	The Field Description of the Large Hadron Collider (FiDeL) model is a set of semi-empirical equations linking the magnets behaviours established from magnetic measurements to the magnetic properties of the machine observed through beam measurements. The FiDeL model includes the parameterization of static components such as magnets residual magnetization, persistent currents, hysteresis and saturation as well as the decay and snap-back dynamic components. In the present paper, we outline the relationship between the beam observables (orbit, tune, chromaticity) and the model components during the commissioning to higher beam intensities in 2010-2011, with an energy of 3.5 TeV per beam. The main relevant issues are (i) the operation at 2 A/s and 10 A/s ramp rate and their influence on chromatic correction, (ii) the beta beating and its relation to the knowledge of the resistive quadrupoles transfer functions and (iii) the observed tune decay at injection energy and its possibles origins.

The Field Description of the Large Hadron Collider (FiDeL) model is a set of semi-empirical equations linking the magnets behaviours established from magnetic measurements to the magnetic properties of the machine observed through beam measurements. The FiDeL model includes the parameterization of static components such as magnets residual magnetization, persistent currents, hysteresis and saturation as well as the decay and snap-back dynamic components. In the present paper, we outline the relationship between the beam observables (orbit, tune, chromaticity) and the model components during the commissioning to higher beam intensities in 2010-2011, with an energy of 3.5 TeV per beam. The main relevant issues are (i) the operation at 2 A/s and 10 A/s ramp rate and their influence on chromatic correction, (ii) the beta beating and its relation to the knowledge of the resistive quadrupoles transfer functions and (iii) the observed tune decay at injection energy and its possibles origins.
