Transverse emittance measurement in a collider is of crucial importance for understanding beam dynamics observations and evaluating the machine performance. Devices measuring the beam emittance face the challenge of dealing with considerable systematic errors that can compromise the quality of the measurement. Having different instruments or techniques that provide beam size estimations in order to compare the outcome and give an unbiased value of the emittance is very important in a collider. The comparison of the different results is as well very useful to identify possible problems in a given equipment which could remain unnoticed if such device is the only source of emittance reconstruction. In the LHC several of these instruments and techniques are available; wire scanners, synchrotron light monitors, emittance reconstruction from transverse convolved beam sizes extracted from luminosity scans at the LHC collision points and from beam-gas imaging in the vertex detector of the LHCb experiment. Those systems are briefly presented in this paper together with the comparison of the emittances reconstructed by each of them during physics production over the 2016 LHC run.

The bunch profiles in the LHC are often observed to be non-Gaussian, both at Flat Bottom (FB) and Flat Top (FT) energies. Especially at FT, an evolution of the tail population in time is observed. In this respect, the Monte-Carlo Software for IBS and Radiation effects (SIRE) is used to track different types of beam distributions. The impact of the distribution shape on the evolution of bunch characteristics is studied. The results are compared with observations from the LHC Run 2 data.
