General news I

1. General news I • Update on progress for TP: • 2 slides follow to be shown at USG02 (Upgrade Steering Group) Monday 27 Jan at 16:00 (1 hr ago, https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=297597) … comments + time machine? • LHCC has concerns about R&D program for Phase 2 • Uncovered areas? • Duplication of effort between CMS & ATLAS? • Has asked for presentations at March 4 meeting • See USG01 https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=294535 • Therefore, upgrade management is conducting an R&D survey: • Information to be gathered by JH before USG meeting of Feb. 3 (1 week!). • Template for information attached to the agenda (Phase2_R&D_template_JM_DC.docx). • U.S. R&D proposals submitted for 2014, no decisions • Others – please let me know, even verbally, ASAP! European AIDA 2 proposals?

2. General news II • Upcoming: all-day “kickoff” workshop on Thursday Feb. 6, on the topic “Upgrade TP Performance Studies: • https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=293230 • Alexei Safonov will give the 15’+5’ muon talk • New Hypernews forum “Upgrade Technical Proposal Performance Studies”, you are invited to subscribe • https://hypernews.cern.ch/HyperNews/CMS/get/upgrade-tp-studies.html • Planning for Karlsruhe Upgrade Week going on • Website open but lacking important info (https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=294765) • Draft schedule – next slide

3. When to have muon parallel session? How much time needed? Attendance from muon community? Draft Karlsruhe schedule

4. Update on muon preps. for the Phase 2 TP • TP muon editing group • Editor JH, contact persons: • Consolidation of existing: Cristina DT, Armando CSC, Gabriella RPC • Simulation: Anna Colaleo, Alexei Safonov • New detectors: Archana, Marcello Abbrescia • Electronics: Paul Aspell • Integration into CMS and infrastructure, costing: TBD • Current status of muon work • Twiki page https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/HLLHCmuonPhase2 • Detailed outline of TP created and put into the official draft • R&D proposals being hatched, much simulation work going on, technical questions being addressed

5. Expectations for first draft of TP muon section • Draft ~2 weeks • Text available from ECFA, RRB: can put something in ~4 weeks • May take ~2 months Briefly: • Intro • Longevity of existing • Performance estimates • GE1/1 and GE2/1 • RE3/1 and RE4/1 • ME0 behind rebuilt HE • Infrastructure • Project planning • Costing

6. Backup slides

7. Recap: the Phase 2 muon plans Three main aspects: • Aging studies, replacement • GIF++ tests for CSC and RPC chamber aging, DT components • Freon replacement for RPC gas after LS3 • DT minicrate replacement • Forward muon trigger and redundancy • GE1/1 and GE2/1 based on improved L1 trigger, redundancy in the most intense region • RE3/1 and R4/1: timing for background rejection and PU mitigation • Forward muon tagging extension (ME0) • Large eta coverage (~2.1-4.0) for big acceptance, S/N boosts in modes with muon • Hermeticity for modes excluding muons

8. High Rapidity Muon (HRM) layout • Proposed at ECFA workshop
