Abstract

Described are the results on examination in the 70 GeV proton circulating beam of beam loss monitor (BLM) called QUAD, having been developed for the the UNK-I. The specific feature of QUAD is its special design: quasi-2π geometry of sensitive volume and installation directly on the accelerator beam pipe for increasing its sensitivity to the beam loss and reproducibility. The significant advantages of QUAD (air-filled, diaphragm-type, four-module ion chamber) against the traditionally remoted from the accelerator beam pipe BLM´s have been proved. Experimental results are presented together with the computer simulation ones for investigated and for the TeV beam energies
