We report preliminary considerations on cryogenics for a higher-energy LHC
("HE-LHC") with about 16.5 TeV beam energy and 20-T dipole magnets. In
particular we sketch the heat loads scaled on the proposed principal beam
parameters and size the cryogenic plants for different operating temperature of
the beam screens.Comment: 4 pages, contribution to the EuCARD-AccNet-EuroLumi Workshop: The
