description

The collimation system of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) must fulfil a number of conflicting requirements, namely it should (1) remove beam halo to reduce the detector background, (2) provide a minimum distance between collimators and collision point for muon suppression, (3) ensure collimator survival and machine protection against errand beam pulses, (4) not be excessively long, and (5) not amplify incoming trajectory fluctuations via the collimator wake fields. Two optical systems have been designed — the first linear, the second non‐linear —, which promise to meet all these requirements for the design beam energy of 1.5 TeV. We decribe the various design criteria, a preliminary performance assessment, and outstanding questions.
