UFOs in the LHC: Observations, studies and extrapolations

2012

Unidentified falling objects (UFOs) are potentially a major luminosity limitation for nominal LHC operation. They are presumably micrometer sized dust particles which lead to fast beam losses when they interact with the beam. With large-scale increases and optimizations of the beam loss monitor (BLM) thresholds, their impact on LHC availability was mitigated from mid 2011 onwards. For higher beam energy and lower magnet quench limits, the problem is expected to be considerably worse, though. In 2011/12, the diagnostics for UFO events were significantly improved: dedicated experiments and measurements in the LHC and in the laboratory were made and complemented by FLUKA simulations and theore…

New Capabilities of the FLUKA Multi-Purpose Code

2022

We would like to deeply thank the CERN Knowledge Transfer and Legal Service teams for their essential and extended support. Our appreciation also goes to the FLUKA.CERN Collaboration Board members for their strong commitment.
