  In order to facilitate studies of how dynamically changing element attributes affect the dynamics of the beam and beam losses, the functionality for dynamic kicks (DYNK) of SixTrack has been significantly extended. This functionality can be used for the simulation of dynamic scenarios, such as when crab cavities are switched on, orbit bumps are applied, optics are changed, or failures occur. The functionality has been extended with a more general and flexible implementation, such that arbitrary time-dependent functions can be defined and applied to different attributes of families or individual elements, directly from the user input files. This removes the need for source code manipulation, and it is compatible with LHC@Home which offers substantial computing resources from volunteers. In this paper, the functionality and implementation of DYNK is discussed, along with examples of application to the HL-LHC crab cavities.

Since quite some time, dynamic aperture studies have been undertaken with the aim of specifying the required field quality of the new magnets that will be installed in the LHC ring in the framework of the high-luminosity upgrade. In this paper the latest results concerning the specification work will be presented, taking into account both injection and collision energies and the field quality contribution from all the magnets in the newly designed interaction regions.

For the HL-LHC, β* values as small as 15 cm are envisaged as baseline scenario for the high luminosity insertions IR1 and IR5, thus leading to an increase of the maximum beta-functions in the inner triplet (IT). The larger beta-functions in the IT result in a higher sensitivity of the beam to any linear or non-linear, static or dynamic, field imperfections in the IT region. In this paper, we summarize accordingly the tolerances of the triplet power supplies in terms of current ripple, stability and reproducibility. Both the baseline IT powering scheme and other alternative schemes will be presented, the later reducing the tune shift caused by a current modulation and thus weakening its possible impact on the long term stability.

In this paper we review the orbit correction strategy and crossing scheme adjustment for the HL-LHC orbit correctors in IR1/5 in view of the new optics and layout version HLLHCV1.1. The main objectives are to optimize the crossing scheme, in particular to reduce the strength of the orbit correctors at D2, and to validate the strength specifications of the several orbit corrector magnets involved, including a budget reserved for the correction of the orbit distortions from various sources.

The optics and layout of the HL-LHC are evolving as the new hardware is being studied and integrated, any additional requirements from the experiments detailed, and other constraints of different nature clarified. Here we present the changes of version 1.1 of the optics and layout with respect to the previous version 1.0, which include the current hardware choices and an outlook on the main resulting optics limitations and the possible future evolutions of the layout.

For the HL-LHC beam spot sizes as small as 7 mum are considered for the high luminosity insertions IR1 and IR5. In addition, the luminosity has to be levelled over several hours by changing β* resulting in constant changes of the optics and thus orbit changes. The small beam size and the continuous optics changes in general make the alignment of the beams at the IP challenging. In order to avoid continuous luminosity scans for the alignment of the beams at the IP, the orbit correction has to rely on the readings of the BPMs in the IT region. In this paper we review the requirements on resolution and accuracy of the BPMs and compare different options for the placement of the BPMs in the IT region.

  The LHC Run I has provided a huge amount of data that can be used to deepen the understanding of the beam behaviour. In this paper the focus is on the analysis of transverse tunes at injection energy to detect signs of intensity-dependent effects. BPM data, recording the injection oscillations of the operational beams during the ring-filling phase, have been analysed in detail to enable extracting useful information about the tune shift vs. injected beam intensity. The data processing and the results are discussed in detail, including also possible implications for future operation.
