Sumario:The very high luminosity foreseen for the LHC luminosity upgrade entails in all cases a significant luminosity decrease during a few hours run. We present in this note a new method of luminosity leveling, based on the on-line adjustment of the crossing angle, while keeping the optics unchanged. It is implemented using the D0 dipole of a possible Early Separation Scheme and an orbit corrector. The whole bump is confined in the experimental drift space. It should be operationally simple as it avoids most complicated side effects that other leveling principles would produce.
