IPAC Abstract • UFOs in the LHC • T. Baer, M. Barnes, N. Fuster Martinez (U. Valencia), N. Garrel, B. Goddard,E.B. Holzer, A. Lechner, V. Mertens, E. Nebot del Busto, A. Nordt, J. Uythoven,J. Wenninger, F. Zimmermann, … • One of the major known limitations for nominal operation of the Large Hadron Collider is so called UFOs (Unidentified Falling Objects). UFOs are thought to be micrometer to millimeter sized dust particles which lead to fast beam losses, with a duration of the order of 10 turns, when they interact with the beam. The first UFO events were observed in July 2010 and they have caused 35 protection beam dumps since then. In 2011, the diagnostics for such events were significantly improved, dedicated experiments and measurements in the LHC and in the laboratory were made and complemented by simulations and theoretical studies. This allows estimates of the properties, dynamics and production mechanisms of the dust particles. The state of knowledge, extrapolations to nominal LHC parameters and mitigation strategies are presented.

UFOs Detection in 2011 • 2010: 113 UFOs below threshold found in logging database. (E. Nebot) • 2011: Online UFO detection from live BLM data.Losses (RS 4) of two BLMs in 40m are above 1E-4 Gy/s.RS 2 / RS 1 > 0.55 (UFO average : 0.89). RS 3 / RS 2 > 0.45 (UFO average: 0.79). • Over 10000 triggers so far. • From subset of about 300 manually verified triggers: About 65% are UFOs, 15% ambiguous cases, 20% are false triggers. • For most analysis additional cut. E.g.: Only flat top UFOs, loss of UFO BLM (RS05) > 2∙10-4Gy/s (≈ 2 ‰ of threshold). 74 events remain of subset, of which 71 are clear UFOs (96%) and 3 are ambiguous cases.

UFO size • Two extreme cases: • UFO much larger than beam: the beam is imaging the UFO. • UFO much smaller than beam: the UFO is imaging the beam. Most UFO shapes are Gaussian, thus most UFOs are expected to be smaller than the beam. • From FLUKA simulations: size ≈ 1 μm. (cf. M. Sapinski, F. Zimmermann at Chamonix 2011) courtesy ofJ. Wenninger(cf. MPP 25.03.2011)
