Proposal of a Gas-Ionization BSM for the LHC

A new type of Beam Size Monitor (BSM) for the LHC is proposed here. This monitor is a residual-gas ionization detector and its working principle is based on the measurement of the acceleration given to ions by the space charge field of the beam. Such a BSM is able to measure the transverse beam size...

Sumario:A new type of Beam Size Monitor (BSM) for the LHC is proposed here. This monitor is a residual-gas ionization detector and its working principle is based on the measurement of the acceleration given to ions by the space charge field of the beam. Such a BSM is able to measure the transverse beam size over the whole LHC energy range.
