LHC complex present and future plans

• Massimo Giovannozzi (CERN)

Description

1. Introduce the planned upgrades and future projects new challenges for optics modeling and beam instrumentation?
2. Are the optics challenging enough?

60. LHC Operations

Mike Lamont (CERN)

The present challenges in terms of measurement, correction and modelling for LHC operations are briefly summarized. There is potential for pushing the performance in the next couple of years - the options and the implications of these for operations are discussed. In the longer term, operational challenges will include the move to higher energy, the potential squeeze to nominal beta* and the...

61. Machine Development plans at the LHC

Dr Frank Zimmermann (AB/ABP)

Since spring 2011 regular machine development (MD) periods are scheduled for the LHC. Presently a year of LHC running features about five blocks of 5 days each of dedicated machine studies, which are aimed at calibration and validation, at improving operational procedures, or at preparing for future operation modes as well as for future upgrades. An overview is given of the LHC MDs performed...

51. The optics challenges of the LHC Upgrade and a novel concept to reach low beta*

Stephane Fartoukh (CERN)

Increasing the integrated performance of the LHC by a factor of 5 to 6, as requested for the exploitation period 2020-2030, cannot only be achieved by playing with one or two parameters in the luminosity formula, but by pushing all of the them at or beyond the limits. Two of them, beta* and/or the beta* aspect ratio can however reduce the requirements, both on the beam parameters and/or on the...
