National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Beam Loss Monitors Comparison at the CERN Proton Synchrotron.

DE141149346

Publication Date	2011
Personal Author	Gilardoni, S. S.; Aumon, S.; Effinger, E.; Gil-Flores, J.; Wienands, U.
Page Count	3
Abstract	CERN is planning the renovation and upgrade of the beam loss detection system for the Proton Synchrotron (PS). Improved performance in speed-- to be able to monitor beam loss on a bunch-by-bunch basis-- and in longterm stability-- to reduce or avoid the need for periodic calibration-- are aimed for. To select the most suitable technology, different detectors were benchmarked in the machine with respect to the same beam loss. The characteristics of the different detectors, the results of the measurement campaign and their suitability as future monitors for the PS are presented.
