Description
The presentation discusses potential variations of the beam and optics parameters that are compatible with the HL-LHC design goals and attempts to discuss the parameter margins required for translating the HL-LHC performance parameters to specifications for the LHC injector complex. The variations of the parameter sets attempt to incorporate the experience from the LHC operation and MD studies in 2010 and 2011. Particular attention will be given to a comparison of the 25ns and 50ns bunch spacing scenarios for the proton beam operation. Preliminary information will be given about the modes of operation and beam parameters for ions. The impact of operation for ions during the HL-LHC exploitation period will be outlined.
