  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 tracking code PLACET simulates beam transport and orbit corrections in linear accelerators. It incorporates single- and multi-bunch effects, static and dynamic imperfections. It has an interface based on both Tcl/Tk and Octave to provide maximum flexibility and easy programming of complex scenarios. Recently, new functionality has been added to expand its simulation and tuning capabilities, such as: tools to perform beam-based alignment of non-linear optical systems, possibility to track through the interaction region in presence of external magnetic fields (detector solenoid), higher order imperfections in magnets, better tools for integrated feedback loops. Moreover, self contained frameworks have been created to ease the simulation of CLIC Drive Beam, CLIC Main Beam, and other existing electron machines such as CTF3 and FACET.

  The statistical evaluation of the coupling induced by magnets errors and misalignments on the optics design of a machine are done by tracking and Monte Carlo methods. These techniques are CPU demanding and time consuming. During the preliminary optics design phase a faster technique can be useful to evaluate the order of magnitude and the effectiveness of the correction system. Analytical expression for the transport along the machine of the magnets errors and misalignment are derived at first order. A perturbative approach is used to take into account the effect of a non zero central trajectory in the multipoles. The coupling correction is obtained by minimizing the cross-talk central trajectory matrix response.
