Abstract :
Experiments with two prototype long-range beam-beam compensators (current-carrying wires) during the 2004 CERN SPS run explored the efficiency of a proposed long-range beam-beam compensation for the LHC. In addition, the SPS compensators were also used to “simulate” the effect of different planes of crossing at two LHC interaction points. We present the experimental results and compare them with computer simulations.
