  While linear LHC dynamics is mostly understood and under control, non-linear beam dynamics will play an increasingly important role in the challenging regimes of future LHC operation. In 2012, turn-by-turn measurements of large betatron excitations of LHC Beam 2 at injection energy were carried out. These measurements revealed an unexpectedly large spectral line in the horizontal motion with frequency Qx+2Qy. Detailed analyses and simulations are presented to unveil the nature of this spectral line.

  The amplitude detuning has been observed to decrease significantly as the horizontal and vertical tunes are approaching each other. This effect is potentially harmful since it might cause a loss of Landau damping, hence giving rise to instabilities. The measured tune split (Qx-Qy) versus amplitude is several times bigger than what can be explained with linear coupling. In this paper we present studies performed to identify the dominant sources of the non-linear coupling observed in the LHC.
