The energy stored in the nominal LHC beams is two times 362MJ, 100 times the energy of the Tevatron. As little as 1mJ/cm 3 deposited energy quenches a magnet at 7 TeV and 1J/cm 3 causes magnet damage. The beam dumps are the only places to safely dispose of this beam. One of the key systems for machine protection is the beam loss monitoring (BLM) system. About 3600 ionization chambers...
