Description
This talk will cover the expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors and some of the highlights of the global commissioning work done in 2008 with basically fully operational detectors. A selection of early physics measurements based on 2009/2010 data will be then presented. These are meant to illustrate the importance of understanding the performance of these complex detectors, while beginning at the same time to explore the exciting physics possibilities opened up by the LHC even in its first years of operation.
