  The LHC is the world's largest and high­est en­er­gy ac­cel­er­a­tor. Two counter-ro­tat­ing beams can be ac­cel­er­at­ed up to 7 TeV and kept col­lid­ing for sev­er­al hours. The en­er­gy stored in each beam is up to 362MJ, enough to melt 500 kg of cop­per. A fast loss of a small frac­tion of the beam can cause dam­age to a su­per­con­duct­ing coil in a mag­net. Pri­ma­ry beam col­li­ma­tors, one of the most ro­bust parts of the ma­chine pro­tec­tion, can be dam­aged with about 5% of the beam. An ac­ci­dent in­volv­ing the en­tire beam is very un­like­ly but can­not be fully ex­clud­ed. Un­der­stand­ing the con­se­quences of such ac­ci­dents is fun­da­men­tal for the ma­chine pro­tec­tion. De­tailed nu­mer­i­cal sim­u­la­tions have been car­ried out to as­sess the dam­age caused by full LHC beam im­pact on solid Cu and C cylin­ders. The en­er­gy loss of the pro­tons is cal­cu­lat­ed with the FLUKA code and this data is used as input to a 2D hy­dro­dy­nam­ic code BIG2, to study the ther­mo­dy­nam­ic and hy­dro­dy­nam­ic re­sponse of the ma­te­ri­al. Since the tar­get pa­ram­e­ters change sub­stan­tial­ly dur­ing the time of im­pact, a new ap­proach of run­ning the two codes it­er­a­tive­ly, has been de­vel­oped. In this paper the re­sults are pre­sent­ed and com­pared with the pre­vi­ous stud­ies.

  High En­er­gy Den­si­ty (HED) Physics spans over wide areas of basic and ap­plied physics. Strong­ly bunched high qual­i­ty in­tense par­ti­cle beams are an ex­cel­lent tool to gen­er­ate HED mat­ter in the lab­o­ra­to­ry. Over the past decade, we have car­ried out ex­ten­sive the­o­ret­i­cal work to de­sign HED physics ex­per­i­ments for the fu­ture FAIR fa­cil­i­ty at Darm­stadt. These ex­per­i­ments will be car­ried out to study the equa­tion-of-state prop­er­ties of HED mat­ter*, in­te­ri­ors of the Giant plan­ets**, growth of hy­dro­dy­nam­ic in­sta­bil­i­ties in solids and ideal flu­ids in the lin­ear and the non-lin­ear regimes*** as well as the solid con­sti­tu­tive prop­er­ties of ma­te­ri­als of in­ter­est under dy­nam­ic con­di­tions.
