[CANCELLED] - The High Luminosity LHC Project at CERN : the new challenges in Physics and Technology
Due to unforseen circumstances related to the speaker, the event has been cancelled.
=========================================================
LHC is among the largest and most complex scientific instruments ever conceived and operated, which has allowed the discovery of the long-awaited Higgs boson in 2012, by mean of its main experiments ATLAS and CMS. While LHC is approached its limits, to go beyond it CERN has launched a project, called High Luminosity LHC (HiLumi). Based on a modification of the present LHC, it employs novel more advanced technology, like Nb3Sn superconducting magnets of 12 tesla, Superconducting RF cavities kicking the beam transversally, giant MgB2 superconducting cables to transport some 120 kA, new composite materials (Mo-graphite and Cu-diamond). The HL-LHC project has two main functions: it can unveil the route toward new physics beyond standard model and it is also a critical step in preparing the new technologies necessary for a post-HiLumi collider: a giant 100 km machine that by means of super-magnets can reach an energy territory of about 5 to 10 times the one of LHC.
