Proposal for 3.5 TeV measurements
Unlike at injection, we cannot lose the full beam! We have to be very careful with damage and quenches, even with pilot beam! Idea: local bumps in the triplet with safe, blown-up pilot bunch and tertiary
collimators to protect the tripletEven if we planned to work with safe beam, a detailed planning was submitted to rMPP for approval.Selective emittance blow-up tested in the MD with the ADT: looks very promising and opens the path for efficient measurements at top energy.

Example of 3.5 TeV measurementProcedure for “gentle” measurements:
1. Open TCT by 0.5 sigma (250-320μm in H-V)2. Increase bump by 0.25 sigma3. Check relative height of BLM spikes: TCT vs MQX (Q2)
Start from initial settings: TCTs at 11.8 sigmas.

IR1 - H (Sep) -> 19.8 - 20.3 sigmas IR1 - V (Xing) -> 18.3 - 18.8 sigmas IR5 - H (Xing) -> 19.8 - 20.3 sigmas IR5 - V (Sep) -> > 20.3 sigmas Resolution:
0.5 sigmas from TCT step size
This means that we had to open the TCT by 6.0-7.5 sigmas to “see” the triplet aperture. Present assumptions: 2 sigma retraction.Effect of bump shape (RBCX contribution) under investigation.
What could we do if these good aperture was confirmed?Squeeze below 1m with tight collimator settings
or
Run at 1m with present relaxed collimator settings and 120 μrad crossingIn operation!

2011 injection measurementsMeasurements performed at the end of Feb. 2011.
- Essentially, the same geometry as 3.5 TeV was used: additional crossing angles added on top of reference orbit.
- Used a different method to “touch” the aperture: (emittance blow-up + local bump at the triplet).
- Measured absolute aperture and not retraction to TCT.

3.5 TeV loss maps at 1m,Xing = 120μrad, relaxed collimator settings
Loss maps cannot easily be used to determine the margin TCT to triplet (MP relevant) but clearly the MQX were not exposed to beam halo. Cleaning looks good. Seen some leakage TCT → MQX for B2, IR1-L.

Conclusions• We measured gently the aperture in the triplet region at
3.5 TeV.– Triplets in the shade of the TCT– 4 planes in 2 IPs: 1 fill, < 5h at top energy
• Preliminary analysis: indicated a triplet aperture of ~ 18-20 sigmas. – Inferred from the retraction of the TCTs that sit at ~ 12
sigmas.• Comparison with previous injection measurements show
that these figures are consistent with a few millimeters.• Triplet aperture compatible with a well-aligned machine, a
well centred orbit and a ~ design mechanical aperture (small tolerance).
• Parasitically tune and coupling were measured during the scans: they might provide information on triplet FQ.
