The upper-bound conjecture for equiangular lines in dimensions 8 through 13

Let tnt'_n denote the largest number of lines in an equiangular family obtained from the minimal vectors of a lattice in dimension nn. Dimension 881313 conjecture. For 8n138\le n\le 13 we have

tn2n,t'_n\le 2n,

and t13=26t'_{13}=26. This is motivated by lower bounds tn2(n1)t'_n\ge 2(n-1) and computational experiments with classical lattices of minimum 44; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
