Description

A review is given of possible beam failure modes at the LHC and of the strategy adopted in the LHC experiments to protect the detectors against such events. Damage limits for the detectors are discussed and, in particular, some recent experimental tests concerning the LHCb silicon microstrip vertex detector are presented.
