  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.

  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. These knobs were introduced as parameters in the transfer map, allowing the Jacobian required by the optimiser to be calculated in a single pass, saving 32 additional optics evaluations and avoiding finite difference approximations. Constraints on tunes, amplitude detuning and optics around the machine were also considered as part of the optimisation process. This paper reviews the parametric optimisation with MAD-NG and compares the results with MADX-PTC.

  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. In 2023, new optics were deployed in the LHC at injection with optimized betatronic phase advances to minimize the resonances from the octupolar fields without affecting the amplitude detuning. This paper reports on the optics design, commissioning and the lifetime measurements performed to validate the optics.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is expected to operate with unprecedented beam current and brightness from the beginning of Run 4 in 2029. In the context of the High Luminosity LHC project, the baseline operational scenarios are currently being developed. They require a large octupole current and a large chromaticity throughout the entire cycle, which drives a strong reduction of dynamic aperture, in particular at injection and during the luminosity production phase. Despite being highly constrained, the LHC optics and sextupole and octupole corrector circuits still offer a few degrees of freedom that can be used to reduce resonances and the extent of the tune footprint at constant Landau damping, thereby leading to an improvement of the dynamic aperture. This contribution presents the status of the analysis that will be used to prepare the optics baseline for LHC Run 4.
