| Abstract |
The linear accelerator of ESS will produce a 5 MW proton beam. Beam of this power must be strictly monitored by a specialized Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) System to detect any abnormal losses and to ensure that operational losses do not lead to excessive activation. A long series of beam loss simulations was performed using MARS Monte Carlo code system in order to optimize the number and setting mounting locations of the detectors for best coverage, distinguishability and sensitivity. Simulations anticipated multiple possible beam loss scenarios resulting in different loss patterns. The results of energy deposition in air in the linac tunnel in multiple locations were analysed in several different ways. Incorporated methods varied from simple brute force approach to more sophisticated singular value decomposition based algorithms, all resulting in detector layout proposals. Locations selected for BLMs were evaluated for all methods.
