The transverse impedance in the LHC is expected to be dominated by the numerous collimators, most of which are made of Fibre-Reinforced-Carbon to withstand the impacts of high intensity proton beams in case of failures, and which will be moved very close to the beam, with full gaps of few millimetres, in order to protect surrounding super-conducting equipments. We present an estimate of the transverse resistive-wall impedance of the LHC collimators, the total impedance in the LHC at injection and top energy, the induced coupled-bunch growth rates and tune shifts, and finally the result of the comparison of the theoretical predictions with measurements performed in 2004 and 2006 on a prototype collimator installed in the SPS.

Following the first observation of a fast vertical instability for a single high-brightness bunch at injection in the SPS in 2003, a series of detailed measurements and simulations has been performed in order to assess the resulting potential intensity limitations for the SPS, as well as possible cures. During the 2006 run, the characteristics of this instability were studied further, extending the intensity range of the measurements, and comparing the experimental data with simulations that take into account the latest measurements of the transverse machine impedance. In this paper, we summarize the outcome of these studies and our understanding of the mechanisms leading to this instability. The corresponding intensity limitations were also determined.
