The 7th HL-LHC annual collaboration meeting in Madrid reviewed the current progress and set the goals for next year, Accelerating News.

Crab cavities will help increase the luminosity of collisions in the High-Luminosity upgrade of the LHC, Accelerating News.

The first HiLumi - FCC Innovation course will take place on 31 January - 1 February 2018.

This is the kickoff event (30st October to 1st November 2017, Main Auditorium) for a series of meetings, running throughout 2018, with plenary events and intermediate periods of working group activities. More information is available on Indico.

In addition to the dipole and quadrupole magnets that guide and focus the charged particles, corrector magnets are used to cure imperfections in the magnets and compensate for alignment errors, Accelerating News.

In the HL-LHC, two 2-metre-long canted cosine theta magnets will be positioned near the insertion region of the ATLAS and CMS experiments and will be used as corrector magnets, CERN Bulletin.

The assembly of the new superconducting crab cavities, the testing of which is planned to take place at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) in 2018, is progressing with a steady pace and on schedule, CERN Bulletin.

The new superconducting crab cavities being assembled at CERN, CERN Updates.

The HL-LHC project is progressing in the construction phase. The hardware models as well as the prototypes of equipment in their final configuration are under construction or under test. In 2017, we achieved a number of key milestones. T

A short magnet model for the High-Luminosity LHC project was tested in the newly-commissioned vertical test station in hall SM18, CERN Bulletin.
