Description
All experiments will have installed their detector set-ups and will be ready for
commissioning with beam at the start of LHC operation. The physics programme is
expected to be rich even at the projected initial luminosities. This paper presents
the requirements and expectations of the experiments for single beams, early
collisions, the pilot physics run, the heavy-ion run and the special proton runs,
and may be used subsequently to set priorities in order to exploit optimally the
first LHC beams for physics
