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.
