The beta function has a fundamental impact on the LHC performance and on the functioning of its machine protection and collimation systems. A new beta-beat diagnostic system, prototyped at the SPS, has been used to verify the time-dependent variations of the LHC lattice with unprecedented 1% beta-beta resolution and at a measurement bandwidth of about 1 Hz.

The LHC deploys a comprehensive suite of beam-based feedbacks for safe and reliable machine operation. This contribution summarises the commissioning and early results of the LHC feedback control systems on orbit, tune, chromaticity, and energy. Their performance – strongly linked to the associated beam instrumentation, external beam perturbation sources and optics uncertainties – is evaluated and compared with the feedback design assumptions.
