Injection and beam dump

The initial commissioning of the LHC injections and beam dumps allowed the basic functionality of the systems to be verified, together with progress to be made on some of the systematic checks and measurements foreseen in the detailed commissioning programme. The observations and measurement results are summarised, including comparisons of element strengths and synchronisation, details of the local aperture measurements and some performance data for specific equipment sub-systems. The lessons learnt for the future LHC commissioning are emphasised.
