Description
Collimation systems are installed for different purposes, and different considerations have to be made depending on the application and the machine. This talk gives an overview of some design constraints that have to be taken into account when designing collimation systems, for example for the LHC at CERN. Examples of different considerations include betatron and momentum collimation, movable versus fixed devices, multi-stage and choice of materials. Some of the simulation tools used at CERN will also be briefly mentioned, as well as techniques for monitoring beam losses.
