MOPLS020 | Rad-hard Luminosity Monitoring for the LHC | 580 |
|
||
Luminosity measurements at the high luminosity points of the LHC are very challenging due to the extremely high radiation levels in excess of 1 GGy/yr. We have designed an ionization chamber that uses a flowing gas mixture and a combination of metals and ceramics. With such a choice, an additonal challenge is achieving the necessary speed to be able to resolve bunch-by-bunch luminosity data. We present the design, analysis and experimental results of the early demonstration tests of this device. |
