P5 recommendation on Tevatron running Report of June 8 meeting FNAL
Charges • Should the Tevatron run through the end of FY09 as currently planned? • What are the factors and considerations which might lead to running beyond FY09?
Subject of June 8 meeting Run through FY09? • Will the accelerator deliver interesting level of integrated luminosity? • Can the detectors handle the luminosity? • Do the collaborations have the people to operate the detectors and analyze the data?
Running beyond FY09 • What is present reach and prospect for new discoveries? • Trigger issues • Endgame strategy • Battling the sqrt N barrier--will a few more fb-1 matter?
Might know more after analyses for Summer conferences Meet again in September to consider Running beyond FY09 • What is present reach and prospect for new discoveries? • Trigger issues • Endgame strategy • Battling the sqrt N barrier--will a few more fb-1 matter?
Close to present performance Accelerator projections • Driving indicators • 25 mA/hr stacking • > 100 store hours per week
D0 detector performance • Basically running well, producing nice results • Remaining issues for 09: • Silicon radiation damage • Fiber tracker occupancy
Silicon tracker • Good to go for 09
Fiber tracker Beginning of store More typical
CDF Detector • Running well, producing nice results • Issues • Inner silicon radiation damage • Intermediate silicon cooling problem

D0 people power 1--needs actuals
184 - 124 = 60 D0 people power 2- available or
CDF people power 1--needs * FTE’s
Committed Likely Unknown CDF people power 3--expertise
Findings summary • Accelerator running well and will likely deliver 6-7 fb-1 by end of FY09 • CDF and D0 detectors running well, some issues for 09 but no show-stoppers • CDF resources matched to needs through FY09 • Concerns about D0 people power in FY09 • Examine case for running beyond 09 at next P5 meeting (likely end of September)
Recommendations summary • Tevatron should run through end of FY09 • Lab should work with D0 to augment human resources • Visitors program is highly leveraged and cost-effective • Additional Applications Physicists?
