Abstract
The LHC [1] is a proton-proton ring collider with a circumference of 27 km designed for \(\sqrt{s}=\) 14 TeV located at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) near Geneva, Switzerland. During its first running period (Run 1) from 2010 until 2012, it was operating at \(\sqrt{s}=\) 7 TeV and 8 TeV for pp collisions.
