  The PRISM Task Force continues to study high intensity and high quality muon beams needed for next generation lepton flavor violation experiments. In the PRISM case such beams have been proposed to be produced by sending a short proton pulse to a pion production target, capturing the pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring. This paper summarizes the current status of the PRISM design obtained by the Task Force. In particular various designs for the PRISM FFAG ring are discussed and their performance compared to the baseline one, the injection/extraction systems and matching to the solenoid channels upstream and downstream of the FFAG ring are presented. The feasibility of the construction of the PRISM system is discussed.

  The luminosity upgrade of the LHC collider at CERN is based on a strong focusing scheme to reach lowest values of the beta function at the collision points. Several issues have to be addressed in this context, that are considered as mid term goals for the optimisation of the lattice and beam optics: Firstly a number of beam optics have been developed to establish a baseline for the hardware R&D, and to define the specifications for the new magnets that will be needed, in Nb3Sn and in NbTi technology. Secondly, the need for sufficient flexibility of the beam optics especially for smallest β* values has to be investigated as well as the need for a smooth transition between the injection and the collision optics. Finally the performance of the optics based on flat and round beams has to be compared and different ways have to be studied to optimise the chromatic correction, including the study of local correction schemes. This paper presents the status of this work, which is a result of an international collaboration, and summarises the main parameters that are foreseen to reach the HL-LHC luminosity goal.

  The Zgoubi particle tracker uses a ray tracing algorithm that can accurately track particles with large offset from any reference momentum and trajectory, making it suitable for FFAGs. In high current FFAGs, for example an ADSR driver, space charge has a significant effect on the beam. A transverse space charge model was added to Zgoubi using the interface pyZgoubi. The magnets are sliced and a space charge kick is applied between each slice. Results are presented for an ADSR driver lattice.

  The CLIC post-collision line is designed to transport the un-collided beams and the products of the collided beams with a total power of 14MW to the main beam dump. Luminosity monitoring for CLIC is based on high energy muons produced by bremsstrahlung photons in the main dump. Threshold Cherenkov counters are proposed for the detection of these muons. The expected rates and layout for these detectors is presented. Another method for luminosity monitoring is to directly detecting the bremsstrahlung photons in the post-collision line; Full Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to address its feasibility.

  The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. One design uses an electron synchrotron to collide a 60GeV e± beam with the 7TeV proton beam. Designing a new accelerator around the existing LHC machine poses unique challenges, particularly in the interaction region (IR). The electron beam must be quickly separated from the proton beam after the interaction point (IP) to avoid beam-beam effects, while not significantly reducing luminosity or producing large amounts of synchrotron radiation. The proton beam must pass through the electron optics, while the electron beam must avoid the proton optics. The long straight section requires bending in both planes to counteract the IP crossing angle and to displace the beam vertically from the electron machine to the proton IP. An achromatic bending scheme is used in the vertical plane to eliminate dispersion at the IP and provide an optics which is well matched to the LHeC ring lattice. The interaction region and long straight section design is presented and detailed, and the design process and principles discussed.

  The Large Hadron Electron Collider project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. Two electron accelerator designs are being studied; a linac and a synchrotron. In the synchrotron option, a 60GeV electron beam is collided with one of the LHC proton beams to provide high luminosity TeV-scale interactions. The interaction region for this scheme is complex and introduces a series of challenges due to the integration of the two machines. One of these is the optics of the second non-interacting proton beam. The second proton beam must not interfere with the LHeC experiment, but simultaneous running of the remaining LHC experiments requires that this beam must still circulate relatively undisturbed. This paper discusses methods to solve these challenges for the electron synchrotron design.

  The Large Hadron Electron Collider project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. In the design for an electron synchrotron (alternative designs for a linac are also under development), a 60GeV e± beam is collided with a 7TeV LHC proton beam to produce TeV-scale collisions. Despite being much lower energy than the proton beam, the electron beam is high enough energy to produce significant amounts of synchrotron radiation (SR). This places strong constraints on beam optics and bending. In particular challenges arise with the complex geometry required by the long straight section (LSS) and interaction region (IR). This includes the coupled nature of the proton and electron optics, as SR produced by the electron beam must not be allowed to quench the superconducting proton magnets or create problems with beam-gas backgrounds. Despite this, the electron beam must be deflected significantly within the IR to produce sufficient separation from the proton beam.
