Towards the challenging Dynamic Aperture goals of Run 4
The recent IPAC’23 conference was an ideal opportunity to present and discuss within our community the status of the beam dynamics simulations for Run 4, marking the start of HL-LHC operation. At top energy, proton beams will circulate in the machine for about 10 hours, covering inside the LHC ring about half the distance of
