/ 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. [...]

/ Ricci, Gianmarco (Rome U. ; CERN) ; Mostacci, Andrea (Rome U. ; CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Matheson, Eloise (CERN) ; D'Andrea, Marco (CERN ; INFN, Legnaro) ; Di Castro, Mario (CERN) ; Cai, Rongrong (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
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. [...]

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.

Updated analysis of beam halo measurements in LHC Run 2 and Run 3

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. [...]

Operation of the LHC during the 2023 proton run

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). [...]

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. [...]

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. [...]
