Improvement of the LHC orbit feedback testing framework
/ Calia, Andrea (CERN) ; Alves, Diogo (CERN) ; Wenninger, Jorg (CERN) ; Hostettler, Michi (CERN) ; Jackson, Stephen (CERN)
During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2 2019-2021) of the LHC, the orbit feedback correction software (OFB) of the LHC was redesigned to satisfy new requirements for LHC Run 3 (2022-2025) and to clean up legacy functionalities. The OFB is an essential component of LHC high intensity operation since the orbit must be stabilized to a fraction of the beam size during the entire LHC machine cycle. [...]

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.

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.

Machine protection perspective on the restart of the large hadron collider after long shutdown 2
/ Wiesner, Christoph (CERN) ; Hernalsteens, Cédric (CERN) ; Solfaroli, Matteo (CERN) ; Wenninger, Jorg (CERN) ; Wollmann, Daniel (CERN) ; Uythoven, Jan (CERN)
In 2022, the Large Hadron Collider started its third operational run. Following the three-year Long Shutdown 2, a careful re-commissioning of the machine protection system (MPS) took place. [...]

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.

Interlock Super Agent : Enhancing Machine Efficiency and Performance at CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron
/ Veyrunes, Eric (CERN) ; Asko, Anti (CERN) ; Trad, Georges (CERN) ; Wenninger, Jorg (CERN)
In the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), finding the source of an interlock signal has become increasingly unmanageable due to the complex interdependencies between the agents in both the beam interlock system (BIS) and the software interlock system (SIS). This often leads to delays, with the inefficiency in diagnosing beam stops impacting the overall performance of the accelerator. [...]

Impact of Vibration to HL-LHC Performance During the FPF Facility Construction
/ Gamba, D (CERN) ; Bartosik, H (CERN) ; Wenninger, J (CERN) ; Widuch, K (CERN) ; Pal, K (CERN) ; Guinchard, M (CERN)
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed experimental facility to be installed several hundred meters downstream from the ATLAS interaction point to intercept long-lived particles and neutrinos produced along the beam collision axis and which are therefore outside of the acceptance of the ATLAS detector. The construction of this facility, and in particular the excavation of the associated shaft and cavern, could take place in parallel to beam operation in the CERN accelerator complex. [...]
