Optimisation of LHC Integrated Luminosity

Luminosity is the key figure of merit of a collider, its integrated value being proportional to the data collected by the physics detectors. The goal of a collider run is to collect the largest possible integrated luminosity over the fixed time allocated for physics in order to maximise the probability of physics discovery. This study aims at devising a strategy to maximise the integrated luminosity of a circular collider. The research is carried out in two steps: the first one is devoted to optimisation a posteriori of what was done at the CERN Large Hadron Collider during Run 2, whereas the second step consists in the performance analysis of strategies to optimise the integrated luminosity applied in conditions that simulate the control room situation and the evolution of the collider's run.
