Assessing the Performance of Deep Learning Predictions for Dynamic Aperture of a Hadron Circular Particle Accelerator
/ Di Croce, Davide (EPFL, Lausanne, FSL) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN) ; Montanari, Carlo Emilio (Manchester U.) ; Pieloni, Tatiana (EPFL, Lausanne, FSL) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik F (CERN)
Understanding the concept of dynamic aperture provides essential insights into nonlinear beam dynamics, beam losses, and the beam lifetime in circular particle accelerators. This comprehension is crucial for the functioning of modern hadron synchrotrons like the CERN Large Hadron Collider and the planning of future ones such as the Future Circular Collider. [...]

Xsuite is a modular simulation package bringing to a single flexible and modern framework capabilities of different tools developed at CERN in the past decades notably MAD-X Sixtrack Sixtracklib COMBI and PyHEADTAIL. The suite consists of a set of Python modules (Xobjects, Xpart, Xtrack, Xcoll, Xfields, Xdeps) that can be flexibly combined together and with other accelerator-specific and general-purpose python tools to study complex simulation scenarios.

CALCULATING THE CHANNELLING EFFICIENCY OF BENT SILICON CRYSTALS USING TWO PARTICLE SIMULATION PROGRAMS: SIXTRACK AND XSUITE
/ Dewhurst, Kay (CERN) ; Pascal, Hermes (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN)
A novel double-crystal experiment is being considered for installation in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to measure precession properties of short-lived baryons such as the Λc+. The experiment utilises a first bent silicon crystal of 50 μrad to deflect halo particles away from the circulat- ing proton beam. [...]

Recent Developments with the New Tools for Collimation Simulations in Xsuite
/ Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN) ; Abramov, Andrey (CERN) ; Broggi, Giacomo (CERN ; Rome U., La Sapienza, Dip. di Astron.) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Demetriadou, Despina (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Hugo, Gabrielle (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Lindström, Bjorn (CERN) et al.
Simulations of single-particle tracking involving collimation systems need dedicated tools to perform the different tasks needed. These include the accurate description of particle-matter interactions when a tracked particle impacts a collimator jaw; a detailed aperture model to identify the longitudinal location of losses; and others.

Analysis Tools for Numerical Simulations of Dynamic Aperture with Xsuite
/ Pugnat, Thomas (CERN) ; Di Croce, Davide (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN)
Recently, several efforts have been made at CERN to develop a new tracking tool, Xsuite, which is intended to be the successor to SixTrack. In this framework, analysis tools have also been prepared with the goal of providing advanced post-processing techniques for the interpretation of dynamic aperture simulations. [...]

Mitigating Collimation Impedance and Improving Halo Cleaning with New Optics and Settings Strategy of the HL-LHC Betatron Collimation System
/ Lindström, Bjorn (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Buffat, Xavier (CERN) ; De Maria, Riccardo (CERN) ; Giacomel, Lorenzo (CERN) ; Hermes, Pascal (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Mounet, Nicolas (CERN) ; Persson, Tobias (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) et al.
With High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) beam intensities, there are concerns that the beam losses in the dispersion suppressors around the betatron cleaning insertion might exceed the quench limits. Furthermore, to maximize the beam lifetime it is important to reduce the impedance as much as possible. [...]

Simulations and Measurements of Betatron and Off-momentum Cleaning Performance in the Energy Ramp at the LHC
/ Triantafyllou, Natalia (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Dewhurst, Kay (CERN) ; Lindström, Bjorn (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with a multistage collimation system that protects the machine against unavoidable beam losses at large betatron and energy offsets at all stages of operation. Dedicated validations and an understanding in simulations of the collimation performance are crucial for the energy ramp from 450 GeV to 6.8 TeV because complex changes of optics and orbit take place in this phase.
