IT04 Challenges for LHC and Demands on Beam Instrumentation LHC, instrumentation, collimation, superconducting-magnet 15
 
  • J. Wenninger
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
  The LHC machine presently under construction at CERN will exceed existing superconducting colliders by about one order of magnitude for luminosity and beam energies for pp collisions. To achieve this performance the bunch frequency is as large as 40 MHz and the range in beam intensity covers 5·109 protons to 3·1014 protons with a normalised beam emittance as small as 3 μmrad. This puts very stringent demands on the beam instrumentation to be able to measure beam parameters like beam positions, profiles, tunes, chromaticities, beam losses or luminosity. The presentation will pick out interesting subjects of the LHC beam instrumentation field. The examples will be chosen to cover new detection principles or new numerical data treatments, which had to be developed for the LHC as well as aspects of operational reliability for instrumentation, which will be used for machine protection systems.  
 
PM14 Upgrade Of The ESRF Fluorescent Screen Monitors instrumentation, emittance, linac 125

  The ESRF injector system contains 23 Fluorescent Screen monitors: 4 in the TL-1 transferline (200 MeV), 8 in the Booster, and 11 in the TL-2 transferline (6 GeV). They are based on Chromium doped Alumina screens that are pneumatically inserted at 45o angle in the beam path with an optical system, at 90o angle, collecting and focusing the emitted light onto a low-cost CCD camera with standard 75Ω video output. Serving mainly alignment purposes in the past 10 years, the present upgrade aims at a 200 μm fwhm resolution for beam-size and profile measurements. The particularity of the Alumina screen not in vacuum but in atmosphere will be explained. Details of the mechanics, the optic system and a cost-efficient way of light flux adjustment will be given. The analysis of the factors determining the ultimate spatial resolution will show that it is dominated by the screen characteristics. Results obtained with different screen material will be presented.
