TBID Monitor Secondary emission monitor 12 microm Ti foils diameter = 145mm better than 10-4 mbar vacuum

Check efficiency of particle production in the targetMultiplicity (Compare with BFCT upstream of the target) Misalignment of the Beam vs Target

TBID Monitor might not survive if high intensity beam misses the target
