New LHC baseline
Change of schedule for the LHC due to Corona Virus.
From Markus:
"Yesterday, the LHC experiments met with the CERN leaders to discuss the Run 3 schedule. The new baseline foresees beam commissioning Feb 2022, ramp-up May 2022, physics from June 2022 (Feb 2022 scenario). CMS will use this extra time to work on shielding. If ATLAS does not manage to get the muon upgrade under control, there is a chance for LHC commissioning in 2021 and a bit more time for physics in 2022 (Nov 2021 scenario). See the graph below. There is no impact on the LS3 and Run 4 schedule. The situation will be re-evaluated in October."
