MOPME076	Determination of Octupole and Sextupole Polarities in the LHC	655
	M.J. McAteer, Y.I. Levinsen, E.H. Maclean, T. Persson, P. Skowroński, R.J. Steinhagen, R. Tomás CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	We report the results of measurements to verify the polarity of the LHC’s lattice focusing and defocusing octupoles (MOF and MOD), spool piece octupole correctors (MCO), arc skew sextupole correctors (MSS), and interaction region sextupoles (MCSX and MCSSX). Octupole polarities were determined by measuring the change to second order chromaticity when a magnet family was trimmed. The MSS skew sextupole corrector polarities were checked by measuring the change to chromatic coupling when a magnet family was trimmed. The polarities of the MCSSX skew sextupoles in IR 1 and the MCSX normal sextupoles in IR 5 were checked by measuring the tune shift due to a magnet trim. Comparison of measurements with model predictions indicates that the polarities of the octupoles and the IR sextupoles are correct, and the polarities of the MSS skew sextupole correctors are reversed.

	During 2012 the LHC was operating at 4TeV with beta star at ATLAS and CMS interaction points of 0.6m. During dedicated machine studies the nominal LHC optics was also setup with beta star of 0.4m. A huge effort was put into the optics commissioning leading to a record low peak beta-beating of around 7%. We describe the correction procedures and discuss the measurement results.

	The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) International Collaboration is pursuing an extensive R&D program towards a multi-TeV electron-positron collider. In particular, the development of two beam acceleration technology is the focus of the CLIC test facility CTF3. In this paper we summarize the most recent results obtained at CTF3: the results of the studies on the drive beam generation are presented, the achieved two beam acceleration performance is reported and the measured break-down rates and related observations are summarized. The stability of deceleration process performed over 13 subsequent modules and the comparison of the obtained results with the theoretical expectations are discussed. We also outline and discuss the future experimental program.

	The first high-luminosity p-Pb run at the LHC took place in January-February 2013 at an energy of 4 Z TeV per beam. The RF frequency difference of proton and Pb is about 60 Hz for equal magnetic rigidities, which means that beams move slightly to off-momentum, non-central, orbits during physics when frequencies are locked together. The resulting optical perturbations ("beta-beating") restrict the available aperture and required a special correction. This was also the first operation of the LHC with low beta in all four experiments and required a specific collimation set up. Predictions from offline calculations of beta-beating correction are compared with measurements during the optics commissioning and collimator set up.

TUPME039	The Drive Beam Phase Stability in CTF3 and its Relation to the Bunch Compression Factor	1655
	E. Ikarios, A. Andersson, J. Barranco, B. Constance, R. Corsini, A. Gerbershagen, T. Persson, P. Skowroński, F. Tecker CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is based on a two-beam acceleration scheme. The energy needed to accelerate a low intensity "main" beam is provided by a high intensity, low energy "drive" beam. The precision and stability of the phase relation between two beams is crucial for the performance of the scheme. The tolerable phase jitter is 0.2 deg rms at 12GHz. For this reason it is fundamental to understand the main possible causes of the drive beam timing jitter. Experimental work aimed at such understanding was done in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) where a drive beam with characteristics similar to the CLIC one is produced. Several phase measurements allowed us to conclude that the main source of phase jitter is energy jitter of the beam transformed and amplified into phase jitter when passing through a magnetic chicane. This conclusion is supported by measurements done with different momentum compaction values in the chicane. In this paper the results of these several phase measurements will be presented and compared with expectations.

TUPWO048	Understanding the Tune, Coupling, and Chromaticity Dependence of the LHC on Landau Octupole Powering	1976
	E.H. Maclean, M. Giovannozzi, W. Herr, Y.I. Levinsen, G. Papotti, T. Persson, P. Skowroński, R. Tomás, J. Wenninger CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	During the 2012 LHC run there were several observations of unexpectedly large shifts to the tune, chromaticity, and coupling which were correlated with changes in the powering of Landau octupoles (MO). Understanding the chromaticity dependence is of particular importance given it's influence on instabilities. This paper summarizes the observations and our attempts to-date to understand the relationship between Q, Q', c- and the MO powering.

TUPWO049	Automatic Correction of Betatron Coupling in the LHC using Injection Oscillations	1979

	The control of the betatron coupling at injection and during the energy ramp is critical for the safe operation of the tune feedback and for the dynamic aperture. In the LHC every fill is preceded by the injection of a pilot bunch with low intensity. Using the injection oscillations from the pilot bunch we are able to measure the coupling at each individual BPM. The measurement is used to calculate a global coupling correction. The correction is based on the use of two orthogonal knobs which correct the real and imaginary part of the difference resonance term f1001, respectively. This method to correct the betatron coupling has been proven successful during the normal operation of the LHC. This paper presents the method used to calculate the corrections and its performance.

TUPWO050	Commissioning and Operation at β^* = 1000 m in the LHC	1982
	H. Burkhardt, T. Persson, R. Tomás, J. Wenninger CERN, Geneva, Switzerland S. Cavalier LAL, Orsay, France
	We have developed a special optics with a β^* of 1000 m for two interaction regions (IR1 and IR5) in the LHC, to produce very low divergence beams required for elastic proton-proton scattering. We describe the design, commissioning and operation of this optics in the LHC. The β^* of 1000 m was reached by de-squeezing the beams using 17 intermediate steps beyond the β^* of 90 m, which had been the previous highest β^* value reached in the LHC. The optics was measured and the beta beating globally corrected to a level of 10 per cent.

We report the results of measurements to verify the polarity of the LHC’s lattice focusing and defocusing octupoles (MOF and MOD), spool piece octupole correctors (MCO), arc skew sextupole correctors (MSS), and interaction region sextupoles (MCSX and MCSSX). Octupole polarities were determined by measuring the change to second order chromaticity when a magnet family was trimmed. The MSS skew sextupole corrector polarities were checked by measuring the change to chromatic coupling when a magnet family was trimmed. The polarities of the MCSSX skew sextupoles in IR 1 and the MCSX normal sextupoles in IR 5 were checked by measuring the tune shift due to a magnet trim. Comparison of measurements with model predictions indicates that the polarities of the octupoles and the IR sextupoles are correct, and the polarities of the MSS skew sextupole correctors are reversed.

The proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is based on a two-beam acceleration scheme. The energy needed to accelerate a low intensity "main" beam is provided by a high intensity, low energy "drive" beam. The precision and stability of the phase relation between two beams is crucial for the performance of the scheme. The tolerable phase jitter is 0.2 deg rms at 12GHz. For this reason it is fundamental to understand the main possible causes of the drive beam timing jitter. Experimental work aimed at such understanding was done in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) where a drive beam with characteristics similar to the CLIC one is produced. Several phase measurements allowed us to conclude that the main source of phase jitter is energy jitter of the beam transformed and amplified into phase jitter when passing through a magnetic chicane. This conclusion is supported by measurements done with different momentum compaction values in the chicane. In this paper the results of these several phase measurements will be presented and compared with expectations.

During the 2012 LHC run there were several observations of unexpectedly large shifts to the tune, chromaticity, and coupling which were correlated with changes in the powering of Landau octupoles (MO). Understanding the chromaticity dependence is of particular importance given it's influence on instabilities. This paper summarizes the observations and our attempts to-date to understand the relationship between Q, Q', c- and the MO powering.

The control of the betatron coupling at injection and during the energy ramp is critical for the safe operation of the tune feedback and for the dynamic aperture. In the LHC every fill is preceded by the injection of a pilot bunch with low intensity. Using the injection oscillations from the pilot bunch we are able to measure the coupling at each individual BPM. The measurement is used to calculate a global coupling correction. The correction is based on the use of two orthogonal knobs which correct the real and imaginary part of the difference resonance term f1001, respectively. This method to correct the betatron coupling has been proven successful during the normal operation of the LHC. This paper presents the method used to calculate the corrections and its performance.

We describe the design, commissioning and operation of this optics in the LHC. The β^* of 1000 m was reached by de-squeezing the beams using 17 intermediate steps beyond the β^* of 90 m, which had been the previous highest β^* value reached in the LHC. The optics was measured and the beta beating globally corrected to a level of 10 per cent.
