FUNCTIONAL: in case of NO dangerous loss, it has NOT to inhibit the beam. If it fails, it generates a false alarm and 3 h will be lost to recover the previous situation. Such an event will decrease the LHC efficiency. 1.Monitor the 27 km of accelerator to detect dangerous losses. 2.Trigger beam extraction requests to avoid damages of the superconductive magnets and of other equipments.
