Abstract

A large number of improvements were carried-out on the LEP wire-scanners in preparation for the 1992 running period. They include modifications of the monitors mechanics to decrease the vibrations and the heating of the wire by the beam generated electromagnetic fields. Improvements of the detector chain and a software reorganization at the various levels for better noise rejection, improved user interface and “off-line” data analysis capabilities. It is now also possible to acquire the profiles of each of the sixteen circulating bunches, electrons and positrons, during the same sweep. As a consequence of these actions the quality of the collected data is much improved. The results are presented and discussed
