The luminosity upgrade project of the LHC collider at CERN is based on a strong focusing scheme to reach smallest beam sizes at the collision points. Depending on the available magnet technology (Nb3Sn or NbTi) a number of beam optics has been developed to define the specifications for the new super conducting quadrupoles. In the context of the optics matching new issues have been addressed and new concepts have been used: Quadrupole strength flexibility and chromatic corrections have been studied, as well as the influence of quadrupole fringe fields. The lattice has been optimised including the needs of the foreseen crab cavities and the transition between injection and low β optics had to guarantee smooth gradient changes over a wide range of β* values. Tolerances on misalignments and power converter ripple have been re-evaluated. Finally the combination of the quadrupole strengths in the high luminosity matching sections with those in the neighboring sectors is explained, a key concept of the ATS to reach smallest β* values. This paper presents the results obtained within the HiLumi collaboration Task 2.2 and summarises the main parameters of the project.

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.
