  The correction of nonlinearities in future colliders is critical to reach operational conditions and pose a significant challenge for commissioning schemes. Several approaches have been succesfully used in the LHC to correct sextupolar and octupolar sources in the LHC insertion regions. Measurements of resonance driving terms at top energy in the LHC have improved and now offer a new observable to calculate and validate nonlinear corrections. This paper reports on measurements of resonance driving terms in the LHC and the relevant strategies used for nonlinear corrections.

  Measurements of the dynamic aperture in colliders are a common method to ensure machine performance and offer an insight in the nonlinear content of the machine. Such direct measurements are very challenging for the LHC and High Luminosity LHC. Forced dynamic aperture has been demonstrated for the first time in the LHC at injection energy as a potential new observable to safely probe the nonlinear content of the machine. This paper presents the first measurements of forced dynamic aperture at top energy and discusses the proposed measurement schemes and challenges.

  The application of machine learning methods and concepts of artificial intelligence can be found in various industry and scientific branches. In Accelerator Physics the machine learning approach has not found a wide application yet. This paper is devoted to evaluation of machine learning methods aiming to improve the optics measurements and corrections at LHC. The main subjects of the study are devoted to recognition and analysis of faulty beam position monitors and prediction of quadrupole errors using clustering algorithms, decision trees and artificial neural networks. The results presented in this paper clearly show the suitability of machine learning methods for the optics control at LHC and the potential for further investigation on appropriate approaches.
