Objectives and Priorities

• Recover from big-bang– Aperture and alignment– RF controls– Impedance reduction

LHC-Beam

• One batch 4 1010/bunch at 450GeV with right emittances (3.5 m).

• Can we handle 3 (4) batches with the nominal distance.

High intensity proton beams

• High intensity CT in PPM mode.

• Beam loading (FF)

• RF power needed

• how much can we get through transition.

LHC

• Define and measure observables to test simulation hypothesis.

• Electron cloud monitor (stripes)
