HL-LHC and LIU Cost and Schedule Review:
At the request of the Management of CERN, an extensive Cost and Schedule Review of both the LIU and HL-LHC projects was carried out in March 2015. This International Review was conducted by the CERN Machine Advisory Committee members (CMAC), helped by reviewers called to cover some specific items of the review. The baseline of both projects, which includes the scope description, the schedule and the cost, was assessed. The assessment was taking into account the technical developments that were still ongoing and focused on management methods applied by both projects, including how risks and uncertainties are managed. The final report and recommendations provided by the review committee is annexed to this document. The management of CERN is now calling a second Cost & Schedule review of the LIU and HL-LHC projects. This review will be organized between the 17 and 19 October 2016.
