Diagnostics needs for beam-beam studies and optimization

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.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to the ICFA Mini-Workshop on Beam-Beam Effects in Hadron Colliders, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, 18-22 Mar 201
