UFO Dumps
• 18 beam dumps due to UFOs in 2010.
• UFOs are fast beam losses (loss duration some 10 turns)
• UFOs occur often at unconventional loss locations (e.g. in the arc)
• 11 beam dumps due to UFOs in 2011.
• 8 in injection region (2010: 2)
• 1 dump at 450 GeV. (6.6.2011)

UFOs Detection in 2011
• 2010: 113 UFOs below threshold found in logging database. (E. Nebot)
• 2011: Online UFO detection from live BLM data.Losses (RS 4) of two BLMs in 40m are above 1E-4 Gy/s.RS 2 / RS 1 > 0.55 (UFO average : 0.89).RS 3 / RS 2 > 0.45 (UFO average: 0.79).
• Over 8000 triggers so far.
• From subset of about 300 manually verified triggers: About 65% are UFOs, 15% ambiguous cases, 20% are false triggers.
• For most analysis additional cut. E.g.:Only flat top UFOs, loss of UFO BLM (RS05) > 2 10∙ -4 Gy/s (≈ 2 ‰ of
threshold).74 events remain of subset, of which 71 are clear UFOs (96%) and 3 are
ambiguous cases.

Peak Signal
• No clear dependency of peak loss on intensity.
(cf. E.B. Holzer at Evian Dec. 2010)
• No clear dependency of peak loss on bunch intensity.

11LHC Beam Operation CommitteeJune, 14th 2011
Loss Duration
• Tloss: Given by fitting single function (Gaussian up to t=Tloss, 1/t afterwards) to data.
• Loss duration: UFOs have the tendency to become faster with increasing intensity.

UFOs around Injection Region
• 679 UFOs around the MKIs caused 9 beam dumps.
Most of the UFOs around the MKIs occur before going tostable beams.
18LHC Beam Operation CommitteeJune, 14th 2011
MKI UFOs During Scrubbing
• Typical scenario for MKI UFOs during scrubbing: Loss spikes occur in first few minutes after an injection and go away then.

Next Steps
• Improve diagnostics.Acquisition of BLM Study Buffer for UFO events.Successful test during technical stop.
• Better localization of MKI UFOs.Additional BLMs during next Technical Stop.
• MD on MKI UFOs.
• Better understanding of Quench Limit.
• Additional Simulations (F. Zimmermann, Y. Levinsen)
• Mitigation: Further increase of BLM thresholds...But: For higher energies thresholds need to be decreased.
24LHC Beam Operation CommitteeJune, 14th 2011
Summary
• 11 UFO related beam dumps in 2011 so far (18 in 2010).
• Over 5000 UFOs below dump threshold detected in 2011 so far.Most events at 3.5 TeV.UFO rate constant at 10 UFOs/hour at 3.5 TeV.
• Many UFOs around injection kicker magnetsDuring scrubbing: increased UFO rate after each injection.Increased UFO rate after MKI Flashover.
• Next steps: UFO MD, Improve the diagnostics, better understanding of quench limits, learn from simulations.

• UFO rate proportional to intensity.
• No dependency of peak signal on intensity. (cf. E.B. Holzer at Evian Dec. 2010)
• Loss duration has tendency to become faster with higher intensity. (cf. E.B. Holzer at Evian Dec. 2010)

Fast Loss Event Rate
• After the increase of the BLM Threshold by a factor of 3 there were about 4.1 times less beam dumps due to fast loss events.
31LHC Beam Operation CommitteeJune, 14th 2011
UFO Algorithm
1. Losses (RS 4) of at least two BLMs within 40m are above 1E-4 Gy/s.
2. A BLM is not taken into account ifIt is at a TCTIt is in IP3, IP6 or IP7RS 2 / RS 1 > 0.55 (UFO average : 0.89).RS 3 / RS 2 > 0.45 (UFO average: 0.79).
3. The acquisition is skipped for a few seconds after injection warning and beam wire scan timing event.

From simulations:
• Dust particle will be positively ionized and be repelled from the beam.
Beam intensity: 2.3 10∙ 12 protons, Al object.
• Loss duration of a few ms.Losses become shorter for larger beam intensities.

UFO size
• Two extreme cases:• UFO much larger than beam: the beam is imaging the UFO.
• UFO much smaller than beam: the UFO is imaging the beam.
Most UFO shapes are Gaussian, thus most UFOs are expected to be smaller than the beam.
• From FLUKA simulations: size ≈ 1 μm.(cf. M. Sapinski, F. Zimmermann at Chamonix 2011)
