2016 Lecture Series: The LHC Resumes Operation and Prepares Its Future

Lecture by Frédérick Bordry. Director of the Acceleratores and Technology Sector, CERN 1:06:03
Synopsis
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with a circumference of 27 kilometers, was built at CERN to explore particle physics at the energy frontier. It was approved in 1994 after ten years’ work building prototypes of the main accelerator components, and finally began running in 2009 and gathering data as of 2010.
After start-up, the accelerator ran successfully for three years, delivering an impressive quantity of data to LHC experiments and operating with a center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV. Following an extensive technical stoppage (LS1 two years), LHC physics was successfully resumed in 2015 with a new energy record of 13 TeV.
This talk will examine the main technical challenges facing the LHC and describe its restart at 13 TeV. Plans to maximize collider performance in the coming decades include upgrade work on the accelerator and detectors (the high-luminosity LHC). The speaker will also look ahead to the post-LHC era.
Bio-notes
Frédérick Bordry has been Director of CERN’s Accelerators and Technology Sector since January 2014, and was recently confirmed in the appointment as part of the new team of Director-General Fabiola Gianotti. He is responsible for the operation of the whole CERN accelerator complex, with particular emphasis on the LHC and the development of new projects and technologies.
He holds a PhD in electrical engineering and energy conversion. After several years teaching at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), he took up a teaching and research post at the University of Toulouse before joining CERN in 1986. From 1994 onwards, he took part in the design and construction of CERN’s flagship particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which made possible the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.
As a convinced advocate of international exchange in the cultural, political and scientific fields, he has devoted a considerable amount of time to reflecting on issues relating to education, research and multilingualism.
