Beam loss detectors will play an important role in the
protection of the superconducting LHC magnets.
Different types of detectors have been tested in the SPS
ring and secondary beam lines with a view to their
possible use for this application.
This paper describes the measurements made with:
microcalorimeters at cryogenic temperatures, PIN diodes,
ionisation chambers, scintillators, and ACEMs.
Measurements made using proton beams showing their
relative sensitivities, linearities in counting or analog
mode and minimum detection level will be presented.
