Optics functions

The nominal optics functions are shown in the table below.

BGI ßH [m] ßV [m] DH [m]
Optics functions of BGIs on SPS and LHC
LHC.B1H 311.9 95.3  
LHC.B1V 308.5 94.9  
LHC.B2H 274.8 212.2  
LHC.B2V 270.8 213.1  
SPS.H 87.9 25.6 -0.17
SPS.V 24.3 91.2 -0.40

Numerous measurements, calculations and discussions took place in order to:

1. establish what are the actual values of optics functions in the location of BI instruments in various moments of the supercycle,

2. design new IR4 optics, resulting in beam sizes more optimal for being measured by BI instruments (WS, BSRT, BGI, BGV).
