Description
In three years of operation, the LHC has delivered a total of more than 25 fb-1 of integrated luminosity, providing collisions at 7 and 8 TeV c.o.m. The reasons for this tremendous success will be underlined.
At the beginning of next year, the machine will be stopped for about 20 months, at the end of which the energy, and therefore the potential for discoveries, will be increased. The details of this "upgrade" will be shown, as well as the strategy for future performance improvements.
