Abstract:

The LHC is a very large, technically demanding scientific instrument and is a 
very large undertaking to build and operate. In this talk we will briefly 
recall why such a research device is needed before des cribing the main 
features of the LHC machine and presenting the present performance. Plans 
for performance upgrades foreseen in the next ten years will be shown, and 
we will then take a look at what might be on the more distant horizon.



Brief bio:

Roger Bailey obtained a PhD in Experimental Particle physics from the 
University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, in 1979. This was followed by a 
postdoctoral appointment with Rutherford Laboratory, Oxford, United Kingdom 
until 1983. During both of these activities he worked on HEP experiments at 
the CERN SPS, being based at CERN from 1977. In 1983 he joined the Operations 
Group at the CERN SPS, with responsibility for accelerator operation during 
the fixed target and p-pbar programs at this facility until 1989. He then 
joined the LEP commissioning effort, and subsequent operation, becoming 
Operations Group Leader in the late 1990s. After closure of LEP, he became 
progressively more involved in the LHC, developing the planning and building 
the team for LHC commissioning with beam. He was actively involved in LHC 
commissioning and early operation in the years 2008 to 2010. From 2011 he 
has been the director of the CERN Accelerator School (CAS).
