	Funding: supported by the US Department of Energy contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. The FACET accelerator facility is designed to provide short and intense e^- or e⁺ bunches with small spot size for plasma wakefield accelerator research and other experiments. It is based on the SLAC linac with a compressor chicane in sector-10, and a second compressor chicane and final focus in sector-20 (S20). Originally, the S20 chicane was designed to be compatible with an upgrade to include a second S20 chicane for simultaneous transport of e^- and e⁺ bunches. This placed additional optics constraints which lead to strong focusing in the S20 chicane. The latter increases the effects of errors causing emittance growth. Lately, it has been decided not to proceed with the upgrade option. Therefore, there is a potential for improving the optics by relaxing the constraints. In this study, we explore alternative optics designs where beta functions in the S20 chicane and final focus are reduced in order to minimize the error effects. The optics and non-linear aberrations are evaluated, and the chromatic correction is optimized for each design. Beam tracking simulations are performed using Elegant and Lucretia. The most optimal designs are identified based on these simulations.

WEPEA058	LSS Layout Optimizations for Low-beta Optics for the HL-LHC	quadrupole, optics, sextupole, luminosity	2639

	Funding: The HiLumi LHC Design Study is included in the HL-LHC project and is partly funded by the European Commission within the Framework Programme 7 Capacities Specific Programme, Grant Agreement 284404 The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project aims to upgrade the existing LHC to a peak luminosity of the order 10³⁵cm^-2s⁻¹, while retaining as much of the nominal layout and hardware as possible. The current baseline for this upgrade is the use of the Achromatic Telescopic Squeeze (ATS) concept, which allows mini-Beta squeeze in IRs 1 and 5 (ATLAS and CMS respectively) far below that possible with nominal optics. However it is useful to both explore the parameter space of the ATS scheme while also attempting to push the boundaries of the nominal layout. This paper presents a study into maximising optical flexibility of the nominal LHC Long Straight Sections (LSSs) around IPs 1 and 5. This involves replacing, moving or adding magnets within the LSS to investigate feasibility of exploiting a more conventional optical scheme than the ATS scheme. In particular the option of replacing single LSS quadrupoles with doublets is explored. The study also looks at making similar changes to the LSS while also implementing the ATS scheme, to further explore the ATS parameter space with the benefit of experience gained into flexibility of a modified nominal LHC optical scheme.
