Booster Collimator System
•Unshielded copper secondary collimators were installed in summer 2002, with a plan to shield them later.
•Due the the unexpected extent of the shielding and the difficulty of working in the area, the design was ultimately abandoned as unacceptable.
•Collimators were removed during the January shutdown.
•A new collimator system is being designed with steel secondary jaws fixed within a movable shielding body.
•Hope to have then ready before summer shutdown.
Basic Idea…
A scraping foil deflects the orbit of halo particles…
…and they are absorbed by thick collimators in the next periods.
