The collimator mission is to clean the beam halo from e- or e+ off orbit which could damage the equipment and mainly to stop the photons generated during the bending of the beam towards the Interaction Point. These photons, if not removed, would generate a noise background that would not allow the detectors to work properly.
The spoiler serves as protection for the main collimator body as it will disperse the beam, reducing the beam energy density by multiple Coulomb scattering, in case of a direct bunch hit avoiding severe radiation damage.

BPMBPMBPM BPM
A run with the beam going through the middle of the collimator (or without the collimator) is used as reference for the next run where the collimator will be moved vertically. This run also serves to calculate the resolution of each BPM.
BPMBPMBPM BPM
The analysis will do a linear fit to the upstream and downstream BPM data separately, per each pulse (bunch) . For this fit the data is weighted using the resolution measured for each BPM.
The slopes of each linear fit are subtracted obtaining a deflection angle. This angle is transformed into V/pC units using the charge reading and the energy of the beam.
All the reconstructed kicks are averaged per each of the different collimator positions and a cubic, or linear fit of the form:
y’ = A3·y3 + A1·y + A0 or y’ = A1·y + A0 (only to collimator positions from -0.6 mm to 0.6 mm)
is done to the result. The error in the kick reconstruction at each collimator position weights the different points for the fit.
The kick factor is defined as the linear term of the fit (A1).

Resulting stress (using FLUKA and ANSYS) right after a CLIC bunch train has hit the spoiler at 0.2 mm from its bottom (or 4.29 mm from its top). Being the normal orbit of the beam at 8 mm from the bottom of the spoiler (3.51 from the top) that represents a deviation from normal orbit of 10σx.
950MPa, and tensile, which is way above tensile strength limit.
J.L. Fernandez-Hernando
The top value of stress is ~340MPa and compressive. Meaning that there will not be fracture but there will be a permanent deformation, and in this case it is a vertical deformation of 5 µm, which represents a 0.1% of the half gap. Can we live with that?
But… is a deviation of 10 sigmas even possible?
I have also calculated the stresses when the bunch train hits 0.2mm from the top instead of 4.29 mm (or 4.29 mm from the bottom instead of 0.2). Which means a deviation of “just” 4.75σx.

SiC (foam 8%) 337
SiC is a material with good thermomechanical properties. Used for LHC collimation phase 2, in F1 brakes, and aerospace applications.
It can be used as core material for CLIC spoilers, coated with metal (Be, Cu...)
Very long radiation length of the foam at 8% of nominal density allows for low energy deposition of the particle beam.
ILC and CLIC spoilers
J.L. Fernandez-Hernando
Pros and cons for using SiC foam as core material in CLIC energy spoilers covered by 0.05Xo (in the z direction) of beryllium:
Pros:
• It will not matter the depth the beam hits as it will always see 0.05Xo of beryllium (the contribution of the SiC foam can be negligible).
• Save some beryllium.
Cons:
• The junction of two different materials is a complicate thing, mechanically speaking. The different thermal properties can lead to dislocation or fracture of the junction when the bunch train hits. A single material spoiler is more “whole” in that aspect.

Nominal bunch charge on ALICE is 80pC.
The bunches are produced in trains lasting from ~10ns to 100ms and the train repetition frequency can vary from 1 to 20Hz.
Within the train, the bunches are separated by 12.3ns that corresponds to the laser pulse repetition frequency of 81.25MHz.

EMMA – The first non scaling FFAG
A FFAG (Fixed Field Alternating Gradient) is a type of accelerator in which the magnetic field in the bending magnets is constant during acceleration. This means the particle beam will move radially outwards as its momentum increases.
A linear non-scaling FFAG is one in which a quantity known as the betatron tune is allowed to vary unchecked. In a conventional synchrotron such a variation would result in loss of the beam. However, in EMMA the beam will cross these resonances so rapidly that their effect should not be seen.
EMMA (Electron Machine for Many Applications) accelerates electrons from 10 to 20 MeV.

Example of the signals on a BLM sensor for different dipole currents. The base plateau moves away from zero and needs to be subtracted from the top signal plateau in order to get the real reading value.
To test and characterise the BLM sensors in ALICE a test was done using BLM4 (in ST1), BLM5 (in ARC1) and BLM6 in ST2). Varying the currents on DIP-03 of ST1 and DIP-01, DIP-02 and DIP-03 of ARC1.
The beam loss induced radiation is detected by a series of long ionization chambers (LIC) distributed around the machine. These chambers consist of an air-filled coaxial cable (Andrew HJ4-50, 50 Ω) with a 1 kV potential to attract the ionised gas particles forming a current flow. This current, although very small, can be measured to give an indication of beam loss.
Linearity check on the BLM response
Several measurements were taken for BLM4 whilst maintaining the current setting for ST1 DIP-03 at 20 A. The train length was then incremented from 1 µs to 10 µs to vary the charge the BLM sensor would see.
Example of a test on the ARC-01 BLM sensor. Analysis of the signal for different DIP-01 currents
When we vary the current in DIP-01 we have a high increase of signal which decreases as we move away from nominal. This is due to the beam hitting less beam pipe and less accelerator components such as quadrupoles, sextupoles, screen vacuum vessels, etc. In the lower end of dipole current settings we start to see an increment of BLM signal, which is probably due to backscattering off the lead shielding surrounding the external face of this bending section.

ITER – Quench Loop prototypeThe Quench Loop main target is to protect the ITER superconducting (sc) magnet system composed of a total number of 48 magnets: 18 Toroidal Field magnets, 6 Poloidal Field magnets, 6 Central Solenoid magnets and 18 Correction Coil magnets.
In order to assure magnet protection throughout the different operational phases, several actors are required: the quench detection system which mission consists of detecting any imminent quench in one of the sc coils, the fast discharge units (FDUs) to extract the energy stored in the magnets, power converters that feed the magnets with current, and finally the central interlock system for magnet protection based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) technology.
The quench detectors, the FDUs and power converters can open the Quench Loop if they detect a fault or see the status of the Quench Loop and act accordingly.
