Considering a generic double-ring collider, we discuss the matching from an antisymmetric optics in the arcs to a symmetric optics in the interaction region (IR) by means of an antisymmetric matching section (MS). As an example, we present an application to the LHC, for which a symmetric IR with extremely flat beams is under study.

We report the status of the optics design for a local chromatic correction with extremely-flat beams at the LHC. Together with a Large Piwinski angle, this optics opens up the possibility of crab-waist collisions at the LHC, for which a new layout of the LHC insertion region (IR) is needed. We present a complete optics and discuss the parameters of the final "double-half" quadrupole.
