PLIC signal voltages in the SLAC accelerator scaled to the SLC arcs
Description:
To detect conditions and to forestall events in which an electron or positron beam might otherwise melt a hole in its SLC arc vacuum chamber, and to provide information on the magnitude and location of these and other, less harmful, beam losses, it is planned to install two PLIC cables along each arc, one on each side of the magnet string. A similar system (but with one long ion chamber) has been in use at SLAC for 20 years. Electromagnetic shower calculations have been made to estimate the ion…
