  Motivated by the study of collective effects in small systems with oxygen-oxygen (O-O) collisions, and improvements to the understanding of high-energy cosmic ray interactions from proton-oxygen (p-O) collisions, a short LHC oxygen run during Run 3 has been proposed. This article presents estimates for the obtainable luminosity performance in these two running modes based on simulations of a typical fill. The requested integrated luminosity, projected beam conditions, data-taking and commissioning times are considered and a running scenario is proposed.

  The protection of the tertiary collimators (TCTs) and the LHC triplet aperture in case of a so-called asynchronous beam dump relies on the correct retraction between the TCTs and the dump region absorbers. A new method to validate this retraction has been proposed, and a proof-of-principle experiment was performed at the LHC. The method uses a long orbit bump to mimic the change of the beam trajectory caused by an asynchronous firing of the extraction kickers. It can, thus, be performed with circulating beam. This paper reports on the performed beam measurements, compares them with expectations and discusses the potential benefits of the new method for machine protection.
