【 摘 要 】

CERN is planning the renovation and upgrade of the beam loss detection system for the Proton Synchrotron (PS). Improved performance in speed-- to be able to monitor beam loss on a bunch-by-bunch basis-- and in longterm stability-- to reduce or avoid the need for periodic calibration-- are aimed for. To select the most suitable technology, different detectors were benchmarked in the machine with respect to the same beam loss. The characteristics of the different detectors, the results of the measurement campaign and their suitability as future monitors for the PS are presented.
