Lene Norderhaug Drosdal12/12/2011, 16:15During the LHC proton run 2011 large drifts, shot-by-shot and even bunch-by-bunch trajectory variations were observed with the consequence of high losses at injection and frequent lengthy trajectory correction campaigns. The different effects will be quantified and an estimate for downtime caused by them in 2011 will be given. The sources of the instabilities, solutions for 2012 and achievable...Go to contribution page

Wolfgang Bartmann12/12/2011, 16:40Injection losses are compared for 2010 and 2011 operation. Mitigation techniques which were put in place in 2010 to reduce losses at injection are described. Issues in 2011 operation, their potential improvements, the experiments' view on beam quality at injection and the performance reach for 2012 are shown.Go to contribution page

Karel Cornelis12/12/2011, 17:05Beam parameters such as intensity, bunch intensity distribution, longitudinal emittances, satellite population, transverse emittances and beam tails, require frequent trimming in PSB, CPS and SPS. In 2011, operators on all three machines gained a lot of experience on the preparation of high quality LHC beams. From this experience we can present procedures and scenarios for the preparation of...Go to contribution page

Chiara Bracco12/12/2011, 17:35Performance and failures of the LHC injection and extraction system are presented. In particular, comparison with 2010 run, lessons learnt during operation with high intensity beams and foreseen upgrades are described. UFOs, vacuum and impedance problems related to the injection and extraction equipments are analysed together with possible improvements and solutions. New implemented features,...Go to contribution page
