Description
The Large Hadron Collider is presently in its first year of operation for High Energy Physics. The status of beam operation is discussed, presenting the evolution of beam parameters, achieved performance, beam energy and delivered luminosity. Expected and observed limitations are analyzed and the plans for further increases in LHC intensity, luminosity and beam energy are reviewed. Both short term and long term plans are presented
