The US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) continues the involvement
of the major US labs in the LHC. It began with the US-LHC construction
project that built interaction region magnets for the LHC. Fermilab is
the lead lab in both projects. The Accelerator Division is active in
several programs related to LHC accelerator physics, beam
instrumentation and commissioning.
I will review recent progress and highlight some accomplishments.
Opportunities for involvement in machine studies at CERN and LHC
commissioning will be discussed.
