  The future beam brilliance and intensities required by the HL-LHC (High-Luminosity LHC) project and for possible new neutrino production beams triggered a deep revision of the LHC injector performances. The analysis, progressing in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) projects, outlined major limitations mainly related to collective effects - space charge in PSB and PS, electron cloud driven and TMCI instabilities in the SPS, longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities in the PS for example - but also to the existing hardware capability to cope with beam instabilities and losses. A summary of the observations and simulation studies carried out so far, as well as the future ones, will be presented. The solution proposed to overcome the different limitations and the plans for their implementation will be also briefly reviewed.

  The single bunch transverse mode coupling instability (TMCI) at injection is presently one of the main intensity limitation for LHC beams in the SPS. A new optics for the SPS with lower transition energy yields an almost 3-fold increase of the slip factor at injection energy and thus a significantly higher TMCI threshold, as demonstrated both in simulations and in experimental studies. It is observed furthermore that the low gamma transition optics yields better longitudinal stability throughout the entire acceleration cycle. In addition, simulations predict a higher threshold for the electron cloud driven single bunch instability, which might become an important limitation for high intensity LHC beams with the nominal 25 ns bunch spacing. This contribution gives a summary of the experimental and simulation studies, addressing also space charge effects and the achievable brightness with high intensity single bunch beams.

  Intra-beam scattering is a small angle multiple Coulomb scattering effect, leading to emittance growth. It becomes important for high brightness beams in low emittance lepton rings, but also hadron synchrotrons and ring colliders. Several theoretical models have been developed over the years, however, when the IBS becomes predominant, the divergence between the models becomes important. In addition, the theoretical models are based on the consideration of Gaussian beams and uncoupled transverse motion. Recently, two multi-particle tracking codes have been developed, in order to enable the understanding of the IBS influence on the beam distribution and the inclusion of coupling. The comparison between theoretical models in different lattices and different regimes is discussed here and the benchmarking of the theoretical models with the tracking codes is presented. Finally, first measurement results are presented in low emittance rings and hadron synchrotrons.

  The future improvement of the beam brilliance and intensities required in the frame of the LIU (LHC Injectors Upgrade) project to reach the demands of the HL-LHC (High-Luminosity LHC) project triggered a comprehensive study of the combined effects of the space charge and the machine resonances for the CERN synchrotrons, which are the injector chain for LHC. In frame of this report we will summarize new features of the PTC-ORBIT code which allow the beam dynamics modeling in the LHC injectors taking into account the time variation of the machine parameters during the injection process. The measurements, obtained during recent MD companies, and simulations for the low-energy high-intensity beams, will be discussed.
