Collimation simulations for the FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Giovanni Iadarola, Félix Simon Carlier, Milica Rakic

The collimation system of the Future Circular Collider, operating with leptons (FCC-ee), must protect not only the experiments against backgrounds, but also the machine itself from beam losses. With a 17.8 MJ stored energy of the electron and positron beam ...
