Optics interlock system for the CERN LHC: Implementation and operational experience

In 2016 the luminosity reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was increased by reducing the β-function in the main collision points below the design value to β^{*}=40  cm. This was possible thanks to a specially matched betatron phase advance between the extraction kickers and some sensitive machi...
