The LHC luminosity upgrade
Beam halo scraping by crystals
Volume reflection of particles in bent crystals
Volume reflection amplification by crystal axes
Channeling capture increase by the crystal cut
Conclusions
Luminosity upgrade:
Fifteen years of planning and R&D, followed by over 10 years of construction, should be followed
by a comparable period of exploitation.
Energy upgrade: 7 2TeV
What is better?
The LHC upgrade need
34 2 1 010 1L cm s
INP
ssss
Luminosity upgrade in more effective at M < 3.5 TeV
ssss
Statistics is too low for a clear separation among possible models at integrated luminosity of 100fb-1
ssss
Thus, the luminosity upgrade have to be very effective

However luminosity increase will intensify the beam halo formation
INP
ssss
Halo sources: – beam physics and operational instabilities
– intra beam scattering
– scattering with residual gas
– synchrotron radiation
– collective instabilities …

Crystals are used in both channeling
and volume reflection regimes

INPDechanneling suppression by the cut
The cut decreases the dechanneling probability from 18 to 1-2%
ssss
A pair of crystals with cuts bent in orthogonal planes allows to deflect 99.9% of protons
ssss
INP
The cut allows to increase
the proton (nuclei) deflection
efficiency and to decrease the
accompanying proton absorption
by 1-2 orders of magnitude

The LHC luminosity upgrade
acquired new technical means

further investigation
