Lessons from LHC Commissioning

  Although not without some setbacks, LHC commissioning progressed relatively smoothly and led into a period of productive exploitation. This despite its complexity, the large scale use of superconductivity, and the attendant machine protection risks from stored magnetic and beam energy. The commissioning history is recalled. An attempt is made to extract possible elements of the general approach that might useful in a wider context.

  The J-PARC 3-GeV RCS started 1-MW beam test from October 2014, and successfully achieved a 1-MW beam acceleration in January 2015. The most important issues in realizing such a high power routine beam operation are control and minimization of beam loss. This talk will present the recent progress of 1-MW beam tuning, especially focusing on our approaches to beam loss issues.

In recent years the proton and ion beam intensity (as well as the current density) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory improved considerably. Thanks to an upgrade of the polarized proton source we plan to increase the proton intensity to 3.0·1011 per bunch. In order to accommodate the amplified beam-beam effect originating from proton beams with this unprecedented intensity, a beam-beam compensation scheme with a new lattice and two electron lenses (e-lenses) was installed, commissioned and began operation during the 2015 polarized 100 GeV proton Run.
