44. INFORMATION ONLY - Already in session 3 - Work Effort in the LHC Injector Complex, including Linac4 connection, for the Upgrade Scenarios

Bettina Mikulec (CERN), Jean-Baptiste Lallement (CERN)

31/10/2013, 08:30

Abstract: This presentation will describe the work for the Linac4 connection, PSB, PS and SPS that is required for upgrade scenario 1. It will be shown that the requirements on the hardware work needed for upgrade scenario 1 is identical to the ones of the upgrade scenario 2. The Linac4, presently under construction, will replace the present Linac2 as injector of the CERN proton accelerator...

24. Experiment perspective (20' + 10')

Benedetto Gorini (CERN), Emilio Meschi (CERN)

31/10/2013, 09:00

Abstract: The Presentation summarizes the ion physics achievements so far and gives an outlook of the physics needs for the next 10 years including a summary of the required beam types and configurations (e.g. p-Pb and collision energies other than the nominal 13 TeV) and what, if any, other ion species than Pb are being considered. The presentation will also present the experiment...

25. Performance of the injectors with ions after LS1 (25' + 15')

Django Manglunki (CERN)

Abstract: We review the performance of the ion injector chain at the light of the improvements which will take place during LS1, and we derive the expected luminosity gain for Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions in the LHC. We suggest a baseline plan of upgrades that will allow the requirements of the ALICE experiment after LS2 to be reached. An alternative plan is also presented. Finally, we examine...

26. How to run ions in the future? (20' + 10')

Detlef Kuchler (CERN)

31/10/2013, 10:40

Abstract: In the light of different running scenarios potential source improvements will be discussed (e.g. one month every year versus two month every other year and impact of the different running options [e.g. an extended ion run] on the source). As the oven refills cause most of the down time the oven design and refilling strategies will be presented. A test stand for off-line...

28. Future heavy-ion performance of the LHC (30' + 10')

John Jowett

Abstract: The evolution of the Pb-Pb and p-Pb luminosities of the LHC, and the efficiency with which available operating time can be exploited, will depend on the timing of various upgrades of the injectors, the collider and the experiments. Data from the first Pb-Pb operation at 6.5 Z TeV per beam will be crucial in clarifying the roles of quench limits and the needs for counter-measures. ...
