Magnets for the phase I LHC upgrade

The scope of the LHC Upgrade Phase I is to make possible the focusing of the beams to a β*=0.25 m in IP1 and IP5, and provide reliable operation of the LHC at a luminosity of 2 10^{34} cm^{-2} s^{-1}. Presently the time-line of the project foresees the installation of the equipment in the tunnel dur...

Sumario:The scope of the LHC Upgrade Phase I is to make possible the focusing of the beams to a β*=0.25 m in IP1 and IP5, and provide reliable operation of the LHC at a luminosity of 2 10^{34} cm^{-2} s^{-1}. Presently the time-line of the project foresees the installation of the equipment in the tunnel during the LHC shut-down of 2012 in order to be operational for physics run 2013. This document tries to review the requirements of the project in term of magnets, the related choices and status and frame of the development.
