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.

Fast pulsed magnets with ferrite yokes are used in CERN?s SPS accelerator for beam injection, extraction and excitation for tune measurements. The impedance of the ferrite structures can provoke significant beam induced heating, especially for beams with high peak currents as for LHC operation, even beyond the Curie temperature. The expected heating in the different kicker systems for various operational modes is compared with beam measurements. Estimates of the beam induced power have been derived from measured beam spectra. A fast extraction kicker system has recently been equipped with a cooling system. The measured cooling performance is compared with data from laboratory setups and numerical simulations.

We analyze the resistive wall impedance with an "inductive bypass" due to alternate current paths in the outer vacuum chamber proper. Also the corresponding wake function has been obtained which is useful for the simulation of beam stability in the time domain. Results are presented for the LHC.
