Summary

The sector test has to be regarded as very successful

Essential step towards circulating beams and the LHC startup

MPP contribution MPP has significantly improved efficiency of

the injection test in sector 1-2 Contribution was appreciated by other

participating teams Very useful exercise for participating MPP

experts
