Article
Yesterday, at the end of the LHC workshop in Chamonix, the following
preliminary plan has been agreed by CERN Management, the machine team and
the experiments: -- The LHC will run at 3.5+3.5 TeV in 2010 and 2011,
until the experiments collect an integrated luminosity of ~ 1 fb-1. Only
a short technical stop is foreseen at the end of 2010-beginning of 2011.
-- The 2010-2011 run will be followed by a long (~1 year) shut-down, to
redo all splices and thus enable the machine to operate up to the design
energy (7+7 TeV).
-- Partial fixing of the splices (e.g. for 5+5 TeV operation) is judged by
the machine management at this stage to be a higher-risk scenario than
repairing the whole machine.
-- A firmer plan can only be made around June, after experience is gained
with the machine operation and performance (e.g. in terms of luminosity)
at 3.5+3.5 TeV A more extensive report, including also LHC upgrade
aspects, will be presented and discussed at the ATLAS Weekly meeting on
Tuesday 2 February.
