The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) has developed a complete high-speed and high-sensitivity background monitor based on a pair of plastic scintillators and a custom-made LHCb readout board to record fast LHC beam losses with time information. The system is installed close to the LHCb Vertex Locator and it has been operational since the LHC pilot run providing valuable information to the LHC Operations crew during beam commissioning and to LHCb Control Room about the experimental conditions at the physics runs. The system is able to record fast beam losses at a rate of 40 MHz, providing information regarding the bunch crossing of the loss, the intensity of the loss calibrated in number of Minimum Ionizing Particles. A full control and monitoring system has been developed as well within the framework of the LHCb Experimental Control System. A complete simulation of the system has been central in converting the response of the system into physical quantities. In this paper we will describe the system in its components and functionalities, the commissioning phase, the simulation framework and the first results with real beam at the LHC.
