R.G. 3 LIU beam characteristics - 7/03/2012 Objectives Mandate “The LHC Injectors Upgrade should plan for delivering reliably to the LHC the beams required for reaching the goals of the HL- LHC. This includes LINAC4, the PS booster, the PS, the SPS, as well as the heavy ion chain.” Implementation The LIU Project will:  Analyze the status of the injectors and the HL-LHC requirements,  Propose an upgrade path for the injectors, exploiting the work done by the Task Forces on the „PSB energy upgrade“ and „SPS upgrade“ and by the Working Group on the SPS upgrade,  Organize the upgrades (WBS with resources and planning) and take care of their implementation,  Take care of hardware and beam commissioning.

R.G. 21 LIU beam characteristics - 7/03/2012 Basic assumptions  Beam parameters are given at injection in LHC: beam loss and blow-up inside the LHC are not accounted for.  All necessary improvements are implemented in the injectors (Linac4, PSB to PS transfer at 2 GeV, coupled bunch instabilities suppressed, e- cloud suppressed, hardware upgraded…)  Estimated beam degradation in the accelerator chain (based on observations in 2010): PS: 5 % beam loss, 5 % transverse blow-up SPS: 10 % beam loss, 10 % transverse blow-up.  «Standard» RF gymnastics are kept, imperfections are unchanged: +-10 % fluctuation of all bunch parameters within a given PS bunch train.

R.G. 25 LIU beam characteristics - 7/03/2012 Impact on other users of proton beams  The LIU project is designed to have no detrimental effect on other users than LHC.  However:  New beam gymnastics in the PS will decrease the availability of the injectors for non-LHC users,  Many actions will increase performance /pulse (Potential for e.g higher beam energy/higher beam power to ISOLDE, higher intensity per pulse in the PS and SPS...)  Specific analysis will be required for every user to determine how much performance could progress beyond today’s level. In the case of neutrino beams, for example, such an analysis is foreseen in the context of the LAGUNA-LBNO.

R.G. 29 LIU beam characteristics - 7/03/2012 Final comments about proton beams  Preliminary HL-LHC requirements are very demanding for the injectors. Their final definition shall result from interactions between both projects (2 nd joint «Brainstorming» session on March 30, 2012).  MDs until the end of 2012 will help refine the knowledge and understanding of the injectors and specify precisely the upgrades.  End 2012/beginning 2013, the performance goals of the LIU project will be specified and the precise list of hardware modifications with their specifications will be issued.

R.G. 30 LIU beam characteristics - 7/03/2012 Comments about other ion beams  With the present injector complex, increasing the number of bunches seems to be the only route to a marginally higher luminosity, at the expense of a longer LHC filling time,  If we are to implement the suggested improvements in order to reach the required Pb-Pb luminosity (provided the LHC can digest it), it is more than time to start the R§D on all parts of the injector chain,  Ar and Xe will be available after LS1 (parameter list still to be defined and optimised) but other species, if desired, would come in addition, and require more studies, in particular a new source & pre-accelerator for deuterons, or safety and handling issues for Uranium.
