Abstract
| The Future Circular Collider (FCC) study foresees the construction of a 90.7 km underground ring where, as a first stage, a high-luminosity electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) is envisaged, operating at beam energies from 45.6 GeV (Z pole) to 182.5 GeV (ttbar). In the FCC-ee experimental interaction regions, various physical processes give rise to particle showers that can be detrimental to machine components as well as equipment in the tunnel, such as cables and electronics. In this work, we evaluate the impact of the synchrotron radiation (SR) emitted in the magnets and the beamstrahlung (BS) radiation from the interaction point (IP). The Monte Carlo code FLUKA is used to quantify the power deposited in key machine elements, such as the BS dump, as well as the cumulative radiation levels in the tunnel. We also examine the effect of SR absorbers in the vacuum chamber and of external tungsten shielding. The results are presented for the different operation modes, namely Z pole and ttbar. |
