H m=130 GeV 0.02105 ? m= 1 TeV 0.001104--- Black holes 0.0001103--- m > 3 TeV (MD=3 TeV, n=4) Expected event rates at production in ATLAS at L = 1033 cm-2 s-1 • Already in first year, large statistics expected from: • -- known SM processes understand detector and physics at s = 14 TeV • -- several New Physics scenarios • ~ 107 events to tape every 3 days assuming 30% data taking efficiency • statistical errors negligibleafter few days
Understand and calibrate detector and trigger in situ using well-known physics samples e.g. - Z ee, easy-to-trigger channels - tt b bjj Also useful to debug/optimize software (reconstruction, …) • Look for New Physicspotentially accessible in first year : • e.g. -- SM Higgs • -- SUSY (squarks, gluinos, Higgs bosons, ….) • -- others …. including surprises ? over some mass ranges Which studies and physics the first year ? • Understand basic SM physics at s = 14 TeV first checks of Monte Carlos • e.g. - measure cross-sections for e.g. minimum bias, W, Z, tt, QCD jets (to ~ 10-20 %), • events features, particle multiplicities, pT and mass spectra, angular distributions, etc. • - measure top mass (to 5-7 GeV) give feedback on detector performance (jet scale …) • Prepare the road to discovery: • -- measure backgrounds to New Physics : e.g. tt and W/Z+ jets (omnipresent …) • -- look at specific “control samples” (background-enriched) for the individual channels: • e.g. ttjj “gauges” ttbb background to ttH Note:if mH 120 GeV : fast Higgs discovery may be crucial in case of competition with Tevatron May be most difficult physics goal for first year …
The first “physics data” to commission the detector : cosmics • End 2006- beg 2007: 1-3 months of data • taking with cosmics. • Full simulations of cosmic muons in ATLAS • started (include cavern overburden) • Expected rates in the detector : few Hz • very useful events for debugging the • detector, first tracker alignment, • calorimeter energy reconstruction, etc.
A typical event …. • One track reconstruted in Muon chambers • Two tracks reconstructed in Inner Detector
April-May 2007 : only one beam in the machine (most of the time …) • here “physics data” are beam-halo muons and beam-gas interactions. Expected in ATLAS: -- ~ 105 (108) beam-halo muons in tracker (muon chambers) -- ~ 106 tracks in tracker from beam-gas
Well-known, clean processes from standard trigger menu: e.g. • Z ee : ECAL inter-calibration, absolute E-scale to ~ 0.1%, etc. • Z : p-scale in tracker and Muon Spectrometer, etc. • tt b bjj : absolute jet-scale from W jj (~1%), study b-tag, • reconstruction of complex final states (for ttH), etc. ~ 6 x 104 evts/day after cuts ~ 104 evts/day after cuts, S/B ~ 65 Additional lower-thresholds samples (pre-scaled triggers) : • Minimum-bias events :pp interaction properties, MC tuning, LVL1 efficiency, • radiation background in Muon chambers, etc. • QCD jets (20 ET400 GeV): QCD cross-sections and MC tuning, • trigger efficiency, calorimeter inter-calibration, • jet algorithms, background to Higgs, SUSY, etc. • Inclusive e pT > 10 GeV: trigger efficiency, ECAL calibration, ID alignment, • E/p, e reconstruction at low-pT, etc. • Inclusive pT > 6 GeV: trigger efficiency, reconstruction at low-pT, • E-loss in calorimeters, ID alignment, etc. These are only few examples … ~ 107 events per sample needed 10% of total trigger rate under normal operation (more at the beginning) First pp collisions : collect data for calibration and to understand “basic” physics

Which detector the first year ? staged staged in part staged staged Staged detector components: -- 1 pixel layer -- TRT outer end-cap -- Gap scintillator -- EEL/EES MDT and half CSC -- Part of forward shielding -- Part of LAr ROD -- Large part of HLT/DAQ processors staged Guiding physics principles: -- all sub-detectors needed already in 1st year -- physics potential decreases fast with decreasing h coverage (e.g. H significance decreases linearly) -- full radial redundancy in tracking less crucial at ~ 1033 Technical (e.g. installation) and schedule constraints

Complete detector needed at high luminosity: -- robust pattern recognition (efficiency, fakes rate) in the presence of pile-up and radiation background -- muon measurement -- powerful b-tag -- robustness against detector aging and L > 1034 -- precise measurements (e.g. light Higgs) may require low trigger thresholds at (very) high pT Summary of physics impact of staging initial detector
Conclusions • ATLAS has potentially an impressive physics programme right from the beginning. • Event statistics : 1 day at LHC 10 years at previous machines in some cases • Construction quality checks and beam tests of series detector modules show that the • detector “as built” should give a good starting-point performance. • However,a lot of data (and time …) will be neededat the beginning to: • --commission (to < 1% in most cases) the detector and trigger in situ • --reach the performance needed to optimise the physics potential • --understand “basic” physics at s = 14 TeVand normalise MC generators • --measure backgrounds to New Physicsextract a convincing “early” signal • Redundancy from several control samples is mandatory, especially for difficult channels • (e.g. light Higgs) and measurements (e.g. W mass) • The initial “physics data”(cosmics, beam-halo, beam-gas, first collisions, etc.) are • therefore crucial to reach quickly the “discovery-mode”.
