MOAM5P50 | LHC Run 2: Results and Challenges | 14 |
|
||
The first proton run of the LHC was very successful and resulted in important physics discoveries. It was followed by a two-year shutdown where a large number of improvements were carried out. In 2015, the LHC was restarted and this second run aims at further exploring the physics of the standard model and beyond at an increased beam energy. This article gives a review of the performance achieved so far and the limitations encountered, as well as the future challenges for the CERN accelerators to maximize the data delivered to the LHC experiments in Run 2. Furthermore, the status of the 2016 LHC run and commissioning is discussed. | ||

Lessons from LHC Commissioning | |
|
||
Although not without some setbacks, LHC commissioning progressed relatively smoothly and led into a period of productive exploitation. This despite its complexity, the large scale use of superconductivity, and the attendant machine protection risks from stored magnetic and beam energy. The commissioning history is recalled. An attempt is made to extract possible elements of the general approach that might useful in a wider context. | ||
