2015 strategy – more detailed Low intensity commissioning of full cycle – 2 months First stable beams – low luminosity Intensity ramp-up – 1 to 2 months 50 ns operation (at pile-up limit) – Characterize vacuum, heat load, electron cloud, losses, instabilities, UFOs, impedance Options thereafter: – 1 week scrubbing for 25 ns, say 1 week to get 25 ns operational (if  * and crossing angles are changed), intensity ramp up with 25 ns with further scrubbing required – Commission levelling of 50 ns and push bunch intensity up, emittance down… not at all favored by experiments.
