The effect of ground motion on the LHC and HL-LHC beam orbit
The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will require unprecedented orbit stability at the low-beta experiments, ATLAS and CMS. Because the effect of seismic noise might become a relevant source of luminosity loss, several studies have been conducted to characterise the actual ground motion in the LHC tunnel. In preparation for the official groundbreaking of…

Impact of Surface Vibrations on LHC operations
Use Cases Impact of Surface Vibration on the LHC Operation Overview: As part of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade at CERN, major civil engineering works are being carried out partially during the Large Hadron Collider operation. These activities as other building construction activities at the surface have the potential to generate ground vibrations that could…
