Abstract

Closed-orbit and linear coupling corrections have been studied for the LHC lattice, using different samples of the random error imperfections. Distortions in the closed-orbit are mainly due to alignment and field errors of the main magnets. The main source of the linear coupling is found to be the skew quadrupole component of the dipoles, with its random and systematic part. The linear imperfections expected in the LHC are large enough to prevent the confinement of the beam in the vacuum chamber. Beam position monitors and correction dipoles near each lattice quadrupole are able to reduce the RMS closed-orbit distortion to below 1 mm.<>
