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.

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). [...]

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 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Long Shutdown 2(2019–2021), following LHC Run 2, was primarily dedicated to theupgrade of the LHC Injectors but it included also a significantamount of activities aimed at consolidation of the LHC machinecomponents, removal of known limitations and initial upgrades inview of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) to favour the intensityramp-up during Run 3 (2022–2025). An overview of the majormodifications to the accelerator and its systems is followed by asummary of the results of the superconducting magnet trainingcampaign to increase the LHC operation energy beyond the maximumvalue of 6.5 TeV reached during Run 2.

60° phase advance optics measurements in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) arcs have been designed for a FODO optics with roughly 90° betatron phase advance per arc cell, but not necessarily with exactly the same optics in the eight sectors of the ring. Measuring an optics with a significantly different arc cell phase advance, e.g. [...]

Operational handling of Crystal collimation at the LHC

A non-negligible risk of magnet quenches occurring due to the reduced cleaning performance of the original LHC collimation system with lead ion beams was expected at an energy of 6.8 Z TeV beams. Crystal collimation has therefore been integrated into the HL-LHC upgrade baseline to overcome present limitations. [...]

Following a 3-year long shutdown for upgrade and consolidation work, the LHC was re-commissioned in spring 2022, achieving a new record of 6.8 TeV per beam. This paper will describe the beam commissioning phase, the electron cloud conditioning, and the intensity ramp-up bringing the machine to a steady production state. [...]

A two-day test of operation with Pb ion beams was carried out in the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2022, with the aim of gaining experience in view of the future high luminosity heavy-ion physics runs from 2023 onwards. The LHC experiments received the first Pb-Pb collisions at a record energy of 5.36 TeV centre-of-mass energy per colliding nucleon pair (beam energy 6.8 Z TeV). [...]
