/ Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Abramov, Andrey (CERN) ; Montanari, Carlo Emilio (CERN) ; Droin, Colas (CERN) ; Di Croce, Davide (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Demetriadou, Despina (CERN) ; Soubelet, Felix (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN) ; Sterbini, Guido (CERN) et al.
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.

LHC optics commissioning in 2023 and 2024

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% [...]

Development of numerical tools for intra-beam scattering modelling
/ Soubelet, Felix (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Zampetakis, Michail (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN)
Intra-beam Scattering (IBS) is one of the main mechanisms of emittance blowup and performance deterioration in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator complex. It is particularly relevant since the recent upgrades across the injector complex to reach the high brightness beams of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era have been implemented. [...]

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. [...]

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.

Prospect of operating with limited skew quadrupole corrector availability in the LHC interaction regions
/ Soubelet, F (CERN ; Liverpool U.) ; Persson, T (CERN) ; Kostoglou, S (CERN) ; Tomás, R (CERN) ; Hostettler, M (CERN) ; Welsch, C P (Liverpool U.)
In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), corrections of local Interaction Region (IR) linear coupling are of importance to control beam sizes at Interaction Points (IPs) and hence the luminosity performance, as well as to prevent a significant impact on the beam dynamics. During the LHC Run 3, the skew quadrupole corrector magnets used on either side of IPs are expected to exceed their radiation dose limit. [...]
