At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), proton and heavy-ion beams are accelerated to multi-TeV energies to be collided for the needs of the scientific community around the world. The total stored beam energy of tens to hundreds of MJ creates potential threats to the hard- ware around the collider in case of uncontrolled beam loss. Energy deposited by lost particles may damage impacted elements or cause the LHC magnets to lose their superconducting state, creating unnecessary downtime and decreasing physics production efficiency. To protect the machine a multi-stage collimation
