High-Luminosity LHC
A major upgrade programme for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Through upgraded superconducting magnets (niobium-tin magnets), improved beam focusing systems and replacement detectors, it substantially increases instantaneous and integrated luminosity, enabling scientists to observe extremely rare physical processes.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The High-Luminosity LHC upgrade will significantly raise the data rate and the number of pileup events, making the reconstruction of individual events more cluttered.
The High-Luminosity LHC upgrade is expected to start around 2030, at which point the number of collisions will increase tenfold.
The High-Luminosity LHC aims to increase instantaneous luminosity to 5 to 7.5 times the current level and about tenfold the integrated luminosity over a ten-year run period, by upgrading superconducting magnets (using stronger niobium-tin magnets), improving the beam focusing system, and replacing some detectors.
