Maintaining head-on collisions over many hours is an important aspect of optimizing the performance of a collider. For current LHC operation where the beam optics is fixed during periods of colliding beam, mainly ground motion induced perturbations have to be compensated. The situation will become significantly more complex when luminosity leveling will be applied following the LHC luminosity upgrades. During β* leveling the optics in the interaction region changes significantly, feed-downs from quadrupole misalignment may induce significant orbit changes that may lead to beam offsets at the collision points. Such beam offsets induce a loss of luminosity and reduce the stability margins for collective effects that is provided by head-on beam-beam. It is therefore essential that the beam offsets at the collision points are minimized during the leveling process. This paper will review sources and mitigation techniques for the orbit perturbation at the collision points during β* leveling, and present results of experiments performed at the LHC to mitigate and compensate such offsets.

Ground motion compensation using feed-forward control is a novel technique being developed to combat beam imperfections resulting from the vibration-induced misalignment of beamline components. The method is being evaluated experimentally at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2). It has already been demonstrated that the beam position correlates with the readings from a set of seismometers located along the beamline. To compensate for this contribution to the beam jitter, the fully operational system will use realtime measurement and processing in order to calculate and apply the feed-forward correction on a useful time scale. The progress towards a working system is presented in this paper.

In its currently-envisaged initial stage, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) will collide beams with a 380 GeV center of mass energy. To maintain the luminosity within a few percent of the design value, beam stability at the interaction point (IP) must be controlled at the sub-nanometer level. To help achieve such control, use of an intra-pulse IP feedback system is planned. With CLIC's very short bunch spacing of 0.5 ns, and nominal pulse duration of 176 ns, this feedback system presents a significant technical challenge. Furthermore, as part of a study to optimize the design of the beam delivery system (BDS), several L* configurations have been studied. In this paper, we will review the IP feedback simulations for the 380 GeV machine for two L* configurations, and compare luminosity recovery performance with that of the original L* configuration in the 3 TeV machine.
