Sextupole RDTs in the LHC at injection and in the ramp
/ Horney, S J (CERN ; Oxford U.) ; Maclean, E (CERN) ; Burrows, P (Oxford U.) ; Carlier, F (CERN) ; Dilly, J (CERN) ; Deniau, L (CERN) ; Ferrentino, V (CERN) ; Fol, E (CERN) ; Hofer, M (CERN) ; Keintzel, J (CERN) et al.
During 2023, examination of the action dependence of sextupolar resonance driving terms (RDT) in the LHC at injection, as measured with an AC-dipole, demonstrated that a robust measurement of the RDTs could still be achieved even with very small amplitude kicks, typically used for linear optics studies. Consequently, analysis of optics measurements from 2022 and 2023 during the LHC energy ramp allowed a first measurement of the sextupole resonance evolution. [...]

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). [...]

Optics for Landau damping with minimized octupolar resonances in the LHC
/ Tomás, R (CERN) ; Carlier, F (CERN) ; Chudoba, F (CERN) ; Deniau, L (CERN) ; Dilly, J (CERN) ; Ferrentino, V (CERN ; Naples U.) ; Horney, S (CERN) ; Hostettler, M (CERN) ; Keintzel, J (CERN) ; Kostoglou, S (CERN) et al.
Operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires strongoctupolar magnetic fields to suppress coherent beam instabilities.The amplitude detuning that is generated by these octupolar magneticfields brings the tune of individual particles close to harmfulresonances, which are mostly driven by the octupolar fieldsthemselves. In 2023, new optics were deployed in the LHC atinjection with optimized betatronic phase advances to minimize theresonances from the octupolar fields without affecting the amplitudedetuning. [...]

The first year of Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) revealed significant changes in both linear and nonlinear optics errors with respect to Run 2. Several iterations of optics corrections were required to successfully bring the linear optics within operational tolerances. [...]

Measurement and modelling of decapole errors in the LHC from beam-based studies

Studies of third-order chromaticity in the LHC during its initial two runs have consistently demonstrated a substantial discrepancy between the expected Q''' at injection and that observed in beam-based measurements. In 2022 during Run 3, for the first time, studies of Q''' have been complemented by measurements of chromatic detuning, being the momentum-dependence of amplitude detuning, and the decapole resonance driving term 𝑓1004.

After more than 3 years of shutdown the LHC is again operational in 2022. Experience from the previous Long Shutdown (LS) has shown that the local errors in the triplet quadrupoles changed significantly between Run 1 and Run 2, and first measurements in 2022 unveil further changes. [...]
