The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) aims to achieve an integrated luminosity of 250-300 fb-1 per year. This upgrade includes the use crab cavities to mitigate the geometric loss of luminosity arising from the beam crossing angle. The tight space constraints at the location of the cavities leads to cavity designs which are axially non-symmetric and have a potentially significant effect on the long term dynamics and dynamic aperture of the LHC. In this paper we present the current status of advanced modelling of crab cavities.

  Crab cavities (CCs) are a key ingredient of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC)  to ensure head on collisions at the main experiments (ATLAS and CMS) and fully profit from the smaller β* provided by the ATS optics. At KEKB, CCs have exhibited abrupt changes of phase and voltage during a time period of few LHC turns and considering the large energy stored in the HL-LHC beam, CC failures represent a serious risk to the LHC machine protection. In this paper, we discuss the effect of CC voltage or phase changes on a time interval similar to, or longer than, necessary to dump the beam.  The simulations assume a realistic steady-state distribution to assess the beam losses for the HL-LHC.  Additionally, some strategies are studied to mitigate the damage caused by the failures.

The LHC upgrade will significantly improve the performance of the current LHC operation with higher collision energy and luminosity. In the paper, we report on the progress in the strong-strong beam-beam simulation of the HL-LHC upgrade with crab cavity compensation. We will present the study of the effects of accelerator tune working points, dipole noise, and crab cavity noise on colliding beam emittance growth.

  In this paper we present dynamic aperture studies for possible High Luminosity LHC optics in the presence of beam-beam interactions, crab crossing schemes and magnets multipolar errors. Possible operational scenarios of luminosity leveling by transverse offset and betatron function are also studied and the impact on the beams stability is discussed.
