Description
The higher beam intensities will enhance the effects of the beam losses observed during 2010 run. In particular beam losses due to so called UFOs are discussed, but also other beam loss phenomena like luminosity losses, injection losses and the leakage from the collimation system are considered. The current understanding of the quench limits reflected in the BLM thresholds on the cold magnets is presented. The thresholds for possible increased beam energy are reviewed.
