UFO Dumps
• 18 beam dumps due to UFOs in 2010.• UFOs are fast beam losses
(loss duration some 10 turns)
• UFOs occur often at unconventional loss locations (e.g. in the arc)
• 11 beam dumps due to UFOs in 2011.• 8 in injection region (2010: 2)
• 1 dump at 450 GeV. (6.6.2011)

UFOs Detection in 2011
• 2010: 113 UFOs below threshold found in logging database. (E. Nebot)
• 2011: Online UFO detection from live BLM data.Losses (RS 4) of two BLMs in 40m are above 1E-4 Gy/s.RS 2 / RS 1 > 0.55 (UFO average : 0.89).RS 3 / RS 2 > 0.45 (UFO average: 0.79).
• Over 8000 triggers so far.
• From subset of about 300 manually verified triggers: About 65% are UFOs, 15% ambiguous cases, 20% are false triggers.
• For most analysis additional cut. E.g.:Only flat top UFOs, loss of UFO BLM (RS05) > 2 10∙ -4 Gy/s (≈ 2 ‰ of
threshold).74 events remain of subset, of which 71 are clear UFOs (96%) and 3 are
ambiguous cases.

Loss Duration
• Tloss: Given by fitting single function (Gaussian up to t=Tloss, 1/t afterwards) to data.
• Loss duration: UFOs have the tendency to become faster with increasing intensity.

Next Steps
• Improve diagnostics.Acquisition of BLM Study Buffer for UFO events.Successful test during technical stop.
• Better localization of MKI UFOs.Additional BLMs during next Technical Stop.
• MD on MKI UFOs.
• Better understanding of Quench Limit.
• Additional Simulations (F. Zimmermann, Y. Levinsen)
• Mitigation: Further increase of BLM thresholds...But: For higher energies thresholds need to be decreased.

Summary
• 11 UFO related beam dumps in 2011 so far (18 in 2010).
• Over 5000 UFOs below dump threshold detected in 2011 so far.Most events at 3.5 TeV.UFO rate constant at 10 UFOs/hour at 3.5 TeV.
• Many UFOs around injection kicker magnetsDuring scrubbing: increased UFO rate after each injection.Increased UFO rate after MKI Flashover.
• Next steps: UFO MD, Improve the diagnostics, better understanding of quench limits, learn from simulations.

1. Losses (RS 4) of at least two BLMs within 40m are above 1E-4 Gy/s.
2. A BLM is not taken into account ifIt is at a TCTIt is in IP3, IP6 or IP7RS 2 / RS 1 > 0.55 (UFO average : 0.89).RS 3 / RS 2 > 0.45 (UFO average: 0.79).
3. The acquisition is skipped for a few seconds after injection warning and beam wire scan timing event.

UFO size
• Two extreme cases:• UFO much larger than beam: the beam is imaging the UFO.
• UFO much smaller than beam: the UFO is imaging the beam.
Most UFO shapes are Gaussian, thus most UFOs are expected to be smaller than the beam.
• From FLUKA simulations: size ≈ 1 μm.(cf. M. Sapinski, F. Zimmermann at Chamonix 2011)
