Following the high integrated luminosity accumulated in the first two Pb-Pb collision runs in 2010 and 2011, the LHC heavy-ion physics community requested a first run with p-Pb collisions. This almost unprecedented mode of collider operation was not foreseen in the baseline design of the LHC whose two-in-one magnet design imposed equal rigidity and, hence, unequal revolution frequencies, during injection and ramp. Nevertheless, after a successful pilot physics fill in 2012, the LHC provided 31 nb^-1 of p-Pb luminosity per experiment, at an energy of 5.02 TeV per colliding nucleon pair, with several variations of the operating conditions, in early 2013. Together with a companion p-p run at 2.76 TeV, this was the last physics before the present long shutdown. We summarise the beam physics, operational adaptations and strategy that resulted in extremely rapid commissioning. Finally, we give an account of the progress of the run and provide an analysis of the performance.

In the future High Luminosity (HL-)LHC the influence of intra-beam scattering (IBS) will be stronger than in the present LHC, because of higher bunch intensity, small emittance and new optics. The new ATS-optics scheme modifies the lattice in the arcs around the main interaction points (IP) to provide β* values as small as 0.15m in the IP, however those modifications affect the IBS growth rates. In this paper proton IBS emittance growth rates are calculated with MADX and the Collider Time Evolution (CTE) program for two ATS-optics versions, different settings of the crossing angles and required corrections and various beam conditions at injection (450 GeV) and collision (7 TeV) energy. CTE simulations of the expected luminosity, intensity, emittance and bunch length evolution during fills are also presented

Bunch-by-Bunch Analysis of the LHC Heavy-Ion Luminosity

After the first run in 2010, the LHC continued its heavy-ion operation with collisions of lead nuclei in late 2011. The beam dynamics of those high intensity lead beams are strongly influenced by intra-beam scattering (IBS), especially on the injection plateau. Each batch injected from the SPS spends a different time at injection, introducing significant changes from batch to batch. Within the batches there is an even larger spread imprinted by the SPS injection plateau. This results in a spread of the luminosity produced in each bunch crossing. The particle losses during collisions are dominated by nuclear electromagnetic processes, leading to a non-exponential intensity decay during the fill and short luminosity lifetime at 3.5 Z TeV. The luminosity, emittance, intensity and bunch length evolution of the 2011 run was analysed bunch-by-bunch and compared with simulations. Based on this analysis, estimates of the potential luminosity performance at 6.5 Z TeV, after the present shutdown, are given.

About 30 % of the potential luminosity performance is lost through the different phases of the LHC cycle, mainly due to transverse emittance blow-up. Measuring the emittance growth is a difficult task with high intensity beams and changing energies. Improvements of the LHC transverse profile instrumentation helped to study various effects. A breakdown of the growth through the different phases of the LHC cycle is given as well as a comparison with the data from the LHC experiments for transverse beam size. In 2012 a number of possible sources and remedies have been studied. Among these are intra beam scattering, 50 Hz noise and the effect of the transverse damper gain. The results of the investigations are summarized in this paper. Requirements for transverse profile instrumentation for post LHC long shutdown operation to finally tackle the emittance growth are given as well.

In high brightness colliders, the tune spread due to the collisions has a significant impact on the quality of the beams. The impact of the working point on emittance growth and beam lifetime has been observed in beam experiments in LHC. Strong-strong beam-beam simulations that were accomplished to better understand such observations are shown. Compared to experiments, wide ranged parameter scans can be done easily. Tune footprints and scans of the emittance growth obtained from simulations are discussed. Three cases are considered: Very high intensity, moderate intensity and collisions with separated beams.
