In high-energy particle accelerators, circulating particle beams with high intensity interact electromagnetically with their surroundings (i.e., metallic vacuum chambers of various geometries). These electromagnetic interactions, which are typically described through the concept of beam-coupling impedance, can represent a serious issue in terms of stability of the particle beam and heating on the accelerator structures.

Overview of beam intensity issues and mitigations in the CERN-SPS fast wire scanners
/ Veness, Raymond (CERN) ; Guerrero, Ana (CERN) ; Perez Fontenla, Ana Teresa (CERN) ; Harrison, Anthony (CERN) ; Salvant, Benoit (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN) ; Antuono, Chiara (CERN) ; Vollinger, Christine (CERN) ; de la Fuente, Elena (CERN) ; Carra, Federico (CERN) et al.
A new design of fast wire scanner was installed in the CERN injector complex as part of the upgrades linked to the High-Luminosity LHC Project. Initial operations with these beams were good, but during the planned intensity ramp-up one early 2023, all four SPS scanners failed at the same time. [...]

Impedance and thermal studies of the CERN SPS wire scanners and mitigation of wire heating

All wires of the four CERN SPS rotational wirescanners broke when increasing the beam intensity towards the target for the LHC Injector Upgrade in 2023. Impedance and thermal studies were immediately launched, with simulations and measurements indicating that beam induced heating from resonant modes on the thin wire could be sufficient to cause these breakages.

Understanding of the LHC warm vacuum module heating

During the third run of the Large Hadron Collider in 2023, which had the highest intensity bunch population compared to previous runs, increased losses attributed to pressure spikes within a warm vacuum sector triggered a beam dump. Subsequent inspections revealed localised annealing and plasticisation of the tension spring in the sliding contact radio-frequency finger module, alongside traces of vapour deposition on the various module components with the stainless-steel spring material.

A Python Package to Compute Beam-Induced Heating in Particle Accelerators and Applications
/ Sito, Leonardo (CERN) ; Giordano, Francesco (CERN) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) ; Salvant, Benoit (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN) ; de la Fuente, Elena (CERN)
High-energy particle beams interact electromagnetically with their surroundings when they travel inside an accelerator. These interactions may cause beam-induced heating of the accelerator’s components, which could eventually lead to outgassing, equipment degradation and physical damage. [...]

Beam Performance with the LHC Injectors Upgrade

The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project was put in place between 2010 and 2021 to increase the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era (ca. 2040).

In the field of accelerator physics, it is crucial to account for heating caused by the passage of high-intensity beams into accelerator components. This phenomenon is known as radio frequency (RF) beam-induced heating (BIH) and requires, other than an accurate design stage, to constantly monitor temperature-related parameters during the accelerator operations.
