Description

After a brief reminder of the installation schedule and the performance goals that the LHC aims to achieve, the strategy for commissioning with protons is presented. Dedicated runs with ions and protons are mentioned, and how machine operation may be scheduled through a year is shown. Potential trouble spots during the operational cycle are then highlighted and an estimate of the resultant particle losses given.
