	The Diode ORbit and OScillation System (DOROS) system is designed to provide accurate measurements of the beam position in the LHC. The oscillation part of the system, which is able to provide turn-by-turn data, is used to measure the transverse coupling. Since the system provides high resolution measurements for many turns only small excitations are needed to accurately measure the transverse coupling. In this article we present the performance the system to measure coupling and compare it to the BPMs not equipped with this system.

MOPOR011	Impedance Localization Measurements using AC Dipoles in the LHC	614
	N. Biancacci, L.R. Carver, G. Papotti, T. Persson, B. Salvant, R. Tomás CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The knowledge of the LHC impedance is of primary importance to predict the machine performance and allow for the HL-LHC upgrade. The developed impedance model can be benchmarked with beam measurements in order to assess its validity and limit. This is routinely done, for example, moving the LHC collimator jaws and measuring the induced tune shift. In order to localize possible unknown impedance sources, the variation of phase advance with intensity between beam position monitors can be measured. In this work we will present the impedance localization measurements performed at injection in the LHC using AC dipoles as exciter as well as the underlying theory.

	The online model of the LHC aims to provide an accurate description of the machine at any given time. In order to do so it extracts the current optics in the machine along with other crucial parameters. It also provides the functionality to match the measured orbit using virtual correctors and the measured beta functions using virtual quadrupoles. In this way an accurate effective model can be created. In order to facilitate the use of the online model a graphical user interface has been developed. In this article we describe the design of the online model and its application in different studies. We give examples how it has been used to predict the influence of changes before they were applied to the machine.

TUPMW036	Optimizing Chromatic Coupling Measurement in the LHC	1520
	T. Persson, R. Tomás CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Optimizing chromatic coupling measurement in the LHC Chromatic coupling introduces a dependency of transverse coupling with energy. LHC is equipped with skew sextupoles to compensate the possible adverse effects of chromatic coupling. In 2012 a beam-based correction was calculated and applied successfully for the fist time. However, the method used to reconstruct the chromatic coupling was dependent on stable tunes and equal chromaticities between the horizontal and vertical planes. In this article an improved method to calculate the chromatic coupling without these constraints is presented.

WEPOR007	Recent Improvements in Drive Beam Stability in CTF3	2677
	L. Malina, R. Corsini, D. Gamba, T. Persson, P.K. Skowroński CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) uses a high intensity, low energy drive beam producing the RF power to accelerate the low intensity main beam with 100 MeV/m gradient. This scheme puts stringent requirements on drive beam stability in terms of phase, energy and current. Finding and understanding the sources of jitter plays a key role in their mitigation. In this paper, we report on the recent studies in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3). New jitter and drift sources were identified and adequate beam-based feed-backs were implemented and commissioned. Finally, we present the resulting improvement of drive beam stability.

	The LHC beta functions (β) can be measured using the phase or the amplitude of betatron oscillations obtained with beam position monitors (BPMs). Using the amplitude information results in a β measurement affected by BPM calibration. This work aims at calibrating BPMs using optics measurements. For this, βs from amplitude and phase and normalized dispersion obtained from many different measurements in 2015 with different optics and corrections are analyzed. Simulations are also performed to support the analyses.

	In preparation of the optics commissioning at an energy of 6.5 TeV, many improvements have been done to cope with the expected reduced signal to noise ratio due to lowered bunch intensities imposed by machine protection considerations. This included, among others, an increase of the flat top duration of the AC dipole excitations, which allowed to use more turn-by-turn data for the analysis. The longer data acquisition revealed slow drifts of the optics, which limited the increased measurement precision. Furthermore, we will present how orbit drifts influenced dispersion measurements and, as a consequence, posed another limitation for the optics correction. In this paper we will discuss the implications of these observations for the measurement and correction of the optics.

	The N-BPM and the Amplitude methods, which are used in the LHC for beam optics measurement, were applied to the ESRF storage ring. We compare the results to the Orbit Response Matrix (ORM) method that is routinely used in the ESRF. These techniques are conceptually different since the ORM is based on the orbit response upon strength variation of steering magnets while the LHC techniques rely on the harmonic analysis of turn-by-turn position excited by a kicker or an AC dipole. Finally, we compare these methods and show the differences in their performance in the ESRF environment.

	The CLIC Test Facility CTF3 was build, commissioned and operated at CERN by an international collaboration, with the aim of validating the CLIC two beam acceleration scheme, in which the RF power used to accelerate e⁺/e⁻ beams is extracted from a high intensity electron beam. In the past years the main issues of such a scheme were assessed, demonstrating its feasibility. The CTF3 experimental programme is complementing these results by addressing cost and performance subjects, mainly using the CALIFES test beam injector and a full scale two-beam module. In this paper we document the present status and give an outlook to next year run, when the experimental programme should be completed.

	Future operations of the LHC will require a good understanding of the nonlinear beam dynamics. In 2012, turn-by-turn measurements of large diagonal betatron excitations in LHC Beam 2 were taken at injection energy. Spectral analysis of these measurements shows an anomalous octupolar spectral line at frequency -Qx-2Qy in the horizontal motion. The presence of this spectral line, as well as other lines, was confirmed by measurements taken for LHC Beam 1 and Beam 2 during the commissioning in 2015. We take a close look at the various spectral lines appearing in the LHC transverse motion in order to improve the LHC nonlinear model.

	E.H. Maclean, F.S. Carlier, M. Giovannozzi, A. Langner, S. Mönig, T. Persson, P.K. Skowroński, R. Tomás CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Correction of nonlinear magnetic errors in low-β insertions can be of critical significance for the operation of a collider. This is expected to be of particular relevance to LHC Run II and the HL-LHC upgrade, as well as to future colliders such as the FCC. Current correction strategies for these accelerators have assumed it will be possible to calculate optimized local corrections through the insertions using a magnetic model of the errors. To test this assumption the nonlinear errors in the LHC experimental insertions have been examined via feed-down and amplitude detuning. It will be shown that while in some cases the magnetic measurements provide a sufficient description of the errors, in others large discrepancies exist which will require beam-based correction techniques.
