Emittance Evolution in the LHC: From Injection to Collisions
The emittance of the LHC beams when arriving in collisions is a key parameter for luminosity. Hence, the emittance of the beams from the injector complex needs to be preserved as well as possible throughout the cycle for maximum luminosity. Moreover, due to the V/H crossing scheme in IP1 and 5, non-...

Sumario: | The emittance of the LHC beams when arriving in collisions is a key parameter
for luminosity. Hence, the emittance of the beams from the injector complex
needs to be preserved as well as possible throughout the cycle for maximum
luminosity. Moreover, due to the V/H crossing scheme in IP1 and 5, non-round
emittances yield different luminosities for ATLAS and CMS. Such a difference was
e.g. observed in 2016 proton physics operation. This contribution analyzes the
emittance evolution throughout the LHC nominal cycle in 2017. The emittance
growth from injection to collisions is studied and the different emittance
measurements are compared. Reproducible bunch patterns are shown and differences
between the operational beam types (BCMS, 8b4e) are highlighted. Also, the
roundness of the beams and the impact on the ATLAS to CMS luminosity ratio is
assessed.
