Description
Collision rate monitors are essential in bringing particle beams into collision and
optimizing the performances of a collider. In the case of LHC the relative luminosity
will be monitored by measuring the flux of small angle neutral particles produced in
the collisions. The LHC rate monitors (BRAN) are being developed by Berkeley National
Laboratory (USA) in the framework of the LARP collaboration and consist of a fast
ionization chamber that will be installed on both sides of each IP and at about 140m
from it. The monitors aim at measuring the relative luminosity of LHC bunch by bunch
with a few percent resolution.
