Description
The principle aims of the workshop are to:
Review the status, foreseen and required changes in the machine protection systems during LS2 to prepare operation with LIU beams. The workshop will cover LHC and injector related topics:
- Learning from Run 2 (injectors and LHC)
- Foreseen changes to the machine protection and related systems
- Challenges in injectors and LHC with LIU beams and other new operational parameters (optics, beam energy, 11 T)
- Preparatory tests or MDs which need to be performed during Run 3 (in the injectors and the LHC), which are outside the operational envelope, to prepare for HL-LHC
