![]() ![]() To address this exciting challenge, Prof Stephen Gibson leads the UK collaboration between the CERN Beam Instrumentation group and Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) to develop novel Electro-Optic Beam Position Monitors (EO-BPM). Optimising the performance of the crab-cavities at the HL-LHC requires challenging new instrumentation that can measure the transverse shape of a 1ns long proton bunch passing by at nearly the speed of light. The HL-LHC will achieve this luminosity increase by a combination of focusing the proton beams more tightly at the interaction points, increasing the beam current and crab-rotating the bunches to maximise the geometric overlap between the colliding beams. The upgrade will enable the search for new, rare particles and precision measurements of the standard model of particle physics. The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider is a major accelerator upgrade at CERN that will increase the luminosity delivered to the ATLAS and CMS experiments by an order of magnitude. ![]()
