The LHC design parameters extend the maximum stored beam energy 2-3 orders of magnitude beyond present experience. The handling of the high-intensity LHC beams in a super-conducting environment requires a high-robustness collimation system with unprecedented cleaning efficiency. For gap closures down to 2mm no beam instabilities may be induced from the collimator impedance. A difficult trade-off between collimator robustness, cleaning efficiency and collimator impedance is encountered. The conflicting LHC requirements are resolved with a phased approach, relying on low Z collimators for maximum robustness and hybrid metallic collimators for maximum performance. Efficiency is further enhanced with an additional cleaning close to the insertion triplets. The machine layouts have been adapted to the new requirements. The LHC collimation hardware is presently under design and has entered into the prototyping and early testing phase. Plans for collimator tests with beam are presented.

The improved LHC collimation system required significant changes in the layout and design of the warm insertion IR7. Requirements for collimation, optics, impedance, vacuum, and additional infrastructure are described and the adopted layout is discussed. Various design principles have been explored during the re-design, ranging from a regular 90 degree lattice and special low impedance lattices to an option with additional warm quadrupole units that could have extended the usable space for collimator installations in the insertion. The various constraints for the optics and cleaning design in the LHC cleaning insertions are summarized. Magnet positions and collimators were moved significantly, such that a good cleaning efficiency was maintained while impedance was reduced by a factor of two. Metallic phase 2 collimators allow a better efficiency than originally achievable and additional scrapers were allocated. The required infrastructure was specified, including a powerful cooling system for the collimators.

We investigate the maximum LHC performance for a possible IR design based on classical Nb-Ti insertion magnets. We then extend our analysis to a ternary Nb-based ductile alloy such as Nb-Ti-Ta, a less developed but relatively cheap super-conducting material which would allow us to gain about 1 T of peak field on the coils, and discuss the corresponding luminosity reach for a possible LHC upgrade compared to that based on Nb3Sn magnet technology.

The joint effect of space-charge non-linearities and octupole lenses is discussed for the case of a quasi-parabolic transverse distribution of a monochromatic beam. The self-consistent non-linear space-charge tune shift corresponding to the above distribution function is first derived analytically. The exact dispersion relation is also given but not solved. Instead, noting that a good approximation of the non-linear space-charge tune shift is obtained considering only linear terms in the action variables, the dispersion relation is solved analytically in this approximate case. As expected, in the absence of external (octupolar) non-linearities, the result of Möhl and Schönauer is recovered: there is no stability region. In the absence of space charge, the stability diagrams of Berg and Ruggiero are also recovered. Finally, the new result is applied to the LHC at injection.

We compare the predications of electron-cloud build-up simulations with measurements at the CERN SPS. Specifically, we compare the electron flux at the wall, electron-energy spectra, heat loads, and the spatial distribution of the electrons for two different bunch spacings, with variable magnetic fields, and for several chamber temperatures and associated surface conditions. The simulations employ a modified, improved version of the ECLOUD code. The main changes are briefly described. We finally present updated simulation results for the heat load in the cold LHC arcs.

Several computer codes written at various laboratories are employed for modelling the generation and the consequences of an electron cloud. We review the most popular of these programs, which simulate either the build of an electron cloud or the instabilities it produces, and we compare simulation results for identical, or similar, input parameters obtained from the various codes.
