HL LHC: High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider
The HiLumi LHC Design Study ran as an FP7 funded project between 2011 and 2015. The project now has moved from the design study to the machine construction phase. HL-LHC will extend the LHC’s discovery potential, increasing luminosity by a factor of 10 beyond the original design value and allowing the scientific community to study new phenomena.
Installation of the TDIS unit for the High-Luminosity LHC
Nearly one year after the start of the assembly activities the first 3-module-device Target Dump Injection Segmented (TDIS) unit is ready to be installed.
HL-LHC equipment installed on both sides of the ALICE experiment
Novel cryostat units have been installed for the High-Luminosity LHC to allow insertion of room-temperature collimators in the LHC’s 1.9 K cryostats.
High-Precision Digitizer for High Luminosity LHC
CERN developed a digitizer to ensure the high-precision measurement of the current delivered to the superconducting magnets of the HL-LHC.
A workshop on the energy-sustainable future for research infrastructures
On 28 and 29 November, CERN took part in the 5th Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures workshop at the Paul Scherrer Institute.
Parallel computing boosts e-cloud studies for HL-LHC
Parallel computing techniques allow the processing of heavy e-cloud simulations for HL-LHC.
