  During the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2015, increased injection losses were observed. To minimize stress on accelerator components in the injection regions of the LHC and to guarantee an efficient operation these losses needed to be understood and possible mitigation techniques should be studied. Measurements with diamond particle detectors revealed the loss structure with ns-resolution for the first time. Based on these measurements, recaptured beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) surrounding the nominal bunch train was identified as the major contributor to the injection loss signals. Methods to reduce the recaptured beam in the SPS were successfully tested and verified with the diamond particle detectors. In this paper the detection and classification of LHC injection losses are described. The methods to reduce these losses and verification measurements are presented and discussed.

  In case a Future Circular Collider for hadrons (FCC-hh) is constructed at CERN, the tunnels for SPS, LHC and the 100 km collider will be available to house a High Energy Booster (HEB). The different machine options cover a large technology range from an iron-dominated machine in the 100 km tunnel to a superconducting machine in the SPS tunnel. Using a modified LHC as reference, these options are compared with respect to their energy reach, magnet technology and filling time of the collider. Potential issues with beam transfer, reliability and beam stability are presented.

  The CERN PS Booster (PSB) has four vertically stacked rings. After extraction from each ring, the bunches are recombined in two stages, comprising septum and kicker systems, such that the accumulated bunch train is injected through a single line into the PS. Bunches from the four rings go through a different number of vertical bends, which leads to differences in the betatron and dispersion functions due to edge focussing. The fast pulsed systems at PSB extraction, recombination and PS injection lead to systematic errors of delivery precision at the injection point. These error sources are quantified in terms of emittance growth and particle loss. Mitigations to reduce the overall emittance growth at the PSB to PS transfer within the LHC injectors upgrade are presented.

  Safely extracting and absorbing the 50 TeV proton beams of the FCC-hh collider will be a major challenge. Two extended straight sections (ESS) are dedicated to beam dumping system and collimation. The beam dumping system will fast-extract the beam and transport it to an external absorber, while the collimation system will protect the superconducting accelerator components installed further downstream. The high stored beam energy of about 8.5 GJ per beam means that machine protection considerations will severely constrain the functional design of the ESS and the beam dump line geometry, in addition to dominating the performance specifications of the main sub-systems like kickers and absorber blocks. The general features, including concept choice, optics in the ESS and beam dump line, passive protection devices, layout and integration are described and discussed.

  A field-free region can be created within a dipole magnet using a superconducting shield, which maintains persistent eddy currents induced during the ramp-up of the magnet. We will study the possibility to realize a high-field superconducting septum magnet using this principle. Properties of different configurations will be presented, and compared to the requirements of the FCC dump system.

  Diamond particle detectors have been used in the LHC to measure fast particle losses with a nanosecond time resolution. In addition, these detectors were installed in the PS and the SPS. The detectors are mounted close to the extraction septum of the PS (transfer line to SPS) and the SPS (transfer lines TI2 and TI8 to LHC). Mainly, they monitor the losses occurring during the extraction process but the detectors are also able to measure turn-by-turn losses in the accelerators. In addition, detailed studies concerning losses due to ghost bunches were performed. This paper will describe the installed diamond detector setup, discuss the measurement results and possible loss mitigations.

  A 100 TeV center-of-mass energy frontier proton collider in a new tunnel of ~100 km circumference is a central part of CERN's Future Circular Colliders (FCC) design study. One of the major challenges for such a machine will be the beam injection and extraction. This paper outlines the recent developments on the injection and extraction kicker system concepts. For injection the system requirements and progress on a new inductive adder design will be presented together with first considerations on the injection kicker magnets. The extraction kicker system comprises the extraction kickers itself as well as the beam dilution kickers, both of which will be part of the FCC beam dump system and will have to reliably abort proton beams with stored energies in the range of 8 Gigajoule. First concepts for the beam dump kicker magnet and generator as well as for the dilution kicker system are described and its feasibility for an abort gap in the 1 μs range is discussed. The potential implications on the overall machine and other key subsystems are outlined, including requirements on (and from) dilution patterns, interlocking, beam intercepting devices and insertion design.
