECA4 and ECX4.
‣The current area classifications of ECA4 will have to be changed from Supervised Radiation Area to a higher level. This change implies stronger constraints concerning access, dose and job planning and dosimeter requirements.
‣The need for more accurate simulations has to be considered. Manpower for these calculations has to be found.
