Beam momentum & stored energy of colliders Energy stored in the accelerator beam, as a function of beam momentum. At less than 1% of nominal intensity LHC enters new territory. Stored energy density as a function of beam momentum. Transverse energy density is a measure of damage potential and is proportional to luminosity.
Transverse emittances from 3 different bunch intensities (72 bunches)
The LHC design has integrated more than 30 years of accumulated knowledge of the behaviour of beams in hadron storage rings. The various correction systems will be adequate to stabilise the beams up to and beyond design luminosity. The one new effect is the electron cloud which may be the limiting factor in pushing the luminosity well above the design value. This will depend on the efficiency of scrubbing that can be achieved. The rate of increase in luminosity will be governed by our ability to protect the machine and detectors and of the detectors to cope with it. Conclusions

Intermediate (2012-2013) upgrade of the two high-luminosity insertions using existing NbTi cable from dipole production. Seed money expected from Brussels but construction funds to be found. Possible further upgrade to IE35 (2016-2018) using advanced superconductor. Many ideas but luminosity lifetime will be a problem. Upgrade of LHC insertions
