MC02: Beam Loss Monitors and Machine Protection

Invited Oral Presentation

The PETRA IV project at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) aims to upgrade the PETRA III synchrotron into an ultra-low-emittance light source. Both electron and photon beams can cause damage to accelerator components. The Machine Protection System (MPS) is a critical element of the accelerator’s safety infrastructure, designed to prevent beam-induced damage. It aggregates information from multiple...
