Dynamics of the interaction of dust particles with the LHC beam

Micrometer-sized dust particles present in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe are believed to have caused many thousands of sporadic beam loss events around the LHC. These so-called unidentified falling objects (UFOs) have been under continuous study since the start of high intensity beam ope...
