The implementation of large angle crab crossing using superconducting cavities operating on the TM110 mode. Beam commissioning, operation, cavity availability, reliability and luminosity increase from the crab crossing (purely geometric gain plus gain in beam-beam tune shift). KEKB crab-cavity diagnostics and set-up/tuning/alignment procedures. Frequency, reasons, beam observations, and...

LHC beams and luminosity evolution during the 2010 Run with some estimates on future projections. Present intensity limitations from operational experience and machine availability. Hints on upgrade beam parameters based on LHC experience (for example, lower emittance and higher than nominal beam-beam tune shift)

Detector upgrade plans and schedule for the experiments, and their alignment with planned LHC upgrade. Constraints and requirements from the experiments on the proposed upgrade scenarios with crab cavities, early separation with D0 dipole, and large Piwinski angle scheme. Planned civil engineering and upgrade work around IP's 1 and 5 that could have synergies or conflicts with a crab-cavity...
