As Long Shutdown 3 approaches, delivery schedules from the collaborations are more important than ever. A collaborative effort has seen good progress across the project worldwide, including from more-recent agreements with Pakistan and Brazil. International collaborations remain a central pillar of the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC) project. Production activities are progressing well across all existing…

IT String: from leak non-conformity observation to first commissioning phase
The IT String is in its operational phase, with many lessons already learnt during the tests so far. The path to this phase – including detection and resolution of a non-conformity, and cooldown – has provided valuable insights and fostered strong collaboration across teams. Leak non-conformity: detection to resolution Following the successful completion of most…

Overview of collaboration status and situation with Russian in-kind
The HL-LHC Project is entering the series construction phase and therefore most of the collaboration agreements are now focused on the production of final elements that will have their destination in the LHC tunnel and in the set of operational spares. The in-kind contributions account for about 10% of the total project cost, but at…

Update on Collaboration agreements and report from the Collaboration Board at the last Annual Meeting
The still unresolved COVID-19 pandemic, which defined the year 2020, has unsurprisingly had an impact on our collaborations. However, the impact appears to be contained to a few months, with delays that can be reabsorbed and are also partially mitigated by the decision taken after the 2019 C&SR to delay the start of LS3 by…
