Abstract

We report preliminary considerations for a higher-energy LHC (“HE-LHC”) with about 16.5 TeV beam energy and 20-T dipole magnets. In particular we sketch the proposed principal parameters, luminosity optimization schemes, the new HE-LHC injector, the magnets required, cryogenics system, collimation issues, and requirements from the vacuum system.
