LHC transfer lines and injection systems

The status and commissioning plans of the transfer line and injection hardware are presented with focus on the injection dump and kickers. Modifications of the beam loss monitoring in the injection region, its readiness for the start-up and commissioning strategy are shown. A new interlock strategy for the injection protection elements and the injection septum is introduced. The expected transfer line stability and possibilities to improve the turnaround with optimized SPS supercycles for LHC injection are discussed.
