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.
