/ Rodin, Volodymyr (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Salvachua, Belen (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Schoofs, Philippe (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN) ; Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN) et al.
In 2023, the LHC started its Run 3 operation with $^{208}\text{PB}^{82+}$ beams at 6.8 ZTeV, with a substantially higher number of bunches compared to past runs. Several new hardware systems were used operationally for the first time with high-intensity beams, including bent crystal collimators in the betatron cleaning insertion. [...]

At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), bent crystals play a crucial role in efficiently redirecting ion-beam halo particles toward secondary collimators used for absorption. This innovative method leverages millimeter-sized crystals to achieve deflection equivalent to a magnetic field of hundreds of Tesla at LHC’s highest energies. [...]

HL-LHC series collimators: key technical requirements, crucial production challenges and risk mitigation plan
/ Piccinni, Carla (CERN) ; Perillo Marcone, Antonio (CERN) ; Senajova, Dominika (CERN) ; Baillard, Dylan (CERN) ; Grenier-Boley, Edouard (CERN) ; Nuiry, Francois-Xavier (CERN) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) ; Seidenbinder, Regis (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
In view of High Luminosity (HL) - Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project, an upgraded collimation system has been developed to accommodate a rise of ten times of the integrated luminosity compared to the LHC. A new series of collimators will be produced and installed in the machine during the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) to take place during 2026-2028. [...]

The LHC Injectors Upgrade project at CERN optimized the injection accelerator chain to deliver proton intensities per bunch of 2.3e+11 ppb. Throughout 2023, the LHC was filled with up to 2464 bunches per beam using a hybrid injection scheme, involving up to 236 bunches per injection, with a maximum intensity per bunch of 1.6e+11 ppb.

Machine learning based crystal collimator alignment optimization
/ Ricci, Gianmarco (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN) ; Di Castro, Mario (CERN) ; Matheson, Eloise (CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Mostacci, Andrea (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
In the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), bent crystals are used to efficiently deflect beam halo particles toward secondary collimators used as absorbers. In this crystal collimation scheme, a crystal with a length of a few millimeters can produce a deflection equivalent to a magnetic field of hundreds of Tesla at LHC top energies, improving the cleaning performance of the machine.

Measurements of the transverse beam halo in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide crucial input for the performance evaluation of the collimation configuration in the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. Such measurements are carried out in various phases of the LHC operational cycle by scraping the beam with movable collimators. [...]

Analysis of the performance in the 2023 LHC Pb-Pb run
/ Triantafyllou, Natalia (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
In 2023, the Pb-Pb run in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took place during the last five weeks of operation at a record beam energy of 6.8 Z TeV. It marked the first heavy-ion run of Run 3, following a two-day test that took place in 2022 to verify some key machine and beam upgrades. [...]

In 2023 the LHC restarted after the yearly winter shutdown with a new machine configuration optimized for intensities of up to 1.8e+11 protons per bunch. In the first two months of the 2023 run the bunch intensities were pushed up to 1.6e+11 protons per bunch until a severe vacuum degradation, caused by a damaged RF bridge, occurred close to the ATLAS experiment.
