  Electron cloud effects are one of the main limitations of the performance of the LHC and its injectors. Enormous progress has been done in the simulation of the electron cloud build-up and of the effects on beam stability while mitigation measures have been identified and implemented (scrubbing, low secondary electron yield coatings, etc.). The above has allowed reaching nominal beam parameters in the LHC during Run 2. A review of the studies and results obtained and the strategy and expected performance for the High Luminosity operation of the LHC will be presented.

  The beams required for the high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and other potential future circular colliders (FCC) call for efficient mechanisms to suppress transverse collective instabilities. In addition to octupole magnets installed for the purpose of Landau damping in the transverse planes, we propose to use radio frequency (rf) quadrupole structures to considerably enhance the aforementioned stabilising effect. By means of the PyHEADTAIL macroparticle tracking code as well as analytical studies, the stabilising mechanism introduced by an rf quadrupole is studied and explained. It is, furthermore, compared to the influence of the second order chromaticity on transverse beam stability.

  During operation in 2015 and 2016, some transverse instabilities were observed when either the coupling (or closest tune approach) C- was large, or when the tunes were moved closer together. This motivated a campaign of simulations on the effect of linear coupling on the transverse stability. Measurements made during operation and with dedicated beam time have been found to confirm the predictions. This paper will detail the results of the linear coupling studies and relate them to operation of the LHC in the future.

  The study reports on dedicated measurements made with a single nominal bunch in the LHC at 6.5 TeV. First, we show that a significant amount of second order chromaticity Q'' can be introduced in the machine in a well-controlled manner. Second, we demonstrate that the incoherent betatron tune spread from Q'' can provide beam stability through the Landau damping mechanism. This is a first step in the development of a Q'' knob to be potentially applied during regular physics operation in the LHC.
