High-in­ten­sity and high-bright­ness beams are key in­gre­di­ents to max­i­mize the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity of the LHC and ex­ploit its full po­ten­tial. This con­tri­bu­tion will de­scribe the op­ti­miza­tion of the beam and ma­chine pa­ra­me­ters to max­i­mize the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity for the LHC ex­per­i­ments, by tak­ing into ac­count the ex­pected in­ten­sity and bright­ness reach of the LHC and its in­jec­tor chain and the ca­pa­bil­i­ties of the de­tec­tors for the next run and fore­seen up­grade sce­nar­ios.

  For the pro­duc­tion of the LHC type beams, but also for the high in­ten­sity ones, the bud­get al­lo­cated to losses in the CERN in­jec­tor chain is main­tained as tight as pos­si­ble, in par­tic­u­lar to keep as low as pos­si­ble the ac­ti­va­tion of the dif­fer­ent ma­chine el­e­ments. Var­i­ous beam dy­nam­ics ef­fects, like for ex­am­ple beam in­ter­ac­tion with be­ta­tronic res­o­nances, beam in­sta­bil­i­ties, but also re­duced ef­fi­ciency of the RF cap­ture processes or RF noise, can pro­duce losses even on a very long time scale. The main dif­fer­ent mech­a­nisms pro­duc­ing long term losses ob­served in the CERN in­jec­tors, and their cure or mit­i­ga­tion, will be re­vised.
