Abstract

For the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider ("HL-LHC"), active control of proton beam halo will be essential for safe and reliable operation. Hollow Electron Lenses can provide such active control by enhancing the depletion of halo particles, and are now an integral part of the high luminosity LHC collimation system. The centring of the proton beam within the hollow electron beam will be monitored through imaging the fluorescence from a curtain of supersonic gas. In this contribution we report on the recent progress with this monitor and its subsystems, including the development of an LHC compatible gas-jet injection system, the fluorescence imaging setup and preliminary test measurement in the LHC.
