Description
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been operated for three years for physics leading to the discovery of a Higgs boson. The operational experience will be reviewed together with the main challenges encountered and the solutions applied. The performance outlook after the long shut-down and the future upgrade plans will be discussed with particular emphasis on the beam dynamics aspects.
