MOYBPA01 LHC Progress and Commissioning Plans 14
 
  • O.S. Brüning
    CERN, Geneva
 
  The LHC at CERN is in its final installation phase, and the first tests with beam are planned for part of the machine for the end of 2006. The commissioning of the full machine with beam is planned for summer 2007. The talk summarizes the current status of the LHC installation and the strategy for obtaining an optimum hardware configuration. In a second part the talk outlines the main milestones for the hardware and beam commissioning and presents estimates for the expected performance levels for the commissioning phase with beam.

MOYBPA02 Operation of High-luminosity Meson Factories and the Challenge to go to the Next Generation 19
 
  • K. Akai
    KEK, Ibaraki
 
  This talk will present an overview of the operational status of B- and Phi-Factories, and address their present luminosity performance and limitations, such as electron cloud effects. It will also discuss upgrade plans, including motivation and beam dynamics challenges, new ideas, R&D and machine experiments in view of the next generation of meson factories with ~100 times more luminosity. In particular, it will address machine tests with strong RF focusing, crab cavity developments and first operational experience at KEKB.
