Highlights from the HL-LHC Work Packages
WP2: Performance and Beam Dynamics During a measurement campaign in 2017 at the LHC, it was clearly demonstrated for the first time the beam lifetime improvement due to a compensation of the beam-beam long range effects, using DC current baring wires. The measurements and design studies are continuing during 2018 for further refining of the…
