Substantial upgrades were carried out to the MKI beam screen during LS1: as a result MKI heating has not limited LHC operation since LS1, and is not expected to do so during Run 2. Similarly, during LS1, the vacuum systems on the interconnects between MKI magnets were upgraded: as a result there haven’t been any issues with SIS vacuum thresholds on the interconnects between adjacent MKIs....
