Abstract
Abstract
In view of the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN, different materials were investigated for the upgrade of the LHC collimation system. A key objective was to determine how the jaws of the new collimators could be manufactured to meet the demanding requirements of HL-LHC, such as thermo-mechanical robustness and stability, beam coupling impedance, Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV), etc. During the Long-Shutdown 2 (LS2), five primary and ten secondary low-impedance collimators were already produced using novel materials. For LS3, in addition to more secondary collimators, the production and installation of other types of devices, including tertiaries and physics-debris collimators, is planned. This paper details the final mate-rial choices and rationale for each collimator family.
