About
The uncontrolled release of even a small fraction of the energy stored in the beams or magnet systems of a high-energy particle accelerator can cause severe damage to accelerator and detector components, potentially resulting in significant downtime. This necessitates a careful evaluation of possible failure scenarios and their mitigation through passive and active protection systems. This lecture will introduce the field of machine protection, providing an overview of the sophisticated machine protection system implemented in the LHC and illustrating failure cases from existing and future accelerators. It will also present insights from material damage tests performed at CERN to assess the consequences of failures beyond design.
