Description
Based on the TI8 experience, the measures neeeded to reach the
required state of
readiness of TI 2 and TI 8 to deliver beam to the LHC during the
commissioning
phase are discussed. The main objectives for the performance of the
transfer lines
and injections at this stage of the LHC commissioning are outlined,
and the impact
of the lower demanded intensities on equipment and machine
protection commissioning
is addressed. The procedures for commissioning the first injection
in the LHC are
described. Subsystem dependencies – radiation, instrumentation,
controls – and the
necessary pre-testing phases with beam are highlighted.
