  Understanding the heat load from an electron beam is still an open issue for the cryogenic design of superconducting insertion devices. COLDDIAG, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics was designed and built specially for this purpose. With the equipped instrumentation, which covers temperature sensors, pressure gauges, mass spectrometers as well as retarding field analyzers it is possible to measure the beam heat load, total pressure, and gas content as well as the net flux and energy of particles hitting the chamber walls. Following a failure after its first installation in November 2011, COLDDIAG was subsequently reinstalled in the Diamond storage ring in August 2012. We report on the preliminary results that have been obtained since then.

  Longitudinal coupled-bunch oscillations are an important limitation for the high-brightness beams accelerated in the CERN PS. Up to the present intensities they are suppressed by a dedicated feedback system limited to the two dominant oscillation modes. In view of the proposed installation of a wide-band feedback kicker cavity within the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU), measurements have been performed with the existing damping system with the aim of dimensioning the new one. Following the excitation of well-defined oscillation modes, damping times and corresponding longitudinal kick strength are analysed. The paper summarizes the results of the observations and gives an outlook on the expected performance with the new coupled-bunch feedback.

  The LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU) has been initiated to improve the performances of the existing injector complex at CERN to match the future requirements of the HL-LHC. In this framework, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) will undergo fundamental changes for many of its main systems: the injection energy will be increased to reduce space-charge effects, the transverse damper will be improved to cope with transverse instabilities the RF systems will be upgraded to accelerate higher beam intensity and brightness. These hardware improvements are triggered by a series of studies meant to identify the most critical performance bottlenecks, like space charge, impedances, longitudinal and transverse instabilities, as well as electron-cloud. Additionally, alternative production schemes for the LHC-type beams have been proposed and implemented to circumvent some of the present limitations. A summary of the most recent advances of the studies, as well as the proposed hardware improvements is given.

  The gamma beam system of the European ELI-NP proposal foresees the use of a multi-bunch train colliding with a high intensity recirculated laser pulse. The linac energy booster is composed of 14 travelling wave C-Band structures, 1.8 m long with a field phase advance per cell of 2π/3 and a repetition rate of 100 Hz. Because of the multi-bunch operation, the structures have been designed with a damping of the HOM dipoles modes in order to avoid beam break-up (BBU). In the paper we discuss the design criteria of the structures also illustrating the effectiveness of the damping in the control of the BBU. Prototype activity is finally illustrated.

  The beam coupling impedance could lead to limitations in beam brightness and quality, and therefore it needs accurate quantification and continuous monitoring in order to detect and mitigate high impedance sources. In the CERN machines, for example, kickers and collimators are expected to be the main contributors to the total imaginary part of the transverse impedance. In order to detect the other sources, a beam based measurement was developed: from the variation of betatron phase beating with intensity, it is possible to detect the locations of main impedance sources. In this work we present the application of the method with beam measurements in the CERN PS, SPS and LHC.
