The LHC Schedule Need I add, “could be changed”
Scenario A: sort splices out in one go • Two years at 3.5 TeV • 2010: should peak at 1032 and yield up to 0.5 fb-1 • 2011: ~1 fb-1 at 3.5 TeV • 2012: splice consolidation (and cryo collimator prep.) • 2013: 6.5 TeV - 25% nominal intensity • 2014: 7 TeV – 50% nominal intensity Aggressive LHC luminosity estimates
