Description

An overview is given of the LEP performance in 1991 as compared to the goals defined in the design phase and the targets agreed with the physics experiments during the year. Achievements and limitations in the machine operation for physics in terms of beam current and luminosity are discussed and analyzed. Progress in beam polarization studies leading to improved energy calibration by the resonant depolarization technique are described. Finally, prospects and future plans to increase luminosity, to upgrade the energy and to implement polarization control are presented. (author)
