  Recently, we conducted successful studies on the suitability of machine learning (ML) methods for optics measurements and corrections, incorporating novel ML-based methods for local optics corrections and reconstruction of optics functions. After performing extensive verifications on simulations and past measurement data, the newly developed techniques became operational in the LHC commissioning 2022. We present the experimental results obtained with the ML-based methods and discuss future improvements. Besides, we also report on improving the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) diagnostics with the help of the anomaly detection technique capable to identify malfunctioning BPMs along with their possible fault causes.

  After almost 4 years of shutdown the LHC is again operational in 2022. Experience from the previous Long Shutdown (LS) has shown that the local errors around the triplet magnets changed significantly and it is likely we will again see different errors in 2022. In the LHC there is an interplay between the linear and the nonlinear correction which can make the corrections difficult and time-consuming to find. In this article, we describe the measurements and corrections performed during the commissioning in 2022 in order to control both the linear and the nonlinear optics to high precision.
