Abstract

The HL-LHC parameters assume unexplored regimes for hadron colliders in various aspects of accelerator beam dynamics and technology. This paper reviews the possible alternatives that could potentially improve the HLLHC baseline performance or lower the risks assumed by the project. The alternatives under consideration range between using flat beams at the  IP, compensate the long-range beam-beam encounters with wires and adding new RF cavities with larger or lower frequencies with respect to the existing RF system.
