AT Auditorium (CERN)

The 120 long-range beam-beam interactions (LRBB) in the nominal LHC will ultimately limit its performance. In order to overcome this limitation a wire compensator (BBLR) is foreseen. A tracking code has been developed and employed to study LRBB and its wire compensation in LHC (nominal and upgraded). Experimental studies at RHIC and SPS on the effect of LRBB and the effectivness of BBLR have been performed. Technical implementations for pulsing the device have been studied.
