Measurements of heavy ion beam losses from collimation
The collimation efficiency for ^{208}Pb^{82+} ion beams in the LHC is predicted to be lower than requirements. Nuclear fragmentation and electromagnetic dissociation in the primary collimators create fragments with a wide range of Z/A ratios, which are not intercepted by the secondary collimators bu...
