Abstract The Schottky monitors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be used for non-invasive beam diagnostics to estimate various bunch characteristics, such as tune, chromaticity, profile or synchrotron frequency distribution. However, collective effects, in particular beam-coupling impedance, significantly affect spectra when large charges are involved. In conditions, available interpretation methods difficult apply directly measured spectra, thus preventing extraction and machine...
