Description

The integrated luminosities in each of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have reached above 120 fb-1 during the proton run of 2024, the highest annual values since the beginning of the LHC operation. The same is true for LHCb, with over 10 fb-1 of integrated luminosity reached during proton operation in 2024. Such high levels of integrated luminosity are associated with high levels of radiation around the experiment locations, including hundreds of meters of tunnel on both sides of the interaction point, where beam losses driven by the luminosity production still occur. The ability of the LHC systems to operate in the radiation environment of the machine is analyzed in this contribution. Each year, radiation effects on electronic components installed around the LHC lead to premature beam dumps, causing accelerator down-time and loss of physics production. The number of radiation-induced beam dumps of the proton run 2024 per integrated luminosity has been comparable to previous years in LHC Run 3, and improved compared to LHC Run 2. However, due to the large integrated luminosity of LHCb, a large part of the events have been observed there, and some mitigation strategies to minimize such events are discussed.
