=========================================================

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.
