/ Vigano, William (CERN) ; Zamantzas, Christos (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Meyer, Jean Michel (CERN) ; Michelis, Stefano (CERN)
CERN’s Beam Instrumentation Group is developing a mini-crate to host the future Beam Loss Monitor (BLM) and Beam Positioning Monitor (BPM) systems acquisition electronics at HL-LHC and SPS accelerators. For this purpose, a new power supply has been designed to meet the low noise requirements, high reliability, and availability standards for these harsh radioactive environments. [...]

Liverpool (main) ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Wolfenden, Joseph (U. Liverpool (main) ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
An optical beam loss monitor (oBLM) has recently been installed at the slow extraction region of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The oBLM offers a new method for detecting beam losses at the SPS by utilizing the Cherenkov radiation emitted during beam loss interactions with an optical fibre. [...]

Suitability of GHz frequency beam position monitors for electron bunch position discrimination in the AWAKE facility
/ Spear, Bethany (JAI, UK ; Oxford U. ; U. Oxford (main)) ; Burrows, Philip (JAI, UK ; Oxford U.) ; Pakuza, Collette (CERN) ; Lefevre, Thibaut (CERN) ; Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) ; Krupa, Michal (CERN) ; Wendt, Manfred (CERN) ; Liu, Shengli (TRIUMF)
The AWAKE facility at CERN utilises proton beam-driven plasma wakefields to accelerate electron bunches in a 10-meter long rubidium plasma cell. Precise monitoring of the electron bunches in the presence of the more intense proton bunches, which have distinct temporal and spatial characteristics, requires a beam position monitor (BPM) operating in the tens of GHz frequency range, assuming Gaussian longitudinal particle distributions.

Low Density Wires for Beam Halo Monitoring
/ Aliana-Cervera, Gerard (CERN) ; Pasquino, Chiara (CERN) ; Veness, Raymond (CERN) ; Lunt, Alexander (Bath U.) ; Mattia, Davide (Bath U.)
Beam Halo Monitoring (BHM) is essential for high-intensity accelerators like the HL-LHC. Carbon Nanotube (CNT) wires offer a promising alternative to traditional carbon fibre scanners due to their lower density, improved thermal properties, and reduced beam interaction. [...]

Upgrade and evolution of the ad target beam imaging system at CERN: a two-year performance analysis
/ Burger, Stephane (CERN) ; Roncarolo, Federico (CERN) ; Martínez Samblas, Javier (CERN) ; Gonzalez-Berges, Manuel (CERN)
During CERN’s Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) in 2022, the Anti-Proton Decelerator (AD) target area underwent major renovations, including a significant upgrade to its beam imaging system. The previous tube-based camera, used in a high-radiation environment, had limitations in sensitivity and resolution for continuous measurements.The upgraded design uses an innovative in-air light-emitting screen mechanically coupled to the AD target, monitored by a digital camera through a 20-meter optical line from a radiation-safe zone.
