Popis: The operation of the LHC RF system and beam dynamics studies in 2016 are presented. A fault summary is given, showing a reliable operation. Power consumption and promising studies of the full-detuning scheme are discussed. Diagnostics and software improvements done or to be done are detailed. As for beam dynamics, important advancement has been achieved concerning loss of Lan- dau damping and bunch flattening in 2016. Open questions related to controlled emittance blow-up and how PS—SPS-LHC bunch—to-bueket transfer studies helped to improve LHC injection losses are shown as well. Finally, future improvements and studies are presented.
