Simulation of the LHC BRAN luminosity monitor for high luminosity interaction regions

Creators

Description

The BRAN (Beam RAte of Neutrals) detector monitors the collision rates in the high luminosity interaction regions of LHC (ATLAS and CMS). This Argon gas ionization detector measures the forward neutral particles from collisions at the interaction point. To predict and improve the understanding of the detector's performance, we produced a detailed model of the detector and its surroundings in Fluka. In this paper, we present the model and results of our simulations including the detectors estimated response to interactions for beam energies of 3.5, 5, and 7 TeV.
