The beam quality in terms of the transverse beam profiles from the CERN injectors plays a crucial role for the luminosity production at the LHC. Transverse tails beyond a Gaussian distribution have been observed in all the LHC injectors and efforts to optimize them are ongoing, as they can perturb operations due to large losses at LHC injection.

The LHC machine configuration was changed in 2023 compared to previous years, requiring a new set of optics configurations to be measured and corrected. A telescopic optics was deployed in energy the ramp for the first time, which gave rise to a beta-beating of up to 25% [...]

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) employs special optics and configurations, alongside low-beta* collision optics, to address specific experimental requirements. These include calibrating luminosity monitors (vdM) and facilitating forward physics measurements in TOTEM and ALFA experiments (high-beta). [...]

Current and future accelerator projects are pushing the brightness and intensity frontier, creating new challenges for turn-by-turn based optics measurements. Transverse oscillations are limited in amplitude due to particle losses. [...]

Emittance Growth From Electron Clouds Forming in the LHC Arc Quadrupoles

Operation of the Large Hadron Collider with proton bunches spaced 25 ns apart favours the formation of electron clouds. In fact, a slow emittance growth is observed in proton bunches at injection energy (450 GeV), showing a bunch-by-bunch signature that is compatible with electron cloud effects. [...]

Optimizing Resonance Driving Terms Using MAD-NG Parametric Maps
/ Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Persson, Tobias (CERN) ; Tomás García, Rogelio (CERN)
In 2023, a review of the LHC octupolar resonance driving terms at injection was carried out, motivated by two observations: (i) unwanted losses during the injection process with strongly powered octupoles and (ii) an expected reduction in emittance growth from e-cloud effects in simulations with weaker octupolar resonances. The MAD-NG code was used to simultaneously optimise the main octupolar resonances: 4Qx, 4Qy, and 2Qx-2Qy by adjusting 16 quadrupole families and 16 octupole families, for a total of 32 parameters.

Optics for Landau Damping with Minimized Octupolar Resonances in the LHC
/ Wenninger, J (CERN) ; Solfaroli, M (CERN) ; Nissinen, T (CERN) ; Hostettler, M (CERN) ; Horney, S (CERN) ; Chudoba, F (CERN) ; Tomás García, Rogelio (CERN) ; Carlier, Felix (CERN) ; Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Dilly, Joschua (CERN) et al.
Operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires strong octupolar magnetic fields to suppress coherent beam instabilities. The amplitude detuning that is generated by these octupolar magnetic fields brings the tune of individual particles close to harmful resonances, which are mostly driven by the octupolar fields themselves.

The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project was put in place between 2010 and 2021 to increase the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era (ca. 2040).
