Conclusions and outlook
Conclusions and Outlook Beam-beam interactions can limit the machine performance. Luminosity imbalance, machine protection Induced β-beating can be corrected, at least partially, by matching local magnet strenghts to the multipolar terms of the BB kick expansion. Successful application to the current LHC optics (RMS beating < 1 %) Linear HO corrected with matching quadrupoles LR quadrupolar term corrected via sextupole feed-down Compensation scheme involving common sextupoles has negligible impact on DA. First measurements and test of correction in LHC anyalsis on-going Extension to higher orders, and to the HL-LHC: Compensation of beam-beam octupolar component via feed-down from decapoles (not present in the LHC) 16 / 16
