 The LHC Commissioning and Upgrade section:

Is responsible for the optics design and development for the nominal LHC machine.

Studies the mechanical aperture and magnet field imperfections of the machine as installed and impact on beam dynamics.        

Contributes to the study of commissioning and machine operation scenarios, measurement procedures, including specifications of LHC beam parameters.

Provides support for the operation of the LHC during its initial commissioning phase. Participates in machine studies aimed at improving the machine performance.

Hosts the Project coordination for the LHC collimation system.     

Contributes to R&D efforts related to the Phase II LHC collimation system.

Contributes to the study of LHC beam limitations and ways to overcome them to reach and exceed LHC nominal performance (LHC upgrade studies and LHeC).

Is responsible for the development and maintenance of software tools for accelerator design and operation. 

Contributes to and co-ordinates the EUCARD-related R&D activities (LHC upgrade studies).
