	The ability to continuously monitor the transverse beam size is one of the priorities for the upgrade and consolidation of the CERN Proton Synchrotron for the High Luminosity LHC era. As well as providing an average beam size measurement throughout the acceleration cycle, the requirements also cover bunch-by-bunch measurements of up to 72 bunches with a bunch spacing of 25 ns within 1 ms.
