Sumario:The 2011 lead-lead run of the LHC not only exceeded all expectations for luminosity but also yielded very valuable information on future performance limits. An additional highlight was the partial demonstration of the feasibility of proton-lead collisions, the first upgrade of the LHC. Although uncertainties still remain, this operating mode has been adopted for the 2012 heavy ion run. The implications of running at special energies choice of bunch spacing and filling scheme are discussed. An outline of the future heavy-ion program up to 2022 (between LS1 and LS3) is given.
