Measurement and correction of charged particle beam optics have been a major concern
since the advent of strong focusing synchrotron accelerators. Traditionally, particle colliders …

Since 2015 the LHC has been operating at 6.5 TeV. In 2016 the β-functions at the interaction
points of ATLAS and CMS were squeezed to 0.4 m. This is below the design β*= 0.55 m at 7 …

Amplitude detuning measurements in the LHC have shown that a significant amount of
detuning is generated via feed-down from high-order field errors in the magnets of the …

Measurement and correction of focusing errors is of great importance for performance and
machine protection of circular accelerators. Furthermore LHC needs to provide equal …

In 2017, optics commissioning strategy for low-β* operation of the CERN Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) underwent a major revision. This was prompted by a need to extend the …

The first proton run of the LHC was very successful and resulted in important physics
discoveries. It was followed by a two-year shutdown where a large number of improvements …

Optics corrections in the LHC are based on a response matrix between available correctors
and observables. Supervised learning has been applied to optics correction in the LHC …
