Beam-induced surface modifications as a critical source of heat loads in the Large Hadron Collider

Sections of the Large Hadron Collider generate more secondary electrons, which induce heat load problems and limit collider performance. Here, beamline components are examined, surface modifications responsible for enhanced secondary electron emission are identified, and curative solutions are propo...
