A new compact 2 stage collimation unit is being designed to be installed in the Booster Long Straight L08. This collimator will be in addition to the already installed collimators at Long 6 and Long 7. A 2 stage collimation system was designed and installed in Booster in the early 2000’s with a Horizontal and Vertical primary thin collimator in Booster period 5 and two secondaries installed in Long 6, and one secondary collimator installed in Long 7. This collimation system is currently being used as a single stage collimator system (i.e. the primary collimators are NOT used).
The new collimation system will be used in conjunction with the existing collimators to reduce the load on the existing collimator system and as a test for a compact 2 stage collimation (2SC) system that will fit within a single straight section.
