Room: 874/1-011 Review of existing systems and how they could be better integrated to aid day-to-day machine operation and handling (online diagnostics, post-mortem, pre-analysis of which parameter to tune etc.). Impact of instabilities on machine operation and LHC luminosity performance.

09:15 - 09:45
Room: 874/1-011 Review of transverse instabilities already observed and expected with operation at increased beam energy and intensities after LS1, and functional requirements on diagnostics systems to better understand and cure these instabilities. Impact of instabilities on machine operation and LHC luminosity performance.
