TUXPA01 Tevatron Operational Status and Possible Lessons for the LHC 900
 
  • V.A. Lebedev
    Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois
 
  This talk will provide an overview of the Tevatron Run II luminosity progress and plans, including SC magnet measurements and modeling of field errors in view of the LHC operation, electron cooling progress and results, slip-stacking and optimized use of the injectors for antiproton production, and improvements in the antiproton source.

TUXPA02 RHIC Operational Status and Upgrade Plans 905
 
  • W. Fischer

  Since 2000 RHIC has collided, at 8 energies, 4 combinations of ion species, ranging from gold ions to polarized protons, and including the collisions of deuterons with gold ions. During that time the heavy ion luminosity increased by 2 orders of magnitude, and the proton polarization in store reached 46% on average. Planned upgrades include the evolution to the Enhanced Design parameters by 2008, the construction of an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) by 2009, the installation of electron cooling for RHIC II, and the implementation of the electron-ion collider eRHIC. We review the expected operational performance with these upgrades.

TUXPA03 LHC Luminosity and Energy Upgrades 910
 
  • W. Scandale
    CERN, Geneva
 
  LHC upgrade studies are ongoing as part of the EU CARE-HHH network and in the US-LARP collaboration. The aim is a ten-fold increase of the LHC luminosity by about 2014 and a possible upgrade of the injector complex to inject at 1 TeV and, at a later stage, to raise the collider energy. This talk will provide an overview of the beam dynamics and technological challenges associated with the LHC upgrade, including magnet R&D plans, electron cloud and beam-beam limitations, preferred scenarios to maximize the integrated luminosity, and machine experiments on beam-beam compensation or crystal collimation.
