Unlike the high energy proton machines, our radiation transport simulation results show that it will be difficult to use traditional BLMs to detect beam losses for FRIB linac, not only due to the low radiation levels from low energy heavy ion beams, but also resulted by the cross talk effect from one part of the machine to another in the folded machine geometry. A device called “Halo Ring” is introduced as a component of the BLM system to substitute the traditional ion chamber in those regions.
