Description
The LHC requires a number of measures and interventions that will enable it to run continuously at its maximum performance with reasonable availability. The interventions and equipment replacement will be designed to improve when possible peak performance and machine availability, which both concurs to integrated luminosity, and to increase flexibility and ease of repair and maintenance, an important objective for a machine operating at three times the beam intensity so far used and 50 to 100 times the luminosity integrated so far. Some of the equipment and systems that will need the pushed consolidation include the magnets in the insertions, the cryogenics and the collimation. To those it is necessary to add the ones that will be needed to upgrade the performance of the LHC. During the presentation the zones and systems concerned will be briefly described.
