Abstract :
The LHC injection transfer lines will transport intense high-energy beams over considerable distances. Their relatively tight apertures require precise control of the trajectory. An analytic method has been developed to optimize the performance, reliability and cost of these lines. This method invokes a comprehensive set of performance criteria, makes detailed predictions on orbit correction effectiveness, configuration defects and critical elements, and gives indications for improvement. A path approaching an optimized configuration can thus be established based on well-defined quantitative criteria
