Abstract
An ion chamber beam loss monitor has been designed for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The new detector overcomes concerns with the original design about slow ion collection times and low collection efficiency at high loss rates. Prototypes have been built and tested with static sources and pulsed beams. Commercially made preproduction units have been fabricated and laboratory tested. Details of the design and test results will be presented.
