	Following the recurrent beam induced RF issues that perturbed LHC operation during LHC Run 1, a series of actions were put in place to minimize the risk that similar issues would occur in LHC Run 2: longitudinal impedance reduction campaign and/or improvement of cooling for equipment that were problematic or at the limit during Run 1, stringent constraints enforced on new equipment that would be installed in the machine, tests to control the bunch length and longitudinal distribution, additional monitoring of temperature, new monitoring tools and warning chains. This contribution reports the outcome of these actions, both successes as well as shortcomings, and details the lessons learnt for the future runs.

THPMW028	High Voltage Performance of Surface Coatings on Alumina Insulators	3603
	A. Adraktas, M.J. Barnes, H.A. Day, L. Ducimetière CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Alumina insulators and dielectrics are required for a variety of applications in particle accelerators. Their use in high voltage devices, both pulsed and DC, is well established as both insulation and mechanical support. In accelerator equipment the alumina is usually used in ultra-high vacuum and hence charge accumulation can be an issue, especially when the alumina is near to the beam. To address challenges regarding surface flashover and high secondary electron yield in high intensity accelerators, surface treatments and coatings are being considered. This paper presents predictions of the influence of surface coatings, on alumina insulators, upon electric field.

THPMW030	Studies of Impedance-related Improvements of the SPS Injection Kicker System	3611

	The injection kicker system for the SPS consists of sixteen magnets housed in a total of four vacuum tanks. The kicker magnets in one tank have recently limited operation of the SPS with high-intensity beam: this is due to both beam induced heating in the ferrite yoke of the kicker magnets and abnormally high pressure in the vacuum tank. Furthermore, operation with the higher intensity beams needed in the future for HL-LHC is expected to exacerbate these problems. Hence studies of the longitudinal beam coupling impedance of the kicker magnets have been carried out to investigate effective methods to shield the ferrite yoke from the circulating beam. The shielding must not compromise the field quality or high voltage behaviour of the kicker magnets and should not significantly reduce the beam aperture: results of these studies, together with measurements, are presented. In addition results of tests to identify the causes of abnormal outgassing are presented.

THPMW031	Current and Future Beam Thermal Behaviour of the LHC Injection Kicker Magnet	3615
	H.A. Day, M.J. Barnes, L. Ducimetière, L. Vega Cid, W.J.M. Weterings CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	During Run 1 of the LHC the injection kicker magnets caused occasional operational delays due to beam induced heating with high bunch intensity and short bunch lengths. Significant upgrades were carried out to the injection kicker magnets during long shutdown 1, including a new design of beam screen to reduce the beam induced heating. Nevertheless these kicker magnets may limit the performance of HL-LHC unless additional, mitigating, measures are taken. Hence extensive simulations have been carried out to predict the distribution of the beam induced power deposition within the magnet and detailed thermal analyses carried out to predict the temperature profiles. To benchmark the simulations the predicted temperatures are compared with observables in the LHC. This paper reports on observations of the thermal behaviour of the magnet during run 2 of the LHC, with 25ns beam. In addition the measurement data is used to extrapolate temperature rise for the beam parameters expected for high-luminosity LHC.

	During Run 1 of the LHC the injection kicker magnets caused occasional operational delays due to beam induced heating with high bunch intensity and short bunch lengths. In addition, sometimes there were also sporadic issues with microscopic unidentified falling objects, vacuum activity and electrical flashover of the injection kickers. An extensive program of studies was launched and significant upgrades were carried out during long shutdown 1. These upgrades include a new design of a beam screen to both reduce the beam coupling impedance of the kicker magnet, and to significantly reduce the electric field associated with the screen conductors, hence decreasing the probability of electrical breakdown in this region. In addition new cleaning procedures were implemented and equipment adjacent to the injection kickers and various vacuum components were modified. This paper presents operational experience of the injection kicker magnets during Run 2 of the LHC and assesses the effectiveness of the various upgrades.
