Beam-gas curtain production and testing on track, and SPS tests of electro-optical BPM ongoing
The novel beam-gas curtain prototype, installed in the LHC, is providing valuable insights on beam profile measurements in the High-Luminosity era for both proton and ion beams, and production of the second of the series is foreseen before LS3. The Beam-Gas Curtain (BGC) collaboration is part of the HL-UK agreement producing a novel instrument for measuring transverse beam…
