Description
The talk discusses the input from the experiments that is relevant to define next year's program. It covers the target for integrated luminosity for 2016, for both p-p and Heavy Ion physics, and the requests for special runs (high beta*, VdM scans, high or low pile-up runs…). The impact of LHC parameters and conditions on the experiments is also discussed, including the effect of pile-up, beam energy, bunch length, vacuum and background, etc..
