  TeV center of mass energy lepton-hadron collider is necessary both to clarify fundamental aspects of strong interactions and for adequate interpretation of the LHC data. Recently proposed QCD Explorer utilizes the energy advantage of the LHC proton and ion beams, which allows the usage of relatively low energy electron beam. Two options for the LHC based ep collider are possible: construction of a new electron ring in the LHC tunnel or construction of an e-linac tangentially to the LHC. In the latter case, which seems more acceptable for a number of reasons, two options are under consideration for electron linac: the CLIC technology allows shorter linac length, whereas TESLA technology gives higher luminosity.  
 
TUPCH099 Development of HOM Damped Copper Cavity for the ESRF impedance, simulation, damping, ESRF 1244

  At the ESRF, HOM driven longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities are currently avoided up to the nominal beam current of 200 mA by precisely controlling the cavity temperatures and thereby the HOM frequencies of the existing five-cell copper cavities. A bunch-by-bunch feedback is presently being commissioned in order to increase the maximum stored current. In parallel, normal conducting strongly HOM damped cavities are under study to possibly replace the five-cell cavities. The design is based on a scaling of the single cell EU cavity*: a pillbox geometry with nose cones and three attached ridged waveguides loaded by ferrites for effective HOM damping. We report on the electromagnetic simulation making use of the 3D codes HFSS and GdfidL. They allowed optimizing the shape of both cavity and dampers, including electromagnetic absorbing material with frequency dependent parameters.

  More than 1700 superconducting cryo-magnets have to be installed in the Large Hadron Collider tunnel. The long, heavy and fragile LHC cryo-magnets are difficult to handle and transport in particular in the LEP tunnel environment originally designed for smaller, lighter LEP magnets. An installation rate of more than 20 cryo-magnets per week is needed to cope with the foreseen LHC installation end date. The paper gives an overview of the transport and installation sequence complexity, from the storage area at the surface to the cryo-magnet final position in the tunnel. The success of this task depends on a series of independent factors that have to be considered at the same time. The equipment needed for the transport and tunnel installation of the LHC cryo-magnets is briefly described. The manpower and equipment organisation as well as the challenges of logistics are then detailed. The paper includes conclusions and some of the lessons learned during the first phase of the LHC cryo-magnets installation.
