15 June 2023

The recent IPAC’23 conference was an ideal opportunity to present and discuss within our community the status of the beam dynamics simulations for Run 4, marking the start of HL-LHC operation. At top energy, proton beams will circulate in the machine for about 10 hours, covering inside the LHC ring about half the distance of…
