The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most energetic particle collider. It
took many years to plan and build this large complex machine which promises exciting, new …

In this thesis, the problem of the transverse coupled-bunch instabilities created by the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) beam-coupling impedance, that can possibly limit the machine …

One source of experimental background in the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is
particles entering the detectors from the machine. These particles are created in cascades …

In the years 2009–2013 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been operated with the top
beam energies of 3.5 and 4 TeV per proton (from 2012) instead of the nominal 7 TeV. The …

The data produced at the particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
contain not only the signals from the collisions, but also a background component from …

In this paper, we review the functionality and status of the collimation version of SixTrack. It is
a simulation tool that contains both an accurate magnetic tracking of an ensemble of …

At present, the beam-based alignment of the LHC collimators is performed by touching the
beam halo with both jaws of each collimator. This method requires dedicated fills at low …

A collimation system is installed in the Large Hadron Collider to protect its super-conducting
magnets and sensitive equipment from potentially dangerous beam halo particles. The …

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with a complex collimation system to protect
sensitive equipment from unavoidable beam losses. Collimators are positioned close to the …

The available aperture in the LHC imposes a lower limit on the achievable $\beta^* $. The
aperture must be protected by the collimation system, and the collimator families have to be …
