Optimizing the LHC Interaction Region to Obtain the Highest Possible Luminosity
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to reach the highest possible luminosities for proton-proton collisions. The maximum reachable luminosity is limited by beam-beam effects.

| Sumario: | The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to reach the highest possible luminosities for proton-proton collisions. The maximum reachable luminosity is limited by beam-beam effects. It will be shown how the interplay of parameters such as: b*, crossing angle, bunch spacing, energy and crossing schemes affect the beam-beam effect and therefore the luminosity. The possible side effects of the crossing geometry are evaluated and we define a set of parameters to maximise the luminosity. |
