            The image obtained with the LEP synchrotron
            radiation telescopes deteriorates, giving multiple and
            deformed images, when the beam energy goes beyond
            80 GeV at beam currents above 2 mA. This problem is
            due to the deformation of the light extracting beryllium
            mirror, by as little as 1 mm, and had been predicted at
            the design stage. To overcome this problem, several
            changes together with an adaptive optics set-up have
            been introduced. These essentially consist of a
            cylindrically deformable mirror to compensate the
            cylindrical deformation of the beryllium mirror and a
            movable detector to compensate the spherical
            deformation. Both components are continuously
            adjusted as a function of beam current and energy.

            In order to satisfy the stringent emittance
            requirements of LHC, betatron matching monitors,
            based on multiturn beam profile measurements, have
            been proposed for the SPS and LHC. A test monitor
            has been installed for evaluation in the CERN SPS first
            in 1996 and improved in 1997. It is based on an OTR
            screen and a fast beam profile acquisition system. It
            has been used with proton beams to assess the quality
            of the betatron matching from the PS to the SPS in
            1998. Experience and results are presented.

            In order to satisfy the tight emittance requirements of
            LHC, a non-intercepting beam profile monitor is needed
            in the SPS to follow the beam emittance evolution during
            the acceleration cycle from 26 to 450 GeV. Beyond 300
            GeV, the synchrotron light monitor can be used. To cover
            the energy range from injection at 26 GeV to 300 GeV, a
            monitor based on the luminescence of gas injected in the
            vacuum chamber has been tested and has given
            interesting results. This monitor could also be used in
            LHC, where the same problem arises. Design and results
            are presented for the SPS monitor.

            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.

            Bunch to bunch beam profile measurements provide a
            valuable tool to control the injection lines to the SPS.
            A fast profile monitor based on a 2.5μm Mylar coated
            with Aluminium Optical Transition Radiation (OTR)
            radiator, has been developed, installed and tested in the
            transfer line between the PS and SPS.
            The OTR beam image is focused onto a fast Linear
            Multianode Photo Multiplier Tube and the associated
            electronics sample and store profiles every 25ns.
            The paper describes the detector design, the electronic
            processing, and presents the results of different
            measurements made with bunches of 109-1011 protons at 26
            GeV, and bunches of 106 Pb82+ ions at 5.11 GeV/u.
