New Post-Collision Line Design

The 1.5 TeV Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) beams, with a total power of 14 MW per beam, are disrupted at the interaction point due to the very strong beam-beam effect. As a result, some 3.5 MW reach each main dump in form of beamstrahlung photons. About 0.5 MW of e+e- pairs with a very broad energy spectrum need to be disposed of along the post-collision line while separating the various beams by charge for beam diagnostics purposes. The Post-collision line has been optimised in order to reduce radiation damage to magnets, the number of magnets required and the stray fields to the incoming beam line
