Description

The HL-LHC upgrades require beam currents, that are significantly increased beyond the original specifications of the LHC. The talk will explore expected limitations in hardware systems (including RF power, instrumentation, vacuum), the impact of increased beam losses on quench statistics, risks due to beam current related damage, beam dynamics issues, loss-induced activation and single event upsets
