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…

Update on the Collaboration Partners and Contributions
The 7th HL-LHC Collaboration Board took place during the 7th HL-LHC Annual Meeting in November 2017, jointly organized by CIEMAT and CERN in Madrid, Spain. One of the focuses of the 7 th HLCB meeting was a summary of the existing agreements for in-kind contributions from collaborators. Since the HLCB meeting in Paris, the project…

Highlights from the HL-LHC Work Packages
WP2: Performance and Beam Dynamics Following the project re-baselining in summer 2016, the layout and optics of the high luminosity insertion regions were reviewed and the performance re-evaluated. This has led to a small but visible reduction in performance, reducing the margins available for the achievement of the nominal and ultimate luminosity targets. Optimization of…
