Description
The LHC transfer line TI 8 was commissioned with beam in the autumn
of 2004. This talk outlines the tests performed and their
conclusions regarding measured beamparameters, optics, beam
instrumentation, control system and machine protection system. In
the same period the LSS4 extraction c hannel and TT40 line were
commissioned with high intensity beams. The important lessons on
machine protection and operational procedures learned from a beam
loss incident are summarised. An extrapolation of the experience
obtained during both tests towards LHC commissioning is made.
