The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the largest scientific instruments ever built. Since opening up a new
energy frontier for exploration in 2010, it has gathered a global user community of about 7,000 scientists working
in fundamental particle physics and the physics of hadronic matter at extreme temperature and density. To sustain
and extend its discovery potential, the LHC will need a major upgrade in the 2020s. This will increase its luminosity
(rate of collisions) by a factor of five beyond the original design value and the integrated luminosity (total
collisions created) by a factor ten. The LHC is already a highly complex and exquisitely optimised machine so this
upgrade must be carefully conceived and will require about ten years to implement. The new configuration, known
as High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will rely on a number of key innovations that push accelerator technology
beyond its present limits. Among these are cutting-edge 11-12 tesla superconducting magnets, compact superconducting
cavities for beam rotation with ultra-precise phase control, new technology and physical processes
for beam collimation and 300 metre-long high-power superconducting links with negligible energy dissipation.
The present document describes the technologies and components that will be used to realise the project and is
intended to serve as the basis for the detailed engineering design of HL-LHC
