Performance of the LHC, ATLAS and CMS in 2011

Abstract

The path taken by the LHC team to reach 3.6 10${}^{33}$ cm${}^{-2}$ s${}^{-1}$ instantaneous luminosity, and to deliver 5.6 fb${}^{-1}$ per experiment is summarized. The main performances of the two experiments are highlighted, in particular the way they managed to cope with the already high level of "pile-up". Selected Standard Model and top physics results are given, and the status of the limits on the Higgs boson search by each experiment is summarized. A brief overview of the search for supersymmetry and exotic phenomena is made at the end.

Presented at the 2011 Hadron Collider Physics symposium (HCP-2011), Paris, France, November 14-18 2011, 12 pages, 26 figures
