Description
The goal for 2011 is to deliver an integrated luminosity of one inverse femtobarn to the experiments. This will require to gain an order of magnitude in peak luminosity, i.e. run with values of more than 1E33 cm-2s-1, whereas a maximum of ~2.07E32 cm-2s-1 was achieved so far. Many collective effects were observed this year, first when the intensity per bunch was increased and subsequently when the number of bunches was pushed up and the bunch spacing was reduced. A critical review will be made to examine which parameters can be realistically used to increase the luminosity, analysing the risks and the consequences. A scenario is proposed as well as a back-up solution.
