Description
The present challenges in terms of measurement, correction and modelling for LHC operations are briefly summarized. There is potential for pushing the performance in the next couple of years - the options and the implications of these for operations are discussed. In the longer term, operational challenges will include the move to higher energy, the potential squeeze to nominal beta* and the push to nominal beam intensity. The demands that these will make on the operational measurement, correction and modelling strategies are outlined.
