  1. The Particle Physics Group 2006: Christmas Meeting Summary and Outlook

  2. People • New lecturer - Christian • New professor - Fred • New PPARC fellow - Pilko • New (honorary) professor – Keith • New professor and lecturer – Steve and Cinzia • Plus many new postdocs and students Group now 92 strong (and growing) Space is getting tight!

  3. Running Experiments Running well and producing great physics Strong Manchester involvement

  4. Major contribution to the SCT – successfully completedMajor and growing contribution to the triggerIncreasing rôle in physics studies

  5. New Experiments • CALICE – big increase • SuperNEMO – bigger increase • FP420 – biggest increase • Detector R and D (including ATLAS upgrade) Guarantees for a busy future

  6. Theory Leading group for QCD phenomenology. Lots of useful calculation and results linked to experiments Increasing BSM activity - building links with astronomy/cosmology. New lecturer appointment soon

  7. eScience+Computing • Running 1000 node Tier 2 centre • Leading NorthGrid • Leading Grid Security group GridPP3 grant submitted • Strong local computing infrastructure

  8. Accelerators • Build up of varied activities for ILC LCABD-2 grant submitted • Working with FP420 – mixture of detector physics and accelerator science • New FFAG project – a real accelerator on our doorstep New lecturer to be appointed soon

  9. Outlook • 2006 was busy • 2007 will be very busy • Have a good break over Christmas (You’ll need it)
