In addition, these detectors were installed in the PS and the SPS. The detectors are mounted close to the extraction septum of the PS (transfer line to SPS) and the SPS (transfer lines TI2 and TI8 to LHC). Mainly, they monitor the losses occurring during the extraction process but the detectors are also able to measure turn-by-turn losses in the accelerators. In addition, detailed studies concerning losses due to ghost bunches were performed. This paper will describe the installed diamond detector setup, discuss the measurement results and possible loss mitigations.
