outline

(1) general LHC upgrade plan

(2) shutdown plans for the machine, i.e. time-windows with longer than normal

shutdown detector access

(3) luminosity scenarios in point 8 after phase 2 (“and maybe phase 1 - if there is a change?”).

Two Strong Reasons for LHC Upgrade

J. Strait 2003

1) after few years, statistical error hardly decreases 2) radiation damage limit of IR quadrupoles (~700 fb-

1) reached by ~2016 time for an upgrade! 3) extending physics potential!

staged approach to LHC upgrade “phase-1” 2013:

new triplets, D1, TAS, b*=0.25 m in IP1 & 5,reliable LHC operation at ~2-3x luminosity;beam from new Linac4

“phase-2” 2017:target luminosity 10x nominal, possibly Nb3Sn triplet & b*~0.15 m

complementary measures 2010-2017: e.g. long-range beam-beam compensation, crab cavities, new/upgraded injectors, advanced collimators, coherent e- cooling??, e- lenses??

longer term (2020?): energy upgrade, LHeC,…

phase-2 might be just phase-1 plus complementary measures

+ injector upgrade

averageluminosity

initial luminosity peak may not be useful for physics(set up & tuning?)

experiments prefer ~constant luminosity, less pile up at start of run, higher luminosity at end

ES or FCC: dynamic b squeeze, or dynamic q change (either IP angle bumps or varying crab voltage)LPA: dynamic b squeeze, or dynamic change of bunch length

how can we achieve this?

reasons for injector upgrade

• Need for reliability:• Accelerators are old [Linac2: 1978, PSB:

1975, PS: 1959, SPS: 1976]• They operate far from their design

parameters and close to hardware limits• The infrastructure has suffered from the

concentration of resources on LHC during the past 10 years

• Need for better beam characteristics

regular annual shutdown

minimum duration of the annual accelerator shutdown (analysis for 2007 by Simon Baird, ATC mtg. 4 May ‘07)

basic  needs:• 6 weeks for mandatory maintenance (legal obligation),• 3 weeks for hardware tests/cold check-out,• 3 weeks for setting-up of the accelerators,

adding up to incompressible minimum duration of 12 weeks of interruption of LHC beam every year, without any major intervention/modification

• aim to minimize contribution to beam-beam tune shift (note: DQ is independent of b*)

• aim to provide optimum LHCb luminosity of 2x1033 cm-2s-1/2808 per bunch crossing, or 1/50th of luminosity in IP1 & 5

can we make (upgraded) LHCb compatible with upgraded LHC?!

Page 25: Frank Zimmermann, LHCb Upgrade Meeting Overview of LHC Machine Upgrade Plans from an LHCb Perspective - Frank Zimmermann LHCb Upgrade Meeting CERN, 5 August

Frank Zimmermann, LHCb Upgrade Meeting

LHCb recipe for 50-ns scenario • add satellites at 25 ns spacing• these can be produced by highly asymmetric bunch

splitting in the PS (possibly large fluctuation)• in LHCb satellites collide with main bunches • satellite intensity should be lower than 3x1010 p/bunch

to add <5% to beam-beam tune shift and to avoide-cloud problems; 3x1010 ~ 1/16th of main-bunch charge

• b function of ~3 m would result in desired luminosity equivalent to 2x1033 cm-2s-1; easily possible with present IR magnets & layout

[simpler alternative with lower rate: collide displaced 50-ns bunch trains in LHCb @ b*~ 25 m (R. Garoby)]

Page 26: Frank Zimmermann, LHCb Upgrade Meeting Overview of LHC Machine Upgrade Plans from an LHCb Perspective - Frank Zimmermann LHCb Upgrade Meeting CERN, 5 August

Frank Zimmermann, LHCb Upgrade Meeting

• here head-on collisions add to beam-beam tune shift of bunches colliding in ATLAS & CMS

• potential ways out:– collisions with transverse offset– collide at LHCb only in later part of each store,

when the beam-beam tune shift from IP1 & 5 has decreased (H. Dijkstra)

more “exotic” / advanced (need studies):– “electron lenses” for tune-shift compensation– flat-beam “crab-waist” collisions for DQx~0

other concerns for 4-5s offset collisions:

• offset stability • interference with LHC collimation• effect on beam lifetime • effect on detector background

experience at RHIC, SPS, HERA and Tevatron wasdiscouraging (see slides with examples presented at LHCB Upgrade Workshop of January 2007); but interpretation of past results and their applicationto LHC is a bit controversial

summary• time slots for LHCb upgrade: annual shutdown: > 3 months;

phase-1 2012/13: > 7 months; ATLAS/CMS upgrade: 2015/16/17? ~18 months; phase-2 2016/17: > 7 months

• three paths to 10x higher luminosity in IP1&5: 25-ns or 50-ns bunch spacing; early LHC experience may decide

• original upgrade plans did not consider LHCb, however LHCb can be made compatible

• 50-ns upgrade: satellite bunches at 25 ns could yield desired LHCb luminosity nearly transparently

• 25-ns upgrade: LHCb collisions with transverse offset + LHCb IR upgrade not too promising; better: late collisions with b*~3 m; e- lenses & crab-waist option to be studied
