EDITORS' SUGGESTION

LHC optics commissioning: A journey towards 1% optics control

T. Persson, F. Carlier, J. Coello de Portugal, A. Garcia-Tabares Valdivieso, A. Langner, E. H. Maclean, L. Malina, P. Skowronski, B. Salvant, R. Tomás, and A. C. García Bonilla

Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 20, 061002 (2017) - Published 19 June, 2017

Enhanced optics-correction techniques have supported LHC operation and allowed a control of these beta functions to better than 1%, ensuring equal luminosity in the two main experiments.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Lattice design and expected performance of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment demonstration of ionization cooling

M. Bogomilov et al. (The MICE collaboration)

Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 20, 063501 (2017) - Published 19 June, 2017

Detailed simulations yield the expected emittance reduction including statistical uncertainty for a revised experimental demonstration of muon ionization cooling.
