The collimation system for the International Linear Collider (ILC) consists of a spoiler and an absorber. The collimator's mission is to clean the beam from unwanted particles and photons that could interfere with detector measurements. This article highlights the key tasks and achievements related to the design and testing of the ILC collimators.

The ILC collimation system is composed of a spoiler and an absorber. The collimator mission is to clean the beam halo from e- or e+ off orbit which could damage the equipment, but mainly to clean the beam from photons generated during the bending of the beam towards the Interaction Point. These photons, if not removed, would generate a noise background that would not allow the detectors to work properly. Task 5.3 Programme Highlights • T480 data analysis/test beam • Mafia/GdfidL simulations of T480 Collimators • Beam damage simulations • Fluka/Geant4 • Ansys

10mm low mass mounting target area Cu Ti reference pin hole guide channels pin hole x y Material damage test beam at ATF • The purpose of the first test run at ATF is to: • Make simple measurements of the size of the damage region after individual beam impacts on the collimator test piece. This will permit a direct validation of FLUKA/ANSYS simulations of properties of the materials under test. • Allow us to commission the proposed test system of vacuum vessel, multi-axis mover, beam position and size monitoring. • Validate the mode of operation required for ATF in these tests. • Ensure that the radiation protection requirements can be satisfied before proceeding with a second phase proposal. • Assuming a successful first phase test, the test would be to measure the shock waves within the sample by studying the surface motion with a laser-based system, such as VISAR (or LDV), for single bunch and multiple bunches at approximate ILC bunch spacing. sample holder

Variation of GdfidL predictions of transverse kick as a function of mesh resolution, for T480 collimator 3 (depth 1m), for σz = 1.0mm at an offset from electrical centre of 0.4mm. GdfidL calculated kick for collimator 3 (depth 1m) for z = 1.0mm: KF= 4.09 ± 0.80V/pC/mm J. Smith, C. Beard A. Bungau, R.
