Machine Protection for the European XFEL — •Lars Fröhlich1,2, Igor Cheviakov1, Sven Karstensen1, Timmy Lensch1, Martin Staack1, Jörg Thomas1, and Petr Vetrov1 — 1DESY, Hamburg, Germany — 2University of Hamburg, Germany
The planned European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) linear accelerator will bring an electron beam to an energy of up to 20 GeV. With a designated average beam power of 600 kW and beam spot sizes down to few micrometers, the machine will hold serious damage potential. Therefore, an active Machine Protection System (MPS) has to ensure safe operation by detecting beam losses and the failure of critical accelerator components. The talk presents an outline of the planned MPS architecture and its subsystems.
