Software Section (SW)
The BI Group (and us in consequence) is in charge of the Beam Instrumentation of all CERN machines and projects: LHC PS BOOSTER EA NORTH ISOLDE LEIR PS LINAC PS REX ISOLDE SPS
-
Mechanics and Logistics Section (ML)
The Mechanics and Logistics section is responsible for: The ML section works across all CERN accelerators and on current and future projects. It manages laboratories and a mechanical workshop on the Prevessin site as well as conventional and radioactive storage in Meyrin.
-
Beam Position Measurement Section (BP)
The BI Beam Position Measurement Section designs and maintains systems measuring the transverse position of the various particle beams used at CERN. The section is responsible for around 2000 Beam Position Monitors (BPM) installed across the accelerator complex. A typical BPM system is a chain of an in-vacuum electromagnetic sensor, front-end analogue RF circuit, high-speed…

Experimental Areas, e-Beam, Ion Monitors Section (XEI)
The Experimental Areas, e-Beam, Ion Monitors (XEI) section of the Beam Instrumentation (BI) group is responsible for the development, production, installation and commissioning of the beam instrumentation that measure the parameters of the beams extracted to the SPS and PS experimental areas. The section is also in charge of the LEIR and AD electron coolers…

Profile Measurement Section (PM)
Inside the department the BI group is responsible for the all the diagnostics necessary to monitor and optimize the beam parameters. Within the BI Group, the PM section designs, builds and maintains various classes of instruments devoted to the observation and characterization of the transverse distribution of particle beams. Our systems are installed in the…

Beam Loss Measurement Section (BL)
The BL section designs, builds and maintains beam loss monitoring systems, used to measure and protect from particle losses as well as for optimising beam parameters throughout the CERN accelerator complex.

Intensity and Tune Measurement Section (IQ)
Operational Systems Intensity measurement systems A measure of the number of charged particles, from 107 to 1014 charges, in CERN beams. Two main technologies: A crucial measurement that allows machine operators to optimize particle transmission throughout the accelerators in the complex.
