Description
The performance and experience with the LHC machine protection system during the 2011 run will be briefly summarized. Emphasis will be given to identify further potential improvements of the existing protection systems for the 2012 run alongside possibilities to allow for a more efficient strategy during the intensity ramp up whilst maintaining the required validation steps and dependability for the various machine protection elements. The role of machine protection during the 2011 MD periods and special runs will be summarized.
