  1. CERN-RRB-2007-092 CERN-RRB-2007-094 LHCb RRB 24 October 2007 a. 2008 Construction Budget b. 2008 M&O Budgets A. Smith and O.Ullaland Common Fund status at end August 2007. Spending on infrastructure, which covers the installation costs for the fixed cabling as well as structures and other common items, has already been substantial and will continue at about the same rate throughout this year. The detectors covered by funds from the Common Fund have either spent the funds available or are in commissioning phase. About 1.8 MSFr was still uncommitted at the end of August.

  2. Core • Most of the Core spending came to an end in 2006. • The last delivery of HPDs for the RICHs was done in the first half of 2007 and some payments will still be coming up. • The Muon chamber production is approaching the end, but some Core funding is still required. • Purchasing for DAQ and data storage will continue at about the same rate throughout 2007 and 2008 and will be funded by Core and non-Core resources. No additional requests for funds to be presented to RRB.

  3. Category A M&O status for 2007 Based on extrapolations of the spending profile until end of August and the experience from previous years, we believe that the budget forecast for this year is correct for all the items apart from the power estimate.

  4. The budget for 2008, as discussed with the Scrutiny Group. Very small adjustments compared to this year. New collaborating institute, University College Dublin. The power estimate is changed to reflect scheduling changes of LHC and thereby the overestimate for 2007.

  5. Category B No known changes apart from an agreement at the LHCb Collaboration Board in September to fund the missing 500 kCHF as a special contribution shared between all LHCb collaborators to cover part of the cost for VELO spares. The total cost is estimated to 3.6 MSFr. 3.1 MSFr is expected to be financed inside the VELO project. This remaining 500 kCHF is asked to be covered by all the collaboration as an exceptional contribution to be spread over five years and shared as given in the table on this slide .
