	Some of the upgrade scenarios of the high-luminosity LHC require large intensity per bunch from the injector chain. Single bunch beams with intensities of up to 3.5 to 4·10¹¹ p/b and nominal emittances were successfully produced in the PS Complex and delivered to the SPS in 2010. This contribution presents results of studies with this new intense beam in the SPS to probe single bunch intensity limitations with nominal gamma transition. In particular, the vertical Transverse Mode Coupling Instability (TMCI) threshold with low chromaticity was observed at 1.6·10¹¹ p/b for single nominal LHC bunches in the SPS. With increased vertical chromaticity, larger intensities could be injected, stored along the flat bottom and accelerated up to 450 GeV/c. However, significant losses and/or transverse emittance blow up were then observed. Longitudinal and transverse optimization efforts in the PSB, PS and SPS were put in place to minimize this beam degradation and succeeded to obtain single 2.3·10¹¹ p/b LHC type bunches with satisfying parameters at extraction of the SPS.

	The first LHC Pb ion run took place at 1.38 A TeV/c per beam in autumn 2010. After a short period of running-in, the injector chain was able to fill the collider with up to 137 bunches per ring, with an intensity of 10⁸ Pb ions/bunch, about 50% higher than the design value. This yielded a luminosity of 3E25 Hz/cm², allowing the experiments to accumulate just under 10 inverse microbarn each during the four week run. We review the performance of the individual links of the injector chain, and address the main issues limiting the LHC luminosity, in view of reaching 10²6 Hz/cm² in 2011, and substantially beyond when the LHC energy increases after the long shutdown in 2013-14.
