LHC optics commissioning: A journey towards 1% optics control
Since 2015 the LHC has been operating at 6.5 TeV. In 2016 the β-functions at the interaction points of ATLAS and CMS were squeezed to 0.4 m. This is below the design β^{*}=0.55 m at 7 TeV, and has been instrumental to surpass the design luminosity of 10^{34} cm^{-2} s^{-1}. Achieving a lower than...
