Abstract
Chapter 3 in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) : PreliminaryDesign Report. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the largest scientificinstruments ever built. Since opening up a new energy frontier for explorationin 2010, it has gathered a global user community of about 7,000 scientistsworking in fundamental particle physics and the physics of hadronic matter atextreme temperature and density. To sustain and extend its discovery potential,the LHC will need a major upgrade in the 2020s. This will increase itsluminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of five beyond the original designvalue and the integrated luminosity (total collisions created) by a factor ten.The LHC is already a highly complex and exquisitely optimised machine so thisupgrade must be carefully conceived and will require about ten years toimplement. The new configuration, known as High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), willrely on a number of key innovations that push accelerator technology beyond itspresent limits. Among these are cutting-edge 11-12 tesla superconductingmagnets, compact superconducting cavities for beam rotation with ultra-precisephase control, new technology and physical processes for beam collimation and300 metre-long high-power superconducting links with negligible energydissipation. The present document describes the technologies and componentsthat will be used to realise the project and is intended to serve as the basisfor the detailed engineering design of HL-LHC.
