The ECN3 underground cavern at CERN’s SPS North Area offers unique opportunities in terms of intensity, energy and infrastructure for potential high-impact particle physics programmes that are complementary to the energy frontier and that are in line with the ESPPU 2020 recommendations. There is a strong interest to fully exploit the SPS for Fixed Target physics, which has resulted in the PBC Study Group focusing on siting a future high intensity experimental facility in ECN3. [...]

Chapter 22: Integration, (De-) Installation and Alignment / Fessia, P (CERN) ; Durand, H Mainaud (CERN)
Optimized space allocation for each equipment is instrumental to ensure that the various systems perform according to specification and to minimize installation and maintenance time. The general optimization effort goes under the name of “integration”, and it is strictly linked to the de-installation of the previous machine, to the management of the interfaces with existing infrastructures and to the installation of the new HL-LHC equipment.

Chapter 25: SRF Cryogenic Test Facility for the HL-LHC / Tavian, L (CERN) ; Vandoni, G (CERN) ; Delsolaro, W Venturini (CERN)
Several test stands were assembled for testing integrated operation of individual components with and without beam. Amongst these, at CERN, the SPS SRF test stands allows to qualify crab cavity modules with beam, while the test facilities situated in the SM18 buildings underwent important upgrades for testing SRF single-crab-cavities, SRF modules, superconducting cryomagnets and cold powering systems.

Chapter 21: Beam from Injectors: The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project / Meddahi, M (CERN) ; Rumolo, G (CERN) ; Alemany, R (CERN) ; Bartosik, H (CERN) ; Bellodi, G (CERN) ; Coupard, J (CERN) ; Damerau, H (CERN) ; Di Giovanni, G P (CERN) ; Funken, A (CERN) ; Garoby, R et al.
The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project aims at increasing the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors in order to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring high availability and reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era. Fulfilling this goal requires extensive hardware modifications and new beam dynamics solutions across the entire LHC proton and ion injection chains: the new Linac4, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), together with Linac3 and the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) as ion PS injectors.

The beam response to an external excitation may result in a growth of the emittance, or more generally a modification of its particle distribution. The former reduces the luminosity, and the latter might lead to a loss of Landau damping of coherent instabilities. [...]
