An updated HL-LHC halo population model based on recent experimental measurements / Rakic, Milica (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Hermes, Pascal Dominik (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
The transverse beam halo population in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been found to carry a significant fraction of the total stored beam energy, potentially reaching several percent. With the anticipated increase in beam brightness for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), this poses an increasing risk to machine safety, particularly during abrupt orbit shifts or critical component failures.
