In the next years the luminosity of the LHC will be significantly increased. This will require a much higher accuracy of beam profile measurement than actually achievable by the current wire scanner. The new performance demands a wire travelling speed up to 20 m s−1 and…
Dynamical Models of a Wire Scanner
2016 – Ana Barjau, Juan Herranz, Bernd Dehning.
Vib. Acoust. Oct 2016, 138(5): 051012 (17 pages).
The accuracy of the beam profile measurements achievable by the current wire scanners at CERN is limited by the vibrations of their mechanical parts. In particular, the vibrations of the carbon wire represent the major source of wire position uncertainty which limits the beam profile measurement accuracy. In the coming years, due to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity upgrade…
