Sumario:The performance of the LHCb Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) designed to monitor radiation load on the Inner Trackersilicon micro-strip detectors is presented. The RMS comprises Metal Foil Detectors read-out by sensitive Charge Integrators. MFD is a radiation hard detector operating at high charged particle fluxes. RMS is used to monitor radiation load as well as relative luminosity of the LHCb experiment. The results obtained by the RMS during LHC operation in 2010–2011 are compared to the Monte-Carlo simulation.
