Description
An efficient turnaround will be an important parameter for the integrated luminosity performance at LHC in 2012, when an operation with steady beam parameters will be achieved at the beginning early on in the run. Improvements of the operational cycle were already put successfully in place after the 2010 experience but additional improvements are possible. In this paper, the 2011 turnaround performance is reviewed and the benefits of the improvements from 2010 are presented. Possible further gains are proposed for 2012.
