Abstract
Résumé

The first three year run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ended in the spring of 2013. During this period, the collider was operated mainly at beam energies of 3.5 and 4 TeV. The performances that have been achieved during that first run and the challenges for commissioning and operating the LHC are presented. A brief outlook into the upcoming run at an energy of 6.5 TeV will be given.

La première période d'opération du grand collisionneur à hadrons (GCH) s'est terminée au printemps 2013. Pendant cette période, le collisionneur a fonctionné principalement à des énergies par faisceau de 3,5 et 4 TeV. La performance atteinte pendant cette période ainsi que les défis de la mise en route du GCH sont présentés. Un apercu de la prochaine période d'opération à 6,5 TeV est donné.
