At its restart after a major shutdown in 2029, the LHC will see its interaction regions upgraded by the installation of the HL-LHC equipment, with new Nb3Sn triplets and cold powering system, crab-cavities for crossing angle compensation and luminosity levelling, an upgraded collimation system, and fully remote alignment for the final focusing region. In the following operational runs, the LHC will aim at a tenfold increase of the integrated luminosity compared to the original design. [...]

The HL-LHC Project Gets Ready for Its Deployment

Following the successful completion of the second long shutdown (LS2), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is preparing for its final operational run before the majority of the High Luminosity Upgrade (HL-LHC) will be installed during the third Long Shutdown starting in 2026. The HL-LHC upgrade will enable a further tenfold increase in integrated luminosity delivered to the ATLAS and CMS experiments, starting by an upgrade of the machine protection, collimation and shielding systems in LS2, and followed by the deployment of novel key technologies, including Nb₃Sn based insertion region magnets, cold powering by MgB₂ superconducting links and integration of Nb crab-cavities to compensate the effects of a larger crossing angle.

The Precision Laser Inclinometer
/ Di Girolamo, Beniamino (CERN) ; Boudagov, Julian A (Dubna, JINR) ; Lyablin, Michail V (Dubna, JINR) ; Vlachos, Sotiris (Natl. Tech. U., Athens)
Earth surface movements, like earthquakes or human-produced (cultural) noise, can induce a degradation of the instantaneous luminosity of particle accelerators or even sudden beam losses. In the same way the presence of seismic and cultural noise limits the detection capabilities of interferometric antennas used for the observations of gravitational waves. [...]

Cryogenic surface resistance of copper: Investigation of the impact of surface treatments for secondary electron yield reduction
/ Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Arzeo, Marco (CERN) ; Aull, Sarah (CERN) ; Himmerlich, Marcel (CERN) ; Costa Pinto, Pedro (CERN) ; Vollenberg, Wilhelmus (CERN) ; Di Girolamo, Beniamino (CERN) ; Cruikshank, Paul (CERN) ; Chiggiato, Paolo (CERN) ; Bajek, David (U. Dundee) et al.
The surface resistance of copper samples with an amorphous carbon (a-C) coating or with laser surface structuring, the surface treatments of choice for electron cloud suppression in critical cryogenic sectors of the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), has been measured for the first time at a cryogenic temperature using the quadrupole resonator at CERN. Three different frequencies of relevance for evaluating beam impedance effects, namely, 400, 800, and 1200 MHz, have been investigated. [...]

First Beam Test of Laser Engineered Surface Structures (LESS) at Cryogenic Temperature in CERN SPS Accelerator
/ Salemme, Roberto (CERN ; Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Abdolvand, Amin (Dundee U.) ; Baglin, Vincent (CERN) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Chiggiato, Paolo (CERN) ; Di Girolamo, Beniamino (CERN) ; Garcia-Tabares Valdivieso, Elisa (CERN) ; Jenninger, Berthold (CERN) ; Prever-Loiri, Laurent (CERN) ; Sitko, Monika (CERN) et al.
Electron cloud mitigation is an essential requirement for accelerators of positive particles with high intensity beams to guarantee beam stability and limited heat load in cryogenic systems. Laser Engineered Surface Structures (LESS) are being considered, within the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC collider at CERN (HL-LHC), as an option to reduce the Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) of the surfaces facing the beam, thus suppressing the electron cloud phenomenon.

Alignment and Monitoring Systems for Accelerators and Experiments Based on BCAM - First Results and Benefits of Systems Developed for ATLAS, LHCb and HIE-ISOLDE

In the last few years alignment and monitoring systems based on BCAM* cameras active sensors, or their HBCAM evolution, have been developed at the request of the Technical Coordination of LHC experiments and HIE-ISOLDE facility Project Leader. ADEPO (ATLAS DEtector POsition) has been designed to speed up the precise closure - 0.3 mm - of large detector parts representing in total ~2500 tons. [...]

Towards the Implementation of Laser Engineered Surface Structures for Electron Cloud Mitigation
/ Sitko, Monika (CERN) ; Abdolvand, Amin (Dundee U.) ; Baglin, Vincent (CERN) ; Bajek, David (Dundee U.) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Chiggiato, Paolo (CERN) ; Colling, Miriam (Daresbury) ; Di Girolamo, Beniamino (CERN) ; Garcia-Tabares Valdivieso, Elisa (CERN) ; Jones, Thomas (Daresbury) et al.
The LHC operation has proven that the electron cloud could be a significant limiting factor in machine performance, in particular for future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) beams. Electron clouds, generated by electron multipacting in the beam pipes, leads to beam instabilities and beam-induced heat load in cryogenic systems. [...]
