Leveling of the luminosity in LHC by means of separating the beams colliding at an interaction point is examined. An experiment in which the separation of the beams was stepwise increased to up to 2.5 times the beam width is presented. The luminosity at all IPs and emittance of the beams were measured to detect possible side effects of the collision with an offset. Strong-strong simulations that closely follow the experimental setup are discussed and compared with the measurements. Finally, potential alternatives for luminosity leveling are briefly described.

Space-charge driven nonlinear coupling resonance can have significant impact in high intensity linac and ring operation. Such a resonance causes emittance exchange between different degrees of freedom and may result in potential particle loss from the direction with smaller aperture size. In this paper, we will report on numerical simulation studies of the resonance crossing phenomena using a previous experiment at the CERN PS including detailed three-dimensional space-charge effects and machine nonlinearity.
