| Abstract | One of the luminosity limitations of the LHC is the rather low injection energy (0.45 TeV) with respect to the collision energy (7 TeV). The magnetic multipoles in the main dipoles at low field and their dynamic behaviour are considered to limit the achievable bunch intensity and emittance. We report on a preliminary study to increase the injection energy to 1.5 TeV using a two-beam pre-accelerator (LER) in the LHC tunnel. The LER is based on âﾜPipetronâ magnets as originally proposed for the VLHC. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and to identify the critical processes or systems that need to be investigated and developed to render such a machine possible. |
