	Funding: Work funded by the US Department of Energy through the US- LARP program. The monitors for the high luminosity regions in the LHC have been operating since 2009 to optimize the LHC's luminosity. The devices are gas ionization chambers inside the neutral particle absorber 140 m from the interaction point and monitor showers produced by high energy neutral particles from the collisions. They have the ability to resolve the bunch-by-bunch luminosity as well as to survive the extreme level of radiation in the nominal LHC operation. The devices have operated on a broad range of luminosity, from the initial 10²⁸ until the levels well beyond 10³³ reached in 2012. We present operational results of the device during proton and lead ion operations until LS1, which include runs at 40 MHz bunch rate and with p-Pb collisions.

The monitors for the high luminosity regions in the LHC have been operating since 2009 to optimize the LHC's luminosity. The devices are gas ionization chambers inside the neutral particle absorber 140 m from the interaction point and monitor showers produced by high energy neutral particles from the collisions. They have the ability to resolve the bunch-by-bunch luminosity as well as to survive the extreme level of radiation in the nominal LHC operation. The devices have operated on a broad range of luminosity, from the initial 10²⁸ until the levels well beyond 10³³ reached in 2012. We present operational results of the device during proton and lead ion operations until LS1, which include runs at 40 MHz bunch rate and with p-Pb collisions.
