Experiment and Machine Protection from Fast Losses caused by Crab Cavities in the High Luminosity LHC

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade aims for a tenfold increase in integrated luminosity compared to the nominal Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and for operation at a leveled luminosity five times higher than the nominal LHC peak lumin ...

The Pristine survey II: A sample of bright stars observed with FEROS

Pascale Jablonka

Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects formed in the first Gyr of the Universe. They are rare and, to select them the most successful strategy has been to build on large and low-resolution spectroscopic surveys. The combination of narrow- and bro ...

A Sub-Quadratic Exact Medoid Algorithm

François Fleuret, James Peter Newling

We present a new algorithm, trimed, for obtaining the medoid of a set, that is the element of the set which minimises the mean distance to all other elements. The algorithm is shown to have, under weak assumptions, complexity O(N^(3/2)) in R^d where N is t ...

Long term dynamics of the high luminosity Large Hadron Collider with crab cavities

Javier Barranco Garcia, Riccardo De Maria, Alexej Grudiev

The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) aims to achieve an integrated luminosity of 200-300 fb(-1) per year, including the contribution from the upgrade of the injector chain. For the HL-LHC the larger crossing angle together with ...

Longitudinal intensity effects in the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Juan Federico Esteban Müller

This PhD thesis provides an improved knowledge of the LHC longitudinal impedance model and a better understanding of the longitudinal intensity effects. These effects can limit the LHC performance and lead to a reduction of the integrated luminosity. The L ...
