	For the HL-LHC it is planned to basically double the diameter of the triplet quadruple magnets around the high luminosity insertions of the LHC. The high luminosity experiments ATLAS and CMS would like to keep a small central chamber radius close the interaction point. In the context of collider-experiment studies for the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC, we present a first study of the possible consequences of these changes for the experimental running conditions based on detailed simulations with tracking. We have started to implement crab cavity failures and discuss first results from these simulations.

The MYRRHA project currently under development at Mol, Belgium, is an Accelerator Driven System expected to be operational in 2023 with the primary purpose to study the feasibility of efficiently transmuting nuclear waste products into isotopes with much shorter lifetimes. The reactor, which is expected to have a thermal power of ~70 MW, may be operated in subcritical mode when fed by spallation neutrons obtained from a 600 MeV superconducting proton linac hitting a Liquid Pb-Bi eutectic (LBE) target with an average current of 4 mA. The challenging aspect of the MYRRHA linac resides in its very high availability (close to 100%) with a Mean Time Between Failure expected to be higher than 250 hours. This paper presents the strategic approach taken during the design of the linac and its foreseen operation to fulfill this stringent requirement. In particular we will describe the concept of a beam dynamics based control system also called Virtual Accelerator which will be mandatory for the operation of such linac.
