	The High Luminosity (HL-LHC) project aims to increase the integrated luminosity of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by an order of magnitude compared to its initial design. This requires a large increase in bunch intensity and beam brightness compared to the first LHC runs, and hence poses serious collective-effects challenges, related in particular to electron cloud, instabilities from beam-coupling impedance, and beam-beam effects. Here we present the associated constraints and the proposed mitigation measures to achieve the baseline performance of the upgraded LHC machine. We also discuss the interplay of these mitigation measures with other aspects of the accelerator, such as the physical and dynamic aperture, machine protection, magnet imperfections, optics, and the collimation system.

THBP29	Effects of Cavity Pre-Detuning on RF Power Transients at Injection into the LHC	530
	B.E. Karlsen-Bæck, T. Argyropoulos, A.C. Butterworth, R. Calaga, I. Karpov, H. Timko, M. Zampetakis CERN, GENEVA, Switzerland
	At injection into the LHC, the RF system is perturbed by beam-induced voltage resulting in strong RF power transients and the instant detuning of the cavities. The automatic tuning system, however, needs time for the mechanical compensation of the resonance frequency to take place. Acting back on the beam, the transients in RF power are expected to limit the maximum injected intensity by generating unacceptable beam loss. Reducing them is therefore essential to reach the target intensity during the High Luminosity (HL) LHC era. At LHC flat bottom, the cavities are operated using the half-detuning beam-loading compensation scheme. As implemented today, the tuner control algorithm starts acting only after the injection of the first longer bunch train which causes the bunches for this injection to experience the largest power spikes. This contribution presents an adapted detuning scheme for the RF cavities before injection. It was proposed as a path to decrease the transients, hence increasing the available intensity margin for the available RF power. The expected gain is evaluated in particle tracking simulations and measurements acquired during operation.

THBP37	Refining the LHC Longitudinal Impedance Model	559

	Modelling the longitudinal impedance for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been a long-standing effort, especially in view of its High-Luminosity (HL) upgrade. The resulting impedance model is an essential input for beam dynamics studies. Increased beam intensities in the HL-LHC era will pose new challenges like RF power limitations, beam losses at injection and coupled-bunch instabilities throughout the acceleration cycle. Starting from the existing longitudinal impedance model, effort has been made to identify the main contributing devices and improve their modelling. Loss of Landau damping (LLD) simulations are performed to investigate the dependence of the stability threshold on the completeness of the impedance model and its broad-band cut-off frequency. Plans to perform beam measurements to estimate the cut-off frequency, by investigating the LLD threshold in operation, are also discussed.

THBP39	Advances on LHC RF Power Limitation Studies at Injection	567
	H. Timko, T. Argyropoulos, R. Calaga, N. Catalán Lasheras, K. Iliakis, B.E. Karlsen-Bæck, I. Karpov, M. Zampetakis CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	The average power consumption of the main RF system during beam injection in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider is expected to be close to the maximum available klystron power. Power transients due to the mismatch of the beam and the action of control loops will exceed the available power. This paper presents the most recent estimations of the injection voltage and steady-state power needed for HL-LHC intensities, taking also beam stability into account. It summarises measurement and simulation efforts ongoing to better understand power transients and beam losses, and describes the operational margin to be taken into account for different equipment.

THBP40	Mitigation Strategies for the Instabilities Induced by the Fundamental Mode of the HL-LHC Crab Cavities	571
	L. Giacomel, P. Baudrenghien, X. Buffat, R. Calaga, N. Mounet CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	The transverse impedance is one of the potentially limiting effects for the performance of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In the current LHC, the impedance is dominated by the resistive-wall contribution of the collimators at typical bunch-spectrum frequencies, and is of broad-band nature. Nevertheless, the fundamental mode of the crab cavities, that are a vital part of the HL-LHC baseline, adds a strong and narrow-band contribution. The resulting coupled-bunch instability, which contains a strong head-tail component, requires dedicated mitigation measures, since the efficiency of the transverse damper is limited against such instabilities, and Landau damping from octupoles would not be sufficient. The efficiency and implications of various mitigation strategies, based on RF feedbacks and optics changes, are discussed, along with first measurements using crab cavity prototypes at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS).
