Geometric efficiency of a two-stage fully absorbing collimation system in single-pass linacs

Collimators are commonly used in particle accelerators to prevent particles traveling at large amplitudes from hitting the vacuum chamber. We derive here, for a single-pass linac, a one-dimensional analytical expression for the efficiency of a two-stage fully absorbing collimation system (CS), based...
