FLUKA simulations of asynchronous dump in HL-LHC
Last updated: 21/10/2016
Assumptions used in simulations:
- machine configuration:
- 7 TeV,
- beta*=15cm, optics version HL-LHC 1.2,
- TCTs opened to be on the limit of protecting the triplet - 13.3 sigma
- Assuming dump protection is misaligned and single bunches can
directly hit the TCT4 or TCT5. Magnetic tracking from dump kicker of
miskicked bunch to the TCT
- Several cases considered:
- Grazing impact (center of the bunch at the edge of the jaw,
so that half of the bunch hits the TCT) or full impact at a depth of 2
sigma
- Bunch hitting either TCT4 or TCT5
- Different materials: Inermet180 (present material, tungsten alloy), copper diamond, molybdenum graphite
- Shower simulated with FLUKA from TCT, particles written out at interface plane at 22.6 m
- Cutoff at 1 MeV for hadrons and muons, 100keV for photons and e-,e+, neutrons transported down to thermal.
Data files with particles entering the interface plane:
- IR5 B2, impact on TCT4. FLUKA simulation done by A. Tsinganis, F. Cerutti, tracking inputs and scenario by R. Bruce
Normalization: 30000 events simulated in FLUKA, corresponding to:
- 1.167E11 real protons for the half bunch impact => One event in FLUKA corresponds to 3.889E6 real protons on the TCT
- 2.184E11 real protons for the full bunch impact => One event in FLUKA corresponds to 7.280E6 real protons on the TCT
