LHC IR Upgrades Workshop

October 3-4, 2005

Pheasant Run Resort, St. Charles, IL USA

A two day workshop on future upgrades of the LHC Interaction Regions will be held near Fermilab at the Pheasant Run resort in St. Charles, IL on October 3-4th, 2005. Upgrades of the IRs will be the central feature of the LHC luminosity upgrade, expected to happen around 2012-2015.

The workshop will focus on three inter-related topics

1. IR optics, energy deposition and magnet design
2. Beam-beam compensation
3. Feasibility of crab cavities.

The goals of the workshop are:

1. Set immediate and near-term priorities (over the next 1-3 years) for each topic
2. Foster greater communication between accelerator physicists, magnet designers and superconducting cavity experts.

There are several good US LARP Collaboration Web Sites: Fermilab Accelerator Division, Fermilab Technical Division and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
