Dust-induced beam losses in the cryogenic arcs of the CERN Large Hadron Collider

The interaction of dust particles with the LHC proton beams accounts for a major fraction of irregular beam loss events observed in LHC physics operation. The events cease after a few beam revolutions because of the expulsion of dust particles from the beam once they become ionized in the transverse...
