In the framework of the HL-LHC Upgrade project we present a new possible variant for the layout of the LHC matching section located in the high luminosity insertions. This layout is optimized to reduce the demand on the voltage of the crab cavities, while substantially improving the optics squeeze-ability, both in ATS [1] and non-ATS mode. These new layout will be described in details together with its performance figures in terms of mechanical acceptance, chromatic properties and optics flexibility. [1] S.

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.

The ATS[1] optics solution for the HL-LHC offers the possibility of different collision optics, with a β* as small as 10 cm in both transverse planes, or with a β* aspect ratio of up to 4 pushing β* to even smaller value (5cm) in the parallel separation plane while relaxing it (20 cm) in the crossing plane. The latter configuration features two possible options for alternated orientations of the crossing plane in the two high luminosity insertions, both considered in this study. In this paper we study the impact of few selected field imperfection models of the new magnets foreseen for the upgrade through tracking simulations and scaling laws.

The HL-LHC project relies on large aperture quadrupoles which are compatible with the very large beam sizes in the inner triplets resulting from the strong reduction of β*. As a result the beam is much more sensitive to non-linear perturbations in this region, such as those induced by the fringe fields of the low-beta quadrupoles. The spatial extension of these fringe fields increases as well more or less linearly with the coil aperture, which is an additional motivation to analyse this aspect in detail in the framework of the High Luminosity LHC design study. This paper will quantify this effect both by direct analytical estimates using first order Hamiltonian perturbation theory, and via numerical studies thanks to the dedicated implementation of a fringe field symplectic integrator in SixTrack.
