Xsuite is a modular simulation package bringing to a single flexible and modern framework capabilities of different tools developed at CERN in the past decades notably MAD-X Sixtrack Sixtracklib COMBI and PyHEADTAIL. The suite consists of a set of Python modules (Xobjects, Xpart, Xtrack, Xcoll, Xfields, Xdeps) that can be flexibly combined together and with other accelerator-specific and general-purpose python tools to study complex simulation scenarios.

Sextupole RDTs in the LHC at injection and in the ramp

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. [...]

Emittance Growth From Electron Clouds Forming in the LHC Arc Quadrupoles
/ Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Mether, Lotta (CERN) ; Papaphilippou, Yannis (CERN) ; Pieloni, Tatiana (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Potdevin, Joséphine (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) et al.
Operation of the Large Hadron Collider with proton bunches spaced 25 ns apart favours the formation of electron clouds. In fact, a slow emittance growth is observed in proton bunches at injection energy (450 GeV), showing a bunch-by-bunch signature that is compatible with electron cloud effects. [...]

Optimizing Resonance Driving Terms Using MAD-NG Parametric Maps
/ Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Persson, Tobias (CERN) ; Tomás García, Rogelio (CERN)
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.

Optics for Landau Damping with Minimized Octupolar Resonances in the LHC

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.

Mitigation of losses at injection protection devices in the CERN LHC

During loss maps performed with beam at injection energy in the LHC with the high octupole and chromaticity settings used for multi-train operation, large beam losses were observed at an injection protection device (TDIS). Although these losses did not present a threat to machine operation or protection, reducing them is of high importance to improve machine performance. [...]
