Shutdown
Stage A physics running for ALICE and LHCb

43 (44) equidistant bunches

Need to do something for LHCb



Previously thought to displace bunches in one beam (asym)
Can do better (symmetrically displace bunches in both beams)
Allows to adjust luminosity sharing between 2 and 8 while keeping
maximum number of collisions in 1 and 5
