Abstract
The path taken by the LHC team to reach 3.6 10 cm s instantaneous luminosity, and to deliver 5.6 fb per experiment is summarized. The main performances of the two experiments are highlighted, in particular the way they managed to cope with the already high level of "pile-up". Selected Standard Model and top physics results are given, and the status of the limits on the Higgs boson search by each experiment is summarized. A brief overview of the search for supersymmetry and exotic phenomena is made at the end.
