Abstract

The summary session of the LHC Performance Workshop in Chamonix, 22-25 September 2014 [1], held at CERN on 8 October 2014 [2] synthesized one week of presentations and intense discussions on the near-, medium- and long-term strategy for the LHC, including the upgrades of the LHC and its injectors.
In particular, Chamonix 2014 discussed the lessons from, and the end of the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) up to powering tests and cold checkout, the injector status, the beam commissioning in 2015, the challenges and strategy for LHC Run 2, the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU), the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the consolidation of accelerator and non-LHC experiment areas through Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), as well as the strategy and preparation for the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). We report the main points and actions which have
emerged at the Chamonix 2014 workshop.
