Description
The beam loss monitoring system will be the main instrument charged
with detecting and acting upon the majority of failures that could
lead to quenches or damage. In a few cases, however, additional
instrumentation is required to protect the machine.
Three such systems will be discussed along with their proposed
implementation,namely: the beam dump channel position interlock in
IR6, a fast orbit drift interlock and a fast loss interlock using
beam current transformers. For many types of failures these systems
would also be a back-up to beam loss monitoring thus inceasing the
overall reliability of the machine protection system.
