Title :
Progress of the LEP energy upgrade project
Author_Institution :
CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
Abstract :
Beams approaching 90 GeV are expected in LEP in 1995; to this end, 192 superconducting accelerating cavities will be installed. The LEP energy upgrade also requires a low-emittance optics, layout modifications, new machine components, powerful cryoplants and a general upgrade of the LEP infrastructure, which will have to distribute and cool away about twice the present energy requirements. The programme was launched in December 1989 and by now major milestones have been achieved. The progress achieved in the various activities are presented, with the aim of providing a view of the programme goals and status
