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 CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now in luminosity production mode and has been pushing its performance in the past months by increasing the proton beam brightness, the collision energy and the machine availability. As a consequence, collective effects have started to become more and more visible and have effectively slowed down the performance increase of the machine. Among these collective effects, the interaction of brighter LHC bunches with the longitudinal and transverse impedance of the machine has been observed to generate beam induced heating and transverse instabilities since 2010. This contribution reviews the current LHC impedance model obtained from theory, simulations and bench measurements as well as a selection of measured effects with the LHC beam.

Measurements of the momentum spread of the beam particles are of great importance when optimizing linac settings for high current operation with controlled longitudinal phase space occupation. A new method of momentum spread determination was tested at the GSI heavy ion linear accelerator UNILAC. The method is based on an analysis of incoherent components of the bunch signal. A significant enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio was achieved by means of a resonant pick-up of pill-box shape. Spectra were analyzed on the 36th harmonics of the linac rf-frequency, i.e. at 1.3 GHz. Thus, the contribution of coherent components in the frequency spectrum of the bunched beam, e.g. due to common mode, was significantly damped. Fast digital processing and gating synchronized to the bunch train allowed for a drastic reduction of the measurement time and, additionally, suppressed noise signals in the frequency spectrum. This contribution describes the measurement setup and discusses first results obtained with heavy ion beams.
