Description

After the incident of the 19th September the LHC has been initially re-commissioned to operate at 1.18TeV. Compared with the previous year, the 2009 commissioning campaign took much less time to prepare the machine for operation. This was mainly possible thanks to the reduced energy level and the increased working time. While the preparation of the machine for operation to 3.5 TeV will require “only” one further step in the commissioning of the main circuits, the 5 TeV energy commissioning will require more tests of the different circuits and a deep analysis of the obtained results. An overview of what has been achieved is presented with a particular attention to the encountered (solved and remaining) non-conformities.
