Description
The LHC experiments are building very complex detectors which will cope with the very
high collision energy and luminosity provided by the LHC. The final commissioning of
these detectors will require special beam conditions during the very early stage of
the LHC operation. In addition, the five experiments will have a number of different
requests in order to maximize the physics discovery potential during the first
year(s) of the LHC operation when both the beam intensity and the luminosity will be
below the nominal value. Finally, the various requests will have to be compatible
with the commissioning of the LHC machine which is not an easy task considering the
amount of energy stored in the machine and its tight aperture. The various requests
for the commissioning of the detectors and early physics will be discussed together
with their impact on the commissioning of the machine.
