Endcap Shielding• Design Goals
• Shield the endcap beam pipe so maintenance workers are not irradiated
• Estimate 2 cm of Pb is sufficient – 2.5 tonnes• Easy to install – workers are not irradiated
• Protect the beam pipe from maintenance workers and falling objects
• Do not interfere with maintenance work on the chambers etc.
• Status• Conceptual design – beginning detailed drawings• Propose for Pb-free installation in LS1 (no beam
pipe!)

Length and weight comparison of YE1-YE2 shielding and YE2-YE3 shielding
This view represents length but not shape of shielding
YE1 closed and YE2 at 3.05m Physical gap is 2556mmYE2 at 3.9m and YE3 at 7.64m (delta 3740)
Physical gap is 3673mm

Mounting and guidance concept
Guide rods extend out 200mm from the spacer ring
Permanent shielding mounts provide horizontal surface for feet to rest

Step 2 Assembly is lowered until it is low enough for extension into the spacer rings

Step 3 assembly is extended into the spacer rings and the load is transferred from the crane to the spacer rings
