MOYAA01 The LHC from Commissioning to Operation 11

  In 2011 the LHC moves from commissioning into the physics production phase with the aim of accumulating 1fb-1 by the end of 2011. The progress from commissioning to operation is described. Emphasis is put on the beam performance, but also on the performance of the different hardware systems. The role of collimation and machine protection is discussed, in view of the very high stored beam and magnet energy. Comment: Other invited presentations in this conference will cover the experience with beam instrumentation and the upgrade programmes.
