Python Expert Applications for Large Beam Instrumentation Systems at CERN
/ Martínez Samblas, Javier (CERN) ; Calvo Giraldo, Eva (CERN) ; Gonzalez-Berges, Manuel (CERN) ; Krupa, Michal (CERN)
In recent years, beam diagnostics systems with increasingly large numbers of monitors, and systems handling vast amounts of data have been deployed at CERN. Their regular operation and maintenance poses a significant challenge. [...]

Calibration of the LHC Diamond beam loss monitors for LHC Run 3
/ Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Salvachua, Belen (CERN) ; Welsch, Carsten (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Zamantzas, Christos (CERN) ; Calvo Giraldo, Eva (CERN) ; Martinez Samblas, Javier (CERN) ; Wolfenden, Joseph (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Gonzalez-Berges, Manuel (CERN)
A set of twelve Polycrystalline Chemical Vapour Deposition (pCVD) diamond detectors are installed in the beam injection, extraction and betatron collimation areas of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as fast beam loss monitoring detectors. Their high-radiation tolerance and time resolution in the order of a few ns makes them an ideal candidate to monitor bunch-by-bunch losses in the LHC beams, which have a nominal bunch separation of 25 ns. [...]

Fast Spill Monitor Studies for the SPS Fixed Target Beams
/ Roncarolo, Federico (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Belohrad, David (CERN) ; Bergamaschi, Michele (CERN) ; Calvo Giraldo, Eva (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Martin Nieto, Miguel (CERN) ; Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) et al.
At the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) the proton beam is supplied to the fixed target experiments in the North Area facility (NA) via a slow extraction process, taking place at 400 GeV. The monitoring of the spill quality during the extraction, lasting 4.8 seconds with the present SPS setup, is of high interest for minimising beam losses and providing the users with uniform proton-on-target rates.

The Diamond Beam Loss Monitoring System at CERN LHC and SPS
/ Calvo Giraldo, Eva (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Gonzalez Berges, Manuel (CERN) ; Kral, Jiri (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Martínez Samblas, Javier (CERN) ; Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN) ; Salvachúa, Belen (CERN) ; Zamantzas, Christos (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerators are equipped with 17 pCVD diamond based Beam Loss detectors at strategical locations where their nanosecond resolution can provide insights into the loss mechanisms and complement the information of the standard ionization chamber type detectors. They are used at the injection and extraction lines of the LHC and SPS, to analyse the injection or extraction efficiency, and to verify the timing alignment of other elements like kicker magnets.

Linearity and Response Time of the LHC Diamond Beam Loss Monitors in the CLEAR Beam Test Facility at CERN
/ Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Calvo Giraldo, Eva (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Farabolini, Wilfrid (CERN) ; Korysko, Pierre (CERN) ; Lernevall, Anders (CERN) ; Salvachúa, Belen (CERN) ; Welsch, Carsten (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Wolfenden, Joseph (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) et al.
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) diamond detectors have been tested during the Run 2 operation period (2015-2018) as fast beam loss monitors for the Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. However, the lack of raw data recorded during this operation period restrains our ability to perform a deep analysis of their signals. [...]

Beam feasibility study of a collimator with in-jaw beam position monitors
/ Wollmann, Daniel (CERN) ; Nosych, Andriy A (CERN ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; Liverpool U.) ; Valentino, Gianluca (CERN) ; Aberle, Oliver (CERN) ; Aßmann, Ralph W (CERN) ; Bertarelli, Alessandro (CERN) ; Boccard, Christian (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Burkart, Florian (CERN) ; Calvo, Eva (CERN) et al.
At present, the beam-based alignment of the LHC collimators is performed by touching the beam halo with both jaws of each collimator. This method requires dedicated fills at low intensities that are done infrequently and makes this procedure time consuming. [...]
