Abstract

Six years before the scheduled commissioning of the LHC at CERN, the basic list of beam instruments has been established. This early date is needed due to the impact of the mechanical design of some detectors (mainly the beam position detectors) on the cryogenic part of the machine as well as for other projects due to the long R&D period (emittance measurements, tune and chromaticity diagnostics and control). This paper gives a detailed overview of the basic requirements and specifications of all beam instruments foreseen for transfer lines and main rings
