Abstract	It has been pro­posed to use a hol­low elec­tron lens with the LHC beam col­li­ma­tion sys­tem*. The hol­low elec­tron beam would be used as a beam scrap­er and po­si­tioned at a clos­er σ than the pri­ma­ry col­li­ma­tors to in­crease the halo par­ti­cle dif­fu­sion rate strik­ing the pri­maries. In this paper we use mul­ti-turn beam track­ing sim­u­la­tions to an­a­lyze the ef­fec­tive­ness of such a lens when in­te­grat­ed into the LHC col­li­ma­tion sys­tem.
