Description
The LHC beam loss monitoring system is based of the detection of
secondary shower particles, which depose their energy in the
accelerator equipment and finally also in the monitoring detector. To
protect the equipment and to prevent quenches the likely loss
locations have to be identified by tracking simulations or by using
low intensity beams. To keep the operational efficiency high, the
calibration factor between the energy deposition in the coils of the
magnets and the energy deposition in the detectors has to be
accurately known.
The likely loss locations will de discussed and the envisaged
detector location will be shown. The beam loss measurement system
will be explained and the implementation of varying quench levels
with loss duration and with beam energy will be pointed out
