  1. 54. LHC YETS Recovery
    Mirko Pojer (CERN)
    27/01/2016, 08:30

    16 days are allocated in March 2016 to prepare the machine for the beam. Around 7000 powering tests will have to be performed to re-commission the superconducting circuits. An extensive list of tests will have to be executed as well on the various systems affected by interventions during YETS. A preliminary planning for these tests will be shown.

  2. 7. Experiments: Expectations and Requirements
    Jamie Boyd (CERN)
    27/01/2016, 08:45
    Session 5: 2016 and Run 2

    The talk discusses the input from the experiments that is relevant to define next year's program. It covers the target for integrated luminosity for 2016, for both p-p and Heavy Ion physics, and the requests for special runs (high beta*, VdM scans, high or low pile-up runs…). The impact of LHC parameters and conditions on the experiments is also discussed, including the effect of pile-up,...

  3. 8. LHC Machine Configuration in the 2016 Proton Run
    Roderik Bruce

    Session 5: 2016 and Run 2

    The baseline machine parameters of the 2016 LHC proton run are presented, with focus on beta* and the collimation hierarchy. The proposed scenario is based on input from operational experience and MDs in 2015. The parameters and settings have been chosen in order to provide significantly higher luminosity than in 2015, while staying within the boundaries where the safety and smooth...

  4. 9. Beams from Injectors in 2016
    Rende Steerenberg
    27/01/2016, 09:35
    Session 5: 2016 and Run 2

    Over the years the LHC beams in the injectors have evolved and production schemes alternative to the baseline scheme have been developed and tested. The baseline is recalled and the beams from the alternative productions schemes that are available to the LHC in 2016 are discussed together with their performance reach.

  5. 10. Plans for the Ion Run in 2016
    Reyes Alemany Fernandez
    27/01/2016, 10:30
    Session 5: 2016 and Run 2

    The 2016 run will end with proton-lead collisions at either 4Z TeV, as in 2013, or 6.5Z TeV, still to be defined. This talk reviews the special features of operation with asymmetric collisions, and the lessons of the 2013 proton-nucleus run, as well as the 2015 lead-lead run. A new proton filling scheme to match the lead scheme will have to be prepared in 2016. This talk also reviews the...

  6. 11. Key Machine Development for 2016 and Run 2
    Rogelio Tomas Garcia
    27/01/2016, 10:55
    Session 5: 2016 and Run 2

    MD results from 2015 have been fundamental in deciding the 2016 LHC parameters and to shed light in unexplored regimes of operation both for LHC and HL-LHC. 2016 emerges with 50% more MD time than 2015 and likely with an improved efficiency for machine studies. Possible MD requests for 2016 and Run II, along with priorities, are currently being discussed in the LSWG framework with a...
