Description
In the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) era, the intensity of the circulating bunches will increase to 2.2e+11 protons per bunch, almost twice the nominal LHC value. Besides detailed studies of known and new failure cases for HL-LHC, it is also required to investigate failures beyond nominal design. A consequence of such failures can be the impact of a large number of high-energy particles in one location, resulting in a significantly increased dam- age range due to an effect called hydrodynamic tunnelling.
This phenomenon is studied by coupling FLUKA, an energy deposition code, and Autodyn, a hydrodynamic code. This paper presents the simulated evolution of the deposited energy, density, temperature and pressure for the impact of the HL-LHC beam on a graphite target. It then computes the resulting tunnelling range and finally compares the outcome with previous studies using LHC intensities.
