The largest contribution to the LHC transverse resistive wall impedance is given by the graphite collimators. Such a contribution is predicted by analytical calculations. A series of laboratory measurements were performed to experimentally validate the analytical results in the case of small gaps and in a low frequency regime where the skin depth becomes comparable to the collimator thickness. The measurement method consists in determining the dependence of a probe coil input impedance on the surrounding materials and was applied to sample graphite plates, stand alone LHC collimator jaws and a full collimator assembly. After reviewing the measurement procedures, problematics and stages, the results are compared to analytical predictions and numerical simulations.

The construction of a Superconducting Proton Linac is planned at CERN during the next decade. It is foreseen to be constructed in two stages: a low duty cycle, low-power linac (LPSPL) as an injector for a new 50 GeV synchrotron (PS2) replacing the present PS, which could be upgraded to a high-duty cycle, high-power linac (HPSPL), for the needs of future facility(ies) requiring a multi-MW beam power. In this paper we present the criteria which were used to choose the frequency, gradient, and cryogenic temperature of the SPL. Since these questions are common to other proposed high-power proton linacs, we propose a generalization of the arguments. The various design options are discussed as well as their impact on beam dynamics, cavity performance, power consumption, cryogenics, overall efficiency, and cost of the facility.
