Accelerator Report: HiLumi LHC beam reliability runs pave the way to the future

Accelerator Report: HiLumi LHC beam reliability runs pave the way to the future After the major upgrades carried out during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2, 2019–2020), the LHC injector complex entered a new phase of operation. The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project consolidated and enhanced the accelerator chain to meet the demanding beam requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), scheduled to come into operation after Long Shutdown 3 (LS3, 2026–2030). The LIU objective was clear: significantly increase the beam brightness and almost double the beam intensity delivered to the LHC.
