  Early collisions in the LHC with a very limited number of bunches with high intensities indicated the presence of coherent beam-beam driven oscillations. Here we discuss the experimental results and compare with the expectations.

The phase advance between the two interaction points in RHIC is optimized for dynamic aperture for a initial design beta-star. This may not hold true as RHIC presently operates with a considerably reduced beta-star. Additionally the reduction of the available beam aperture due to an enlarged chromatic beta-beating is evident. Results from phase advance scans between the two IPs to reduce the chromatic beta-beating in model and measurements are presented. Impact on the single beam lifetime and momentum aperture is compared to the nominal optics.
