New beam dump design for High-Luminosity stored beam energies

By Gabriel Banks (CERN)

In the High-Luminosity (HL) era, the maximum stored energy in each LHC beam will be approximately 4.5 times greater than in Run 1, placing correspondingly greater demands on the beam dump core materials. 

HiRadMat test completed: a crucial step for the HL-LHC beam dump

By Gabriel Banks and Nicola Solieri (CERN)

This experiment is a crucial step in validating the material selection for the HL-LHC beam dumps (TDEs) and is the product of around 12 months of ideation and planning.
