30/7-018 - Kjell Johnsen Auditorium (CERN)

Mandate

The main objective is to review the collimation system of HL-LHC in view of the LHC Run1 and Run2 experience and the suitability for installation in the LHC. The review will examine the upgrades in the experimental and cleaning insertion regions as well as the new cleaning systems in the dispersion suppressor regions of P7 and P2.

Review Panel

Ralph Assmann (DESY), Wolfram Fischer (BNL), Mike Lamont (CERN), Mike Seidel (PSI, Chair), Alban Sublet (CERN), Walter Venturini (CERN).

Scientific secretary: Alessio Mereghetti | S. Redaelli: link person for the HL-LHC Collimation upgrade (WP5)

Date and Place: 11th – 12th February 2019 at CERN (Auditorium TE 30-7-018).

Format

One and a half day presentations and discussions, followed by an executive meeting of the committee and a close-out on the second day. Following the close-out by the review chair, the committee is asked to compile a short report with findings, comments and recommendations within one month. The report will be delivered to O. Brüning, HL-LHC Deputy Project Leader and L. Rossi, HL-LHC Project Leader.
