Joint AB and LHC Project Seminar: Baseline Scenario for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade, Summary of the CARE-HHH LHC-LUMI-06 Workshop

by Walter Scandale (AT-DHO) and Frank Zimmermann (AB-ABP)

Thursday 18 Jan 2007, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

AB Auditorium Meyrin (CERN)

The 3rd topical CARE-HHH-APD workshop on the LHC luminosity upgrade, LUMI'06, developed novel scenarios for the interaction regions while deprecating a number of previous options, proposed novel sets of beam parameters better tailored to a higher-luminosity LHC, and discussed the supporting upgrades to the CERN accelerator complex, including PS replacement, which may be necessary for boosting the integrated LHC luminosity as well as the peak luminosity. With a substantial participation from the US-LARP, the European and US upgrade activities could successfully be re-aligned and a general consensus emerged on the future steps to be taken. In this seminar, we report highlights from the LUMI'06 workshop and its key recommendations.
