Noninvasive LHC transverse beam size measurement using inelastic beam-gas interactions

The beam-gas vertex (BGV) detector is an innovative instrument measuring noninvasively the transverse beam size in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using reconstructed tracks from beam-gas interactions. The BGV detector was installed in 2016 as part of the R&D for the High-Luminosity LHC project....
