  The LHC Upgrade studies have been recently formalized into the so-called HL-LHC project. This project relies on the availability of new technologies such as crab-cavities which would be installed in the interaction region (IR) of the new ATLAS and CMS experiments, and high-field and large aperture inner triplet quadrupoles equipped with Nb3Sn super-conducting cables. This paper presents and analyzes a possible layout and optics for the new IRs, with a beta* squeezed down to 15 cm in collision using the ATS scheme*.
