Future trends in lattice QCD simulations / Finkenrath, Jacob (Wuppertal U. ; CERN)
This proceeding gives a short overview on current trends for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of lattice QCD on supercomputers. State-of-the-art lattice QCD calculations are becoming more and more essential in the search for new physics at the precision (intensity) frontier. [...]

D and Ds decay constants from Nf=2+1 lattice QCD / Collins, Sara (Regensburg U.) ; Heitger, Jochen (Munster U.) ; Joswig, Fabian (Edinburgh U.) ; Kuberski, Simon (CERN ; Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Söldner, Wolfgang (Regensburg U.)
The D and Ds decay constants are important inputs for the determination of the CKM matrix elements |Vcd| and |Vcs| and for precision tests of the Standard Model. With lattice determinations of these quantities reaching the sub-percent level, it is important to demonstrate control over all sources of systematic uncertainty, and, in particular, those arising from discretisation effects and the quark mass dependence.

B-physics observables in the continuum from a combination of static and relativistic results / Conigli, Alessandro (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Frison, Julien (NIC, Zeuthen ; DESY) ; Fritzsch, Patrick (Trinity Coll., Dublin) ; Gérardin, Antoine (Marseille, CPT) ; Heitger, Jochen (Munster U.) ; Herdoiza, Gregorio (Madrid, Autonoma U.) ; Kuberski, Simon (CERN) ; Pena, Carlos (Madrid, Autonoma U.) ; Simma, Hubert (NIC, Zeuthen ; DESY)
We discuss how to perform interpolations between relativistic and static computations in order to extract heavy-light B-physics observables in the continuum. This strategy can be carried out entirely in large volume, but its predictivity is enhanced by the following step scaling approach. [...]

New Measurements of Transverse Spin Asymmetries at COMPASS / Vijayakumar, Athira (Illinois U., Urbana (main)) /COMPASS Collaboration
Over the past few decades, there has been enormous progress in understanding the internal structure of the nucleon, both on the experimental and theoretical sides. It has become clear that the proton’s spin budget cannot be fully explained by parton spin alone, suggesting a significant role for transverse motion and orbital angular momentum within the nucleon.

II.3 - Normal conducting magnets / Zickler, Thomas (CERN)
This chapter aims to provide the guidance and tools necessary to carry out the analytical design of a simple accelerator magnet. As the chapter unfolds, we will explain some basic concepts, magnet types, and important aspects to consider before moving on to the actual design phase. [...]

Towards a high-precision description of the ρ and K* resonances / Lachini, Nelson Pitanga (Edinburgh U. ; Cambridge U., DAMTP) ; Boyle, Peter (Edinburgh U. ; Brookhaven) ; Erben, Felix (Edinburgh U. ; CERN) ; Gülpers, Vera (Edinburgh U.) ; Hansen, Maxwell T (Edinburgh U.) ; Joswig, Fabian (Edinburgh U.) ; Marshall, Michael (Edinburgh U.) ; Portelli, Antonin (Edinburgh U. ; CERN ; RIKEN AICS, Kobe)
We summarise our determination of the ρ and K resonance parameters from lattice QCD at a physical pion mass. The methods for computing correlation functions and extracting energy levels from an RBC-UKQCD domain-wall fermion ensemble are reviewed. [...]

Design and construction of the CMS Outer Tracker for the Phase-2 Upgrade / Zoi, Irene (Fermilab) /CMS Collaboration
The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to deliver an integrated luminosity of 30004000~fb1 after 10 years of operation with peak instantaneous luminosity reaching about 57.5×1034cm2s1. During Long Shutdown 3, several components of the CMS detector will undergo major changes, called Phase-2 upgrade, to be able to operate in the challenging environment of the HL-LHC. [...]

II.5 - Superconducting RF cavities / Caspers, Fritz (CERN) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN)
The application of superconducting materials in RF cavities has gained a huge interest in the particle accelerator field over the last five decades. In particular, the accelerating gradients have been increased considerably due to progress in the understanding of the limiting factors at the beginning. [...]

II-4 - Superconductivity: introduction on RF vs. magnets / Antoine, Claire Z (IRFU, Saclay, DACM)
The aim of this lecture is to provide to physicists non-expert in material science a glimpse on how materials are tailored (and must be chosen) for their specific applications in accelerators. After an introduction the lecture is divided in three parts: 1) Recall on superconductivity: how and when to use the various models, 2) Vortex behavior: how it fixes the limits of operation in a superconductor, 3) Optimization of superconducting materials according to their applications..
