Impedance analysis of any new or redesigned components of the LHC machine is vital in ensuring beam stability and for inclusion in the overall impedance budget. Geometrically complex objects, such as the LHCb VELO presented here, require confirmation via impedance wire measurements of it's electromagnetic (EM) simulations. Since the complete object is not available, a mockup of the VELO has been produced and measured electromagnetically, which in turn was validated by EM simulations. This procedure enabled reliable simulations of the entire LHCb VELO object and to verify the required simplifications done to some of the 3D EM models. |
