Discussion of their role in LHC physics operations
Candidates for impedance-driven beam instabilities
Abstract
Observations of single bunch beam-beam coherent modes during dedicated experiments in the LHC are presented. Their role in standard operation for physics is discussed and, in particular, candidates of beam-beam coherent mode driven unstable by the machine impedance are presented.
