CERN is organizing the above mini-workshop with the following aim: In the winter shutdown 2016/2017 four collimators will be installed into the LHC, which have insulated copper wires embedded into their jaws. Placing these wires at an appropriate distance to one proton beam and powering these wires to high DC currents, a compensation of the long-range beam beam effect will be attempted during machine development sessions in the years 2017 and 2018.
During the workshop the details of the LHC configuration for these experimnets will be discussed. Furthermore simulations for expected observables shall be presented. And last not least experts of the beam instrumentation community will present to what level of resolution the simulated effects can be measured.
Workshop place: Hôtel Lyon Métropole
