Description
A sophisticated beam loss monitoring system will be of crucial importance for any future high energy lepton accelerator, such as the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Depending on the position in the machine, different detector technologies should be applied to fulfil the requirements in terms of the spatial and time resolution, dynamic range and radiation hardness of the device. The requirements summarised in this paper have been determined by Monte Carlo simulations of beam loss at CLIC. Cherenkov fibers are considered as a possible beam loss monitoring system for the CLIC main beam accelerator and drive beam decelerators. Measurements with Cherenkov fibres have been recently performed at CERN test facilities. The results from these measurements are presented in this contribution, together with an analysis of the device performance and suitability as beam loss monitor for a future collider.
