Description
The LHC requires an excellent control of particle losses which will be provided by the LHC Cleaning and Machine Protection System. The performance and function of these systems depends critically on the stability of the beam and may eventually limit the LHC performance.

In order to counteract environmental and accelerator-inherent beam perturbation sources, control of the key beam parameters - orbit, tune, energy, coupling and chromaticity - will be an integral part of LHC operation. Since manual correction of these parameters may reach its limit with respect to required precision and expected time-scales, the LHC is the first proton collider that requires automatic feedback control systems for safe and reliable machine operation.

This seminar provides an overview on the stability, design and architecture of the LHC beam-based feedback systems.
