The interaction of dust particles with the LHC proton beams accounts for a major fraction of
irregular beam loss events observed in LHC physics operation. The events cease after a few …

We present first experimental results showing that single dust particles on a dielectric
surface are mobilized and lofted due to exposure to an electron beam or ultraviolet radiation …

The FCC-ee will combine high stored beam energy with small vertical emittance. The loss of
only a small part of the beam into accelerator equipment, collimators or passive absorbers …

We present a laboratory study of photoelectric charging of dust particles and their lofting on
a conducting surface in the presence of external electric fields. Insulating particles with …

Dust particles interacting with the proton beams have caused many thousand beam-loss
events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), some of which led to premature beam …

All high-energy beam dump events at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are analysed to
verify correct functioning of the Machine Protection System and to allow early identification of …

Since the start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), dustinduced beam loss events resulted
in more than hundred premature beam aborts and more than ten dipole quenches during …

Dust particles with typically tens of micrometers radius are believed to be the cause of
millisecond beam loss spikes observed at the LHC. These dust particles have become …

In the high luminosity era of the LHC, the energy stored in the two beams will nearly double
as compared with the design value of the current LHC and the beta functions will …

The presence of dust particulates inside the vacuum space of particle accelerators has been
linked to a variety of issues: At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), beam loss events have …
