The LHC beam loss measurement system is mainly used to trigger the beam abort in case a magnet coil quench level is approached. The predicted heat deposition in the superconducting coils of the magnets have been determined by particle shower simulation codes, while the liquid helium cooling capacity of the system has been both simulated and measured. The results have been combined to determine the abort thresholds. Measurements of the energy depositions of lost protons from the initial beams in the LHC are used to determine the accuracy of the beam abort threshold settings. The simulation predictions are reviewed and compared with the measurement results. |
