Prospects for Integrating a Hollow Electron Lens into the LHC Collimation System
Smith, Jeffrey Claiborne (SLAC); Assmann, Ralph, Previtali, Valentina, Shiltsev, Vladimir, Valishev, Alexander (CERN; Fermilab)
It has been proposed to use a hollow electron lens with the LHC beam collimation system [1]. The hollow electron beam would be used as a beam scraper and positioned at a closer sigma than the primary collimators to increase the halo particle diffusion rate striking the primaries. In this paper we use multi-turn beam tracking simulations to analyze the effectiveness of such a lens when integrated into the LHC collimation system.
