Following the successful research and development programme on superconducting (SC) accelerating cavities which began in 1979, the initial LEP2 programme foresaw the installation of 192 SC cavities in addition to the original 128 ambient-temperature copper accelerating cavities. The aim was to achieve an operational beam energy of 87 GeV, with an expected peak luminosity of about 4 × 10³¹ cm⁻² s⁻¹. In order to fully exploit the physics potential of LEP, and thanks to the steady improvement both in our understanding of the machine and in machine performance, the scope of the LEP2 programme was progressively widened to enable an increase in operational energy from 87 GeV in 1996 to 96 GeV by 1998—with an expected maximum peak luminosity of about 1.4 × 10³² cm⁻² s⁻¹.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;LEP design report, v.3 : LEP2 , Geneva : CERN, 1996, http://dx.doi.org/10.17181/CERN.HAIW.7L49.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

LEP was used from 1989 until 2000. Around 2001 it was dismantled to make way for the &lt;/ins&gt;[[&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Large Hadron Collider]], which re-used the &lt;/ins&gt;LEP &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;tunnel.
