  Longitudinal multi-bunch instability in the CERN SPS with a very low intensity threshold is a serious limitation for the future doubling of bunch intensity required by Hi-Lumi LHC project. A complete and accurate impedance model is essential to understand the nature of this instability and to plan possible cures. This contribution describes in detail the current longitudinal impedance model of the SPS. Recently, the model was updated with new findings and includes now the impedance of accelerating cavities, kicker and septum magnets, beam position monitors, vacuum Flanges, shielded and unshielded pumping ports, electrostatic septa and resistive wall. Electromagnetic simulations and bench measurements were used to build the model. The contribution from each element is described and compared to the total machine impedance. Together with relevant beam measurements and simulations, the analysis of the different sources of impedance is used to identify the source of the longitudinal instability limiting the SPS performance so that the responsible elements can be acted upon.

  In the framework of the UA9 experiment, the Cherenkov detector is useful to measure the amount of particles deflected by a bent crystal, proving the crystal collimation principle. The tank used to host this device is taken as a case study for an in-depth analysis of different damping strategies for electromagnetic modes which otherwise would give rise to important beam-coupling impedance contributions. Such strategies involve the use of ferrite, damping resistors and a mode-coupler, a solution which intercepts the modes inside the cavity but damps the related power outside the vacuum tank (potentially avoiding heating). Such solutions are discussed through experimental measurements and the relative quality factor is taken as a figure of merit.

  The current knowledge of the transverse impedance of the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been established with beam-based measurements at different energies. The transverse coherent tune shift as a function of the beam intensity has been measured in order to evaluate the total effective imaginary part of the transverse impedance and its localization in the accelerator at the energies of 2, 7, 13 and 25 GeV. Measurements have been performed changing the chromaticity for every tune shift scan with intensity. The data analysis revealed an increase of impedance with chromaticity for all the energies considered. That transverse impedance can be compared with the previously evaluated theoretical impedance budget taking into account the individual contribution of several machine devices. The missing impedance is finally highlighted.

MOPJE049 Benchmarking the CERN-SPS Transverse Impedance Model with Measured Headtail Growth Rates 402

  The latest SPS transverse impedance model includes kicker magnets, wall impedance, transition pieces (e.g. flanges and vacuum chamber discontinuities), beam position monitors and RF cavities. The model has already been successfully benchmarked against coherent tune shift and transverse mode coupling instability measurements. In this paper we present measurements of the headtail growth rates for a wide range of negative chromaticities and for two different configurations of machine optics (nominal and low gamma transition). The measurement results are compared with HEADTAIL simulations using the wake fields obtained from the SPS transverse impedance model.

  The injector complex of the LHC is undergoing important changes in the light of the LIU project to provide brighter beams to the LHC. For this reason and as part of the High Luminosity LHC project the injection protection system of the LHC will be upgraded in the Long Shutdown 2 (2018 - 2019) to be able to protect downstream elements against injection failures with the high brightness, high intensity HL-LHC beams. The upgraded LHC injection protection system will consist of a segmented injection protection absorber TDIS, and auxiliary collimators and masks. The layout modifications are described, and the machine element protection and absorber jaw robustness studies are presented for the new systems.
