Contribution
It provides a comprehensive analysis of beam instrumentation needs and suggests specific improvements for better beam-beam effect studies at the LHC.
Findings
Identification of key instrumentation gaps
Proposed modifications for existing devices
A prioritized wish list for post-LS1 upgrades
Abstract
During the recent years of LHC operation, we analysed the situation of beam instrumentation and the need to optimize it for beam-beam studies. The most important beam instrumentation devices will be highlighted and modifications or optimizations will be suggested. A complete wish list will be presented to make sure we will be ready after LS1 (Long Shutdown 1) to study the beam-beam effect in a more complete way.
