/ Rodin, Volodymyr (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Salvachua, Belen (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Schoofs, Philippe (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN) ; Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN) et al.
In 2023, the LHC started its Run 3 operation with $^{208}\text{PB}^{82+}$ beams at 6.8 ZTeV, with a substantially higher number of bunches compared to past runs. Several new hardware systems were used operationally for the first time with high-intensity beams, including bent crystal collimators in the betatron cleaning insertion. [...]

At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), bent crystals play a crucial role in efficiently redirecting ion-beam halo particles toward secondary collimators used for absorption. This innovative method leverages millimeter-sized crystals to achieve deflection equivalent to a magnetic field of hundreds of Tesla at LHC’s highest energies. [...]

Evaluation of Power Deposition in HL-LHC with Crystal-assisted Heavy Ion Collimation
/ Rodin, Volodymyr (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Potoine, Jean-Baptiste (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) ; Schoofs, Philippe (CERN)
The future LHC heavy-ion program, utilizing 208Pb⁸²⁺ beams at up to 7 Z TeV, is anticipated to operate with substantial intensity upgrade. During periods of short beam lifetime, a potential performance limitation may arise from secondary ions produced by electromagnetic dissociation and hadronic fragmentation in the collimators of the betatron cleaning insertion.

Collimation of 400 MJ Beams at the LHC: The First Step Towards the HL-LHC Era

An important upgrade programme is planned for the collimation system of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in order to meet the challenges of the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. A first stage of the HL-LHC upgrade was already deployed during the last LHC Long Shutdown, offering important improvements of the collimation cleaning, a significant reduction of the impedance contribution and better cleaning of collisional debris, in particular for ion-ion collisions.

Characterization of bent crystals for beam collimation with 6.8 TeV proton beams at the LHC
/ D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Aberle, Oliver (CERN) ; Abramov, Andrey (CERN) ; Bandiera, Laura (INFN, Ferrara) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN ; EPFL-ISIC, Lausanne) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) ; Demassieux, Quentin (CERN) ; Dewhurst, Kay Alana (CERN) ; Di Castro, Mario (CERN) et al.
The concept of crystal collimation exploits the peculiar properties of crystalline materials to deflect high-energy beam particles at angles orders of magnitude larger than what can be achieved with scattering by conventional materials used as primary collimators. This innovative technique is planned to be used to improve the collimation efficiency with heavy-ion beams at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its High-Luminosity upgrade (HL-LHC). [...]

During the third operational run of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, starting in 2022, the beam energy was increased to 6.8 TeV and the bunch population is planned to be pushed to unprecedented levels. Already in the first year of operation, beam stored energies up to 400 MJ were achieved. [...]

Thanks to its versatility in deploying large kicks with high efficiency, crystal channeling is being integrated more and more into modern particle accelerators. For example, at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, crystals are used, or planned to be used for collimation and fixed-target opportunities for the Physics Beyond Colliders studies. [...]

During some periods in its second physics run (2015-2018), the LHC has been operated with 208Pb⁸²⁺ ion beams at an energy of 6.37 ZTeV. The LHC is equipped with a betatron collimation system, which intercepts the transverse beam halo and protects sensitive equipment such as superconducting magnets against beam losses. [...]

Power Deposition Studies for Crystal-Based Heavy Ion Collimation in the LHC
/ Potoine, Jean-Baptiste (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Hermes, Pascal (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN) ; Wrobel, Frederic (IES, Montpellier)
The LHC heavy-ion program with 208Pb⁸²⁺ beams is foreseen to benefit from a significant intensity upgrade in 2022. A performance limitation may arise from ion fragments scattered out of the collimators in the betatron cleaning insertion, which risk quenching superconducting magnets during periods of short beam lifetime.
