  During 2012 the LHC was operating at 4TeV with beta star at ATLAS and CMS interaction points of 0.6m. During dedicated machine studies the nominal LHC optics was also setup with beta star of 0.4m. A huge effort was put into the optics commissioning leading to a record low peak beta-beating of around 7%. We describe the correction procedures and discuss the measurement results.

The monitors for the high luminosity regions in the LHC have been operating since 2009 to optimize the LHC's luminosity. The devices are gas ionization chambers inside the neutral particle absorber 140 m from the interaction point and monitor showers produced by high energy neutral particles from the collisions. They have the ability to resolve the bunch-by-bunch luminosity as well as to survive the extreme level of radiation in the nominal LHC operation. The devices have operated on a broad range of luminosity, from the initial 1028 until the levels well beyond 1033 reached in 2012. We present operational results of the device during proton and lead ion operations until LS1, which include runs at 40 MHz bunch rate and with p-Pb collisions.

In high brightness colliders, the tune spread due to the collisions has a significant impact on the quality of the beams. The impact of the working point on emittance growth and beam lifetime has been observed in beam experiments in LHC. Strong-strong beam-beam simulations that were accomplished to better understand such observations are shown. Compared to experiments, wide ranged parameter scans can be done easily. Tune footprints and scans of the emittance growth obtained from simulations are discussed. Three cases are considered: Very high intensity, moderate intensity and collisions with separated beams.

  The ESS Linac Simulator, ELS, will be the core of the online model used in the normal operations of the ESS linac. ESS Linac Simulator will operate through the eXtensible Accelerator Language, XAL, in order to provide an effective interface capable to simulate and predict the beam dynamics of the accelerator. The ELS is capable of simulating the dynamics of the beam envelope in both transverse and longitudinal planes in real time. In order to validate the effectiveness of the physics implemented, the ELS calculations are here benchmarked with TraceWin: the simulation code used for the design of the accelerator.

  The control of the betatron coupling at injection and during the energy ramp is critical for the safe operation of the tune feedback and for the dynamic aperture. In the LHC every fill is preceded by the injection of a pilot bunch with low intensity. Using the injection oscillations from the pilot bunch we are able to measure the coupling at each individual BPM. The measurement is used to calculate a global coupling correction. The correction is based on the use of two orthogonal knobs which correct the real and imaginary part of the difference resonance term f1001, respectively. This method to correct the betatron coupling has been proven successful during the normal operation of the LHC. This paper presents the method used to calculate the corrections and its performance.  
 
WEPEA040 Space Charge and Cavity Modeling for the ESS Linac Simulator 2588

  The proton linac of the European Spallation Source will operate at unprecedented beam power of 5 MW. Such power requires a precise modeling of the beam dynamics in order to protect its components from losses. The high peak current of 62.5 mA produces a space charge force that dominates the dynamics at low energy, while the high gradient required to accelerate up to 2 GeV in the 500 m of linac length is challenging for the dynamics in the RF cavities. This paper presents modelings of the space charge force and RF cavities used in the ESS Linac Simulator. The simulator is under development as part of the XAL on-line model, and it will be adopted for the ESS linac operations.  
 
THPWO073 European Spallation Source Afterburner Concept 3924

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a long pulsed source based on a high power superconducting linac. The long pulse concept is an excellent strategy of maximizing high beam power while minimizing peak power on the target. Chopping in the long pulse concept provides the necessary resolution for many neutron physics applications. However, there are some neutron physics applications in which both peak neutron flux and high resolution are desired. The peak flux of the ESS can be enhanced by placing an accumulator ring at the end of the linac. A bunch by bunch extraction scheme can be used to optimize the proton pulse time profile that maximizes peak neutron flux while minimizing instantaneous beam power on the target.
