| Abstract |
The European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently under construction, will be a neutron source based on 5 MW, 2 GeV superconducting proton linac. Among other beam instrumentation systems, this high intensity linac requires a Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system. An important function of the BLM system is to protect the linac from beam-induced damage by detecting unacceptably high beam loss and promptly inhibiting beam production. In addition to protection functionality, the system is expected to provide the means to monitor the beam losses during all modes of operation with the aim to avoid excessive machine activation. This paper focuses on the plans and recent results of the beam loss studies based on Monte Carlo simulations in order to refine the ESS BLM detector requirements by providing the estimations on expected particle fluxes and their spectra at detector locations. Furthermore, the planned detector technologies for the ESS BLM system will be presented.
