MD2723 - Amplitude Detuning Studies at 6.5 TeV with Various Configurations of the Crossing Scheme

Particular interst exists to better understand the amplitude detuning through the LHC cycle in order to shed some light on possible sources of instabilities, and better prepair for the β* squeeze to 25cm in 2018. This note reports on the amplitude etuning measurements taken on the 3rd of December of 2017 during MD2723. Amplitude detuning measurements are presented at flattop with crossing angles and at end-of-squeeze with and without crossing angles. Furthermore tests of the skew octupolar corrections in IP5 done at the end of the MD are presented, with specific focus on forced DA and resonance driving terms measurements.
