  The LHC performance during the proton-lead run in 2016 fully relied on a permanent monitoring and systematic improvement of the beam quality in all the injectors. The beam production and characteristics are explained in this paper, together with the improvements realized during the run from the source up to the flat top of the LHC. Transmission studies from one accelerator to the next as well as beam quality evolution studies during the cycle at each accelerator, have been carried out and are summarized in this paper. In 2016, the LHC had to deliver the beams to the experiments at two different energies, 4 Z TeV and 6.5 Z TeV. The properties of the beams at these two energies are also presented

  Top-up injection into low emittance light sources is challenging due to their inherent small dynamic apertures (DA). The use of a multipole-magnet injection kicker prevents disturbing the circulating beam. However, the injected bunch will be mismatched due to unwanted focusing (linear field profile) or even filamented (nonlinear field profile). Coreless nonlinear kicker magnets, using different configurations of straight conductors, can produce transverse step-like magnetic field distribution which prevent the mismatch. We explored an 8-conductor configuration and a multi-conductor approach like unipolar massless septum design. Maximizing the spatial derivative of the transverse field step function is crucial in order to kick the injected bunch inside the DA. Comparing the results of different designs a particular dependence between the smallest clear aperture and the maximum transverse field spatial derivative was observed. We have developed an optimization tool to generate arbitrary 2D magnetic fields and determine the associated current distribution. With it we obtained new design solutions for possible injection magnets that go beyond the limitations of the standard designs.
