HiLumi LHC Project

The High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC) is a major upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.

It is an international project led by CERN that aims to improve up the performance of the LHC. By increasing the number of collisions, and thus the data that the experiments gather, the HILumi LHC will allow physicists to study of known mechanisms in greater detail and observe rare new phenomena that might reveal themselves. 

The HiLumi LHC Project not only represents a new horizon for science, but also for technology. It relies on a several key innovative technologies that represent exceptional technological challenges, such as more powerful focusing magnets, unprecedented beam optics, and so-called 'crab cavities' for tilting the beams.
