Description
This talk will introduce the session and outline the boundary conditions that have been set for the following presentations.
SPL and PS2 are planned to replace the current LHC pre-injectors (LINAC4, PSB & PS). However, as SPL and PS2 will probably not be on-line and fully operational before early to mid-2020’s, the existing machines will have to run for at least another 12-15 years. This session will examine what actions should be envisaged to extend this lifetime for a further 10 years until the 2030’s, which is the expected lifetime of the LHC. Major upgrades of the Accelerator performance are not included. There will not be any written papers, but the presentations will be stored as record of the proceedings.
