AbstractDuring the LHC Ion Run in 2023, the ALICE detector observed a high level of background that prevented efficient data taking. This background was caused by different ion species generated in the betatronic collimation region that were intercepted by the Tertiary collimator near ALICE Interaction Point. The mass-to-charge ratio of these generated ions causes them to follow a different trajectory to the main ion beam, similar to off momentum particles. Since this is a single-pass effect, the closed dispersion does not describe the trajectory of these ions. Instead, the single-pass or one-pass dispersion is the relevant quantity to measure. In this paper two methods for reconstructing the single-pass dispersion based on the closed orbit and optics data are described. The methods are validated through simulations and applied to real data from the LHC 2023 Ion Run.
