HL-LHC / LIU Joint Workshop

Friday 30 Mar 2012, 09:00 → 17:15 Europe/Zurich

30-7-018 (CERN)

Progressing towards an agreed set of 450 GeV beam parameters for High Luminosity operation in LHC after LS2 & LS3. Morning sessions: talks and questions. Afternoon session: open discussion on a few pre-defined questions, led by animators.
