7 TeV proton beam from the LHC is ejected through a long transfer line to a beam dump block. Approximately 100 m downstream of the ejection septa, a series of dilution kicker magnets provide a sweeping deflection spreading the extracted beam over a 40 cm diameter area on the face of the beam dump core. During normal operation, the quality of each dump event must be recorded and verified. The so called “Post-Mortem” data-set will include information from the beam dumping system as well as from the beam diagnostics along the extraction line. For this purpose, a profile monitor in front of the dump block is permanently available during machine operation. With more than 1014 protons stored in LHC, the thermal properties of the screen have to be considered as beam energy deposition becomes an issue. This paper presents the design of this device, which is original due to its very large size. We introduce the different technical considerations involved in the design of the system and present the complete layout of its installation with a special emphasis on the mechanical design, the screen assembly and the choice of the radiation-hard video camera used to capture the image.

Built at CERN by an international collaboration, the CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) aims at demonstrating the feasibility of a high luminosity 3TeV e+-e- collider by the year 2010. One of the main issues to be demonstrated is the generation of a high average current (30A) high frequency (12GHz) bunched beam by means of RF manipulation. At the same time, Free Electron Lasers (FEL) are developed in several places all over the world with the aim of providing high brilliance photon sources. These machines all rely on the production of high peak current electron bunches. The required performances put high demands on the diagnostic equipment and innovative longitudinal monitors have been developed during the past years. This paper gives an overview of the longitudinal instrumentation developed at ELETTRA and CTF3, where a special effort was made in order to implement at the same time non-intercepting devices for online monitoring, and destructive diagnostics which have the advantage of providing more detailed information.
