Claim 9:
10. A turbine engine comprising:
a compressor section of the turbine engine;
a combustion section of the turbine engine, the combustion section downstream of the compressor section;
a turbine section of the turbine engine, the turbine section downstream of the combustion section;
a sensor for detecting the speed of a surface of the turbine section, the sensor disposed at a upstream segment of the turbine section; and
a cooling jacket encasing at least a portion of the sensor, the cooling jacket including an opening at an end of the cooling jacket disposed within the turbine section of the turbine engine for discharging cooling fluid adjacent to the surface of the turbine section from a radially innermost end of the cooling jacket,
wherein a cooling fluid is in fluid communication with the cooling jacket and an outer surface of the sensor, the cooling jacket shaped to direct cooling fluid around the sensor.
