Functional requirements - functional study The HiLumi-LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade calls for a new tungsten-based shielding system to lower the debris coming from atomic collisions towards the cold masses of the superconducting triplet magnets (point 1 and 5). Therefore, the new beam screen has to ensure: -Thermal shielding of the cold bore from beam induced heat loads (1 W of heat on CB = 1kW of cooling energy, Grobner) -Vacuum stability -Mechanical resistance to magnet quench -Temperature in operation conditions between 40 and 60 K -Lowering beam impedance -Compliancy with beam optical requirements
