“…Assuming that each LHC aperture requires an additional 4 SPS cycles for the injection set up (3 pilot bunches and one nominal intensity), and that the LHC operators require at least two minutes to evaluate the measurements of each pilot bunch shot and to readjust the machine settings, the total (minimum) LHC injection time becomes 16 minutes. The minimum time required for ramping the beam energy in the LHC from 450 GeV to 7 TeV is approximately 20 minutes. After a beam abort at top energy, it takes also approximately 20 minutes to ramp the magnets down to 450 GeV.…”

“…However, research was moving towards operation at 2 K and lower, to take advantage of the increased temperature margins and the enhanced heat transfer at the solid-liquid interface and in the bulk liquid [6]. The French Tokamak Tore II Supra demonstrated this new technology [7,8], which was then proposed for the LHC [9] and brought from the preliminary study to the final concept design and validation in six years [10].…”

Generally speaking, the collective effects are a function of the vacuum system geometry and its surface properties. They are usually proportional to the beam currents and can therefore limit the maximum attainable beam intensities. 2.2.8 Luminosity lifetime The luminosity in the LHC is not constant over a physics run, but decays due to the degradation of intensities and emittances of the circulating beams. The main cause of the luminosity decay during nominal LHC operation is the beam loss from collisions. The initial decay time of the bunch intensity, due to this effect, is:

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most complex instrument ever built for particle physics research. It will, for the first time, provide access to the TeV-energy scale. Numerous technological innovations are necessary to achieve this goal. For example, two counterrotating proton beams are guided and focused by superconducting magnets whose novel two-in-one structure saves cost and allowed the machine to be installed in an existing tunnel. The very high (>8-T) field in the dipoles can be achieved only by cooling them below the transition temperature of liquid helium to the superfluid state. More than 80 tons of superfluid helium are needed to cool the whole machine. So far, the LHC has behaved reliably and predictably. Single-bunch currents 30% above the design value have been achieved, and the luminosity has increased by five orders of magnitude. In this review, I briefly describe the design principles of the major systems and discuss some initial results.
