LHC Optics Web Home

The website contains information optics models for the LHC. Twiss table, madx scripts, plots can be browsed by selecting a scenario, an optics configuration and the data under interest.

About

These LHC Optics Web pages may be accessed via the LHC Project Home (click on the link for "Lattice and Optics") or directly at http://cern.ch/proj-lhc-optics-web/. An easy-to-remember shortcut is: cern.ch/lhcoptics You should be able to type this directly into your Web browser's address bar. The data is organized in a hierarchy as follows:

Optics Scenarios: the scenario that can be associated to a layout and a particular use of the machine a given time (e.g. pp Run 2015, HL-LHCV1.2).
Configuration: the state of the machine for which an optics exist (e.g. injection, end-of-ramp, squeeze 0.50-0.50-3.00-10.00) with a given value of the avaialble knows. A corresponding madx file will be given for the user to change the knobs.
Selection: Part of the machine under interest (e.g. whole ring, IR2, ARC34)
Data: The type of data generated by the model (e.g. Twiss parameters, Orbits, Apertures) in tabular form (TFS table, CSV table) or in plots.
