  The LHC operation relies on a good knowledge of the optics, usually corrected in absence of beam-beam interactions. In a near future, both the LHC and the HL-LHC will need to cope with large head-on beam-beam parameters, the impact on the optics needs to be understood and, if necessary, corrected. The results of a dedicated experiment performed at injection energy are discussed in this paper.

A parasitic effect of k-modulation is that if the modulated quadrupole has an offset the modulation results in a dipole like kick forcing the beam on a new orbit. This paper presents a new method using the orthonormality of singular value decomposition that uses this new orbit to estimate the offset. This could be used to measure misalignments or crossing angles but could also help improve k-modulation \beta measurements by predicting the parasitic tune change caused by the new orbit not passing through the centre of the sextupoles.
