Beam-related machine protection for the CERN Large Hadron Collider experiments

Beam-related machine protection for the CERN Large Hadron Collider experiments

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva stores 360 MJ per beam of protons at the top machine energy. This amount of energy storage presents a considerable challenge to the machine protection systems designed to protect both the machine and the six LHC experiments. This paper provides an overview o...
