Thermostructural characterization and structural elastic property optimization of novel high luminosity LHC collimation materials at CERN

The CERN Large Hadron Collider is currently being upgraded to operate at a stored beam energy of 680 MJ through the High Luminosity upgrade. The LHC performance is dependent on the functionality of beam collimation systems, essential for safe beam cleaning and machine protection. A dedicated beam ex...
