Voici le système de collimation du #LHC, qui protège les composants de l’accélérateur. Il nécessite une mise à niveau en prévision de la mise à niveau à haute luminosité du #LHC, qui verra le nombre de collisions délivrées aux expériences LHC augmenter d'un facteur de cinq à dix. Douze collimateurs à double faisceau seront installés dans la machine lors de la prochaine étape de mise à niveau, appelée Long Shutdown 3, prévue pour 2026-2028. Les collimateurs sont des blocs mobiles constitués de matériaux capables d'absorber des particules. En forme de mâchoires, ils se referment étroitement autour du faisceau pour nettoyer les particules qui s'écartent de leur chemin. [CERN_FR]
