Each year several measurements of the beam coupling impedance are performed in both longitudinal and transverse planes of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron to keep track of its evolution. In parallel, after the extensive and successful campaign of identification, classification and cure of the possible sources of (mainly longitudinal) impedance between 1998 and 2001, a new campaign (essentially for the transverse impedance this time) has started few years ago, in view of the operation of the SPS with higher intensity for the LHC luminosity upgrade. The present paper summarizes the results obtained from the measurements performed over the last few years and compares them to our predictions. In particular, it reveals that the longitudinal impedance is reasonably well understood and the main contributors have already been identified. However, the situation is quite different in the transverse plane: albeit the relative evolution of the transverse impedance over the last few years can be well explained by the introduction of the nine MKE kickers necessary for beam extraction towards the LHC, significant contributors to the SPS transverse impedance have not been identified yet.

The Tracking Code PLACET has recently undergone several improvements. A redesign of its internal data structures and a new user interface based on the mathematical toolbox Octave have considerably expanded its simulation capabilities. Several new lattice elements, optimization algorithms and physics processes have been added to allow for more complete start-to-end simulations. The usage of the AML language and the Universal Parser Library extened its interfacing capability.

The LHeC collides a lepton beam with one of the intense, LHC, hadron beams. It achieves both e± interactions with quarks at the terascale, at eq masses in excess of 1 TeV, with a luminosity of about 1033 cm-2 s-1, and it also enables a sub-femtoscopic probe of hadronic matter at unprecedented chromodynamic energy density, at Bjorken-x values down to 10-6 in the deep inelastic scattering domain. The LHeC combines the LHC infrastructure with recent advances in radio-frequency, in linear acceleration and in other associated technologies, to enable two proposals for TeV ep collisions: a "ring-ring" option in which 7 TeV protons (and ions) collide with about 70 GeV electrons/positrons in a storage ring in the LHC tunnel and a "linac-ring" option based on an independent superconducting linear accelerator enabling single-pass collisions of electrons and positrons of up to about 140 GeV with an LHC hadron beam. Both options will be presented and compared. Steps are outlined for completing a Conceptual Design Review of the accelerator complex, beam delivery, luminosity, physics and implications for experiment, following declared support by ECFA and by CERN for a CDR.

The total energy loss of coasting gold ion beams was measured at RHIC at two energies, corresponding to a gamma of 75.2 and 107.4. We describe the experiment and observations and compare the measured total energy loss with expectations from ionization losses at the residual gas, the energy loss due to impedance and synchrotron radiation. We find that the measured energy losses are below what is expected from free space synchrotron radiation. We believe that this shows evidence for suppression of synchrotron radiation which is cut off at long wavelength by the presence of the conducting beam pipe.

We report on studies of optics flexibility which allow for tune changes of the order of half a unit at top energy in the LHC. We describe how this could be done using one or several of the insertions IR2, IR4, IR8 or the main quadrupoles and discuss and compare the implications. This flexibility could be used to compensate for the loss in tune for high beta optics and may make it feasible to use the standard injection and ramp for these configurations. Potential further applications are also highlighted.

An insertion optics with a beta-star of at least 2600 m has been requested by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. This is very far from the standard LHC physics optics and implies a significant reduction in the phase advance from this insertion corresponding to about half a unit in tune. We describe several alternatives how this could be integrated in overall LHC optics solutions with the possibility to inject, ramp and un-squeeze to the required very high beta.

The superconducting orbit corrector magnets (MCBC and MCBY) in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be used to generate parallel separation and crossing angles at the interaction points during the different phases that will bring the LHC beams into collision. However, the field errors generated by the inherent hysteresis in the operation region of the orbit correctors may lead to unwanted orbit perturbations that could have a critical effect on luminosity. This paper presents the results obtained from dedicated cryogenic measurements on the orbit correctors from the simulated results on the impact of the hysteresis on the LHC orbit.

The LHeC aims at the generation of Hadron-Lepton collisions with center of mass energies in the TeV scale and luminosities of the order of 1033 cm-2 sec-1 by taking advantage of the existing LHC 7 TeV proton ring and adding a high energy electron accelerator. This paper presents technical considerations and potential parameter choices for such a machine and outlines some of the challenges arising when an electron storage ring based option, constructed within the existing infrastructure of the LHC, is chosen.

We describe various parameter scenarios for a ring-linac ep collider based on LHC and an independent s.c. electron linac. Luminosities of order 1032/cm2/s can be achieved with a standard ILC-like linac, operated either in pulsed or cw mode, with acceptable beam power. Reaching much higher luminosities, up to 1034/cm2/s and beyond, would require the use of two linacs and the implementation of energy recovery. Advantages and challenges of a ring-linac ep collider vis-a-vis an alternative ring-ring collider are discussed.

Fast scrapers are installed in the SPS to detect and remove beam halo before extraction of beams to the LHC, to minimize the probability for quenching of super-conducting magnets in the LHC. We shortly describe the current system and then focus on our recent work, which aims at providing a system which can be used as operational tool for standard LHC injection. A new control application was written and tested with the beam. We describe the current status and results and compare these with detailed simulations.
