MOXKI01 LHC: Construction and Commissioning Status 1
 
  • L. R. Evans
    CERN, Geneva
 
  The LHC is now in its final phase of hardware commissioning. The whole ring is complete apart from a few elements in the matching regions yet to be installed. The first of the eight sectors has been cooled down and power tests to full energy are underway. Beam commissioning will start as soon as the last sector becomes available, hopefully before the end of 2007. The commissioning plan foresees a short "engineering" run with colliding beams at or near the injection energy of 450 GeV. This will be followed by a shutdown to finish installing the detectors and to commission the last sectors to full current. A review of the commissioning status to date will be given.
