Lessons from LHC Commissioning  
 
  • M. Lamont

  Although not without some setbacks, LHC commissioning progressed relatively smoothly and led into a period of productive exploitation. This despite its complexity, the large scale use of superconductivity, and the attendant machine protection risks from stored magnetic and beam energy. The commissioning history is recalled. An attempt is made to extract possible elements of the general approach that might useful in a wider context.
