  1. Section mandate: comparison Current mandate Proposed mandate The Hadron Synchrotrons and Colliders section: Is responsible for optics design and development of CERN’s circular hadron colliders and accelerators, present and future. Studies the mechanical aperture and magnetic field imperfections of the machines as installed and their effects on beam dynamics. Carries out experimental and theoretical beam physics and design studies aimed at improving the performance of CERN’s circular hadron colliders and accelerators, present and future, in particular in terms of beam losses management. Defines parameters, strategies and measurement procedures for initial beam commissioning and regular operation in collaboration with other sections and groups. Provides coordination and support during both commissioning and routine operation. Hosts the Project coordination and studiesfor the LHC collimation system and its upgrade. Hosts the coordination and studies of present and future operation of the LHC for nuclear collisions. Hosts the coordination of studies for the PS-LIU project. Is responsible, develops and maintains software tools for beam physics, accelerator design and operation. Contributes to European-funded networks and studies. Provides expertise in advisory bodies for accelerators at other laboratories. Provides expertise for educational and outreach activities. The LHC Commissioning and Upgrade section: • Is responsible for the optics design and development for the nominal LHC machine. • Studies the mechanical aperture and magnet field imperfections of the machine as installed and impact on beam dynamics. • Contributes to the study of commissioning and machine operation scenarios, measurement procedures, including specifications of LHC beam parameters. • Provides support for the operation of the LHC during its initial commissioning phase. Participates in machine studies aimed at improving the machine performance. • Hosts the Project coordination for the LHC collimation system. • Contributes to R&D efforts related to the Phase II LHC collimation system. • Contributes to the study of LHC beam limitations and ways to overcome them to reach and exceed LHC nominal performance (LHC upgrade studies and LHeC). • Is responsible for the development and maintenance of software tools for accelerator design and operation. • Contributes to and co-ordinates the EUCARD-related R&D activities (LHC upgrade studies).
