      abstract     = {Interactions of dust grains with the LHC beams cause beam
                      losses that can trigger premature beam aborts or even
                      quenches of superconducting dipoles. While the simulated
                      motion and ionisation of dust grains inside the proton beam
                      are in good agreement with measured beam-loss data, a direct
                      measurement of the dust movement is not available. A novel
                      method was developed that reconstructs the trajectory of a
                      dust grain based on the different beam loss profiles of
                      transversely displaced bunches. A proof-of-principle
                      experiment to validate the method using a thin wire to
                      simulate the dust grain was performed in June 2024 at the
                      LHC. This paper describes the beam experiment, compares the
                      achieved displacements with simulations, and shows the
                      reconstructed trajectories. Finally, it is discussed how the
                      method can be applied for real dust events occurring during
                      LHC operation.},
