Beam loss handling at the SSC

A scraper/collimation system is required to localize the beam loss in the Collider of the Superconducting Super Collider to a few predefined locations and by doing so to minimize the irradiation of superconducting magnets, to sustain favorable background conditions in the Interaction Regions (IR), and to reduce the impact of radiation on other equipment, personnel, and the environment. Results of full-scale simulation are presented for various systematic and accidental beam loss.<
