  1. The LHC injection and beam dumping systems The LHC injection systems located in points 2 and 8 are comprised of several elements common to the LHC ring and the downstream ends of the TI 2 and TI 8 transfer lines, namely the injection septa MSI, the injection kickers MKI and several sets of collimators and masks for protection of LHC equipment and experiments. The LHC beam dumping system is located in the LHC tunnel in point 6 and in the specially built TD tunnels and UD caverns, and comprises extraction kickers MKD, extraction septa MSD, dilution kickers MKB and the absorber block TDE, together with collimators and masks for machine protection purposes. The injection and extraction processes and system hardware are briefly reviewed. For both systems, the interfaces to the surrounding LHC equipment are described, together with specific issues for other services, in particular vacuum. The requirements and schedule for installation and hardware commissioning are presented.
