Preparatory Phase of the Large Hadron Collider upgrade
The main aim of SLHC-PP is to prepare the Super-Large Hadron Collider (SLHC) project for a decision on the approval of its implementation by 2011. Beside the justification of SLHC by the physics results and operational experience from the first years of LHC running, the necessary ingredients for the approval will include: the maturity of new technologies required for SLHC, solutions for critical safety issues, and the formation of collaborations for the implementation, including the definition of work sharing and financial commitments.
