A Hollow Electron Lens (HEL) is currently under development for the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In this device, a hollow electron beam co-propagates with a central proton beam and provides active halo control in the LHC. To ensure the concentricity of the two beams, a non-invasive diagnostic instrument is currently being commissioned. This instrument is a compact version of an existing prototype that leverages beam induced fluorescence with supersonic gas curtain technology. This contribution includes the design features of this version of the monitor, recent progress, and future plans for tests at the Cockcroft Institute and the electron lens test stand at CERN.

  The Beam Gas Vertex (BGV) instrument is a non-invasive transverse beam profile monitor being designed as part of the High Luminosity Upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC) at CERN. Its aim is to continuously measure bunch-by-bunch beam profiles, independent of beam intensity, throughout the LHC cycle. The primary components of the BGV monitor are a gas target and a forward tracking detector. Secondary particles emerging from inelastic beam-gas interactions are detected by the tracker. The beam profile is then inferred from the spatial distribution of reconstructed vertices of said interactions. Based on insights and conclusions acquired by a demonstrator device that was operated in the LHC during Run 2, a new design is being developed to fulfill the HL-LHC specifications. This contribution describes the status of the simulation studies being performed to evaluate the impact of design parameters on the instrument’s performance and identify gas target and tracker requirements.
