Alternative options, realistic set of milestones, project phases, and tentative dates for LHC luminosity upgrade requested by CERN management. Tentative milestones for future machine studies could be: 2005/2006: installation and test of a beam-beam long range compensation system at RHIC to be validated with colliding beams 2006/2007: new SPS experiment for crystal collimation 2006: installation and test of Crab cavities at KEKB to validate higher beam-beam limit and luminosity with large crossing angles 2007: if KEKB test successful, test of Crab cavities in a hadron machine to validate low RF noise and emittance preservation HHH-AMT Workshop on “Beam-Generated Heat Deposition and Quench Levels for LHC Magnets”, CERN, 3-4/03/2005 Topics: stability margin of ultimate LHC and validation of design for LHC upgrade, thermal transfer and superconductor stability, modeling and experiments, code comparison, experience on quench levels from magnet operation at CERN and from beam and magnet operation at other labs.

CARE-HHH-AMT Workshop on “SC Pulsed Magnets for Accelerators”, Frascati(?), end October 2005 Topics: define set of agreed parameters for the development of SC magnets ranging from low field, continuously pulsed (typically 2 T peak, 4 T/s, 100 mm aperture, 10 8 cycles) to medium field, high-duty cycle magnets for storage and booster rings (typically 6 T peak, 1 T/s, 80 mm aperture, 10 6 cycles), translate requirements into specifications for performance of strand, cable, magnet and auxiliaries, define R&D required to achieve the above specifications and produce a tentative road-map for a procurement and prototyping activity.

15. CERN F. RuggieroHHH Network 15 Tentative conclusions All new HHH milestones and deliverables in the first quarter of 2005, i.e. workshops and proceedings, have been met! The CARE-HHH Network had weak/missing links to the experimental physics community the vacuum science community collimation, dump, and machine protection experts cryogenic experts A systematic review, optimization, and possible re-design of the LHC injector complex was not clearly identified as a topic within the CARE-HHH scope This is being partly corrected by re-scoping the HHH Network (see HHH-2004 workshop programme and plans for 2005), but properly addressing all the weak/missing topics will require additional resources Further R&D on pulsed magnets and optimized injector chain may justify a new request to Brussels
