5. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 5 Energy and Luminosity l Particle physics requires an accelerator colliding beams with a centre-of-mass energy of, say, 14 TeV (7 TeV per beam) l In order to observe rare events, the luminosity should be 10 34 [cm -1 s -2 ] l Event rate:

55.

56. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 56 Conclusions l The LHC is a global project with the world-wide high-energy physics community devoted to its progress and results l As a project, it is much more complex and diversified than the SPS or LEP or any other large accelerator project constructed to date Machine Advisory Committee, chaired by Prof. M. Tigner, March 2002 l We recognize that the planned schedule is very aggressive, given the complexity and potential for damage involved in the initial phases of operation. l It will be important to understand the performance of the machine protection system, the collimation system and the orbit feedback system as well as cycle repeatability and adequate beta-beat control before proceeding to run with significant stored beam energy. Pressure to take shortcuts must be resisted. Machine Advisory Committee, chaired by Prof. M. Tigner, June 2005

57. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 57 Is everything always going smoothly? Not really…. I am convinced that for a project such as the LHC, considering the complexity uniqueness novelty difficulties will always be encountered. However, it is important that such difficulties are identified, addressed, and mastered. This is required to make a project success

61. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 61 Conclusions l The LHC is a global project with the world-wide high- energy physics community devoted to its progress and results l As a project, it is much more complex and diversified than the SPS or LEP or any other large accelerator project constructed to date Machine Advisory Committee, chaired by Prof. M. Tigner, March 2002 l No one has any doubt that it will be a great challenge for both machine to reach design luminosity and for the detectors to swallow it. l However, we have a competent and experienced team, and 30 years of accumulated knowledge from previous CERN projects has been put into the LHC design L.Evans

64. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 64 High luminosity running l Eventual goal: luminosity of 10 34 cm -2 s -1 (ATLAS & CMS) Nominal settings Beam energy (TeV)7.0 Number of particles per bunch1.15 10 11 Number of bunches per beam2808 Crossing angle (  rad) 285 Nomalised transverse emittance (  m rad) 3.75 Bunch length (cm)7.55 Beta function at IP 1, 2, 5, 8 (m)0.55,10,0.55,10 Related parameters Luminosity in IP 1 & 5 (cm -2 s -1 )10 34 Luminosity in IP 2 & 8 (cm -2 s -1 )~5 10 32 Transverse beam size at IP 1 & 5 (  m) 16.7 Transverse beam size at IP 2 & 8 (  m) 70.9 Stored energy per beam (MJ)362

65. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 65 Regular (very healthy) operation Assuming that the beams are colliding at 7 TeV Single beam lifetime larger than 100 hours….. Collision of beams with a luminosity of 10 34 cm -2 s -1 lifetime of the beam can be be dominated by collisions 10 9 protons / second lost per beam / per experiment (in IR 1 and IR 5 - high luminosity insertions)

66. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 66 Beam losses into material l Proton losses lead to particle cascades in materials l The energy deposition leads to a temperature increase l For the maximum energy deposition as a function of material there is no straightforward expression l Programs such as FLUKA are being used for the calculation of the energy deposition Magnets could quench….. beam lost - re-establish condition will take hours The material could be damaged….. melting losing their performance (mechanical strength) Repair could take several weeks

67. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 67 Quench - transition from superconducting state to normalconducting state Quenches are initiated by an energy in the order of mJ (corresponds to the energy of 1000 protons at 7 TeV) l Movement of the superconductor by several  m (friction and heat dissipation) l Beam losses l Failure in cooling To limit the temperature increase after a quench (in 1s to 5000 K) l The quench has to be detected l The energy is distributed in the magnet by force-quenching the coils using quench heaters l The magnet current has to be switched off within << 1 second

68. R.Schmidt - Villa Olmo 2005 68 2808 is a lot of bunches per beam l Filling scheme requires 12 SPS cycles per beam Each with 2,3 or 4 batches of 72 bunches l Crossing angle needed l Emittance conservation with 10 11 protons per bunch through Injecting Ramping Squeezing to 0.55m l This is going to take us a little while !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
