Description
Heavily populated transverse beam tails can be an issue for the operation and the performance of present and future particle colliders. In this respect, the tailoring of beam distributions through transverse halo scraping is a powerful technique for limiting beam losses and maximizing beam lifetime. By doing so, a portion of the bunch intensity is sacrificed, to the benefit of a reduced bunch transverse emittance. In this paper, we assess the impact on the luminosity performance of the LHC using such bunches, based on an analytical approach supported by numerical integration. In particular, we quantify the interplay between beam scraping, bunch intensity loss, transverse emittance reduction and collider luminosity performance.
