  4. UFOs in the LHC • Since July 2010, 35 fast loss events led to a beam dump.18 in 2010, 17 in 2011.Over the two years: 13 around MKIs. 6 dumps by experiments. 1 at 450 GeV. • Typical characteristics: • Loss duration: about 10 turns • Oftenunconventionallosslocations (e.g. in thearc) • The events are believed to be due to (Unidentified) Falling Objects (UFOs). Spatialand temporal lossprofileof UFO on 23.08.2010

  5. Below Threshold UFOs • In 2011: 16,000 candidate UFOs below dump threshold found. • Measured distribution of BLM signal is consistent with measured dust distribution in SM12/Bat113.Linear dependency of UFO signal on particle volume shown by N. Fuster et al., IPAC’11, MOPS017. 4513 arc UFOs (≥cell 12) at 3.5 TeVwith signal RS01 > 1∙10-3Gy/s. courtesy of J. M. Jimenez

  6. Spatial UFO Distribution • UFOs occur all around the machine. • Many UFOs around MKIs. • Some locations (especially right of Pt. 3) with increased number of UFOs:25R3 B2: 144 UFOs 19R3 B1: 126 UFOs. 28R7 B2: 118 UFOs. From MC: Probability to observe for one beam in one cell at least 40 events < 10-6. (3164 events in B2, 360 arc cells) Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5 Pt.6 Pt.7 Pt.8 MKI MKI 7784 candidate UFOs at 3.5 TeV.

MKI UFOs • 11 dumps due to MKI UFOs in 2011.10 dumps at MKI.D5L2. 8 dumps at 3.5 TeV. 2 dumps during stable beams. • In total 2340 UFOs around MKIs 847 in Pt.2 and 1493 in Pt.8. • Most events within 30min after the last injection. Many events within a few hundred ms after MKI pulse. • First event 3ms after MKI pulse. Compared to 62ms for free fall from aperture. Could be explained by negatively charged particles.(F. Zimmermann at LIBD, 29th Nov. 2011) 1236 UFOs around MKIs for fills lasting at least 3 hours after last injection.

  15. 25ns Operation • Heavy UFO activityduring 25ns MDs (450 GeV). In 9.1/13.3 (B1/B2) hourswithat least 1·1013protons per beam:159 MKI UFOs.22 arc UFOs. normal rate < 0.5 UFOs/hour. (E. Nebot, IPAC‘11, TUPC136) • UFO cascadeobserved in 30L3 B2 (450 GeV) 12 UFOs at same locationwithin 20 seconds.

  16. Energy Dependency • UFO amplitude:At7TeV about3 timeshigherthanat3.5TeV (fromwirescans).Complementary FLUKA results will be available for Chamonix. • BLM thresholds: Arc thresholds at 7TeV are about a factor 5 smaller than at 3.5TeV. • UFO rate: Noenergydependencywouldbeconsistentwithobservations.

  19. Plans andSuggestionsfor 2012 • Betterlocalizationofarc UFOs byinstallationof additional mobile monitors in onearccell. 80µs time resolution in studybuffer. • FLUKA simulationsforarc UFOs.Underway, firstresultsexpectedfor Chamonix. • Betterunderstandingofquenchlimit:Increase BLM thresholdsfor UFO type lossesto probe quenchlimit.Wirescannerquenchtest. • Study impact on 25ns operation.25ns high intensity(> 1000 bunches) beam forseveralhoursat flat top. • MKI UFO MD.Study MKI asymmetry, particledynamics, 25ns, e-cloudcorrelation. • Developmitigationstrategyfor MKIs.E.g. different cleaningofceramictubes, new design ofinnerstructure.

  20. Summary • 17 beam dumps due to UFOs in 2011 (18 in 2010).Due to large-scale increases/optimization of the BLM thresholds and UFO scrubbing, the impact of UFOs could be mitigated in the second half of 2011. • 16’000 candidate UFOs below threshold detectedEvent rate for arc UFOs decreased by a factor 5 throughout 2011. • In 2011 large effort to understand UFOs, especially at MKIs.Improved diagnostics, MDs, lab measurements, FLUKA simulations, theoretical studies. • For 2012: No sign that the situation should become much worse. • After LS1: Aggressive scaling with energy observed/expected. Studies in 2012 needed for better understanding, extrapolation and mitigation.
