Beam instrumentation put to the test
Although most of the HL-LHC beam instrumentation work package is well into production and even integration, some of the more innovative designs are also taking advantage of the final beams in Run 3 to test and optimise their performance. In particular, an electro-optical beam position monitor (e-o BPM) and a Beam Gas Curtain (BGC) profile…

Promising results from HL prototype beam instruments
In the framework of the HL-UK2 collaboration, two novel beam instrument technologies are currently under development. The first is a non-invasive beam imaging system, known as the Beam Gas Curtain (BGC), which observes beam-induced fluorescence produced when charged particles interact with a thin gas jet. The second is a high-bandwidth beam position monitor designed to…
