The beam loss monitoring (BLM) system is one of the most important elements for the
protection of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It aims to protect the
superconducting magnets from quenches and the machine components from damages,
caused by beam losses. The losses are measured with ionization chambers and
secondary emission monitors at likely loss locations. About 4000 monitors will...

With an unprecedented amount of electronic systems exposed to radiation in the LHC,
reduced operational efficiency due to radiation induced failures in electronic
equipment has become an issue for both the machine and the experiments. The RADMON
radiation monitoring system presented here has been designed to measure radiation
at the location of electronic equipment in the LHC tunnel...
