Open questions – Field quality of the double half-quad & correction scheme – Dispersion matching for the chromatic correction – 2 nd order dispersion cancellation 18 Jose L. Abelleira. Towards an extremely-flat beam optics with large crossing angle for the LHC.

Conclusions An extremely-flat beam optics (β y * /β y * =100) is conceptual possible for LHC – Large Piwinski angle, to reduce the collision area and allow for a lower β y decrease – Local vertical chromatic correction – Possibility to have crab waist collisions that can increase luminosity and suppress resonances – Can accept higher brightness. The performance of the new optics can be improved – Future half-quad designs (Nb 3 Sn) – Using a flat emittance – HE-LHC? Already flat emittance due to SR 19 Jose L. Abelleira.
