In the absence of collisions, inelastic interactions between protons and residual gas molecules are the main source of radiation in the room temperature parts of the LHC long straight sections. In this case the variations in the radiation levels will reflect the dynamics of the residual pressure distribution. Based on the background simulations for the long straight section of the LHC IP5 and on the current understanding of the residual pressure dynamics, we evaluate the possibility to use the radiation monitors for the purpose of the vacuum diagnostic, and we present the first estimates of the predicted monitor counts for different scenarios of the machine operation.
