  1. Organisational and financial challenges of physics at the Terascale Jos Engelen NIKHEF, University of Amsterdam and Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) 1

  2. Milestones from report to LHCC referees of 07 Mar CMS TC assessment of status of subprojects wrt v34.1. Takes account of : recent milestone reports : projections on crucial item delivery trends Delays are non-cumulative but some are interdependent. Arrows are estimates of the internal v34.1 sub/project contingency Milestone completion wrt plan v34.1 v34.1 v34.2 Average delay of 1-2 months reflected in both plots For v34.2, invest resources to: recover delays : generate contingency

  3. Conclusions The LHC experiments are approaching ‘readiness for beam’ rapidly now LHCb by end of July (M1 to be completed later) ALICE by the end of July (various modular detectors will be completed later) ATLAS: largely ready, but: repair leak ECT-A; re-commission SCT cooling; bake out central part of beam pipe; final integrated magnet test  brings us somewhat beyond end of July CMS: largely ready, but: re-commission ID cooling; install Pixel detector; install one ECAL end cap; magnet test  brings us somewhat beyond end of July The LHC Computing Grid is operational J. Engelen - Scientific Policy Committee, June 16,17 2008 at CERN

  4. Progress in Underground Xpt Cavern Installation of metallic structures (in green) finished. Next activities: Install metallic plates on floor (Oct-Nov) Shielding installation (Nov-Mar) HF/YE/YB cabling of chains (Feb-Jun 06) UXC will be ready for lowering (May/June 06) UXC was delivered to CMS 1st Feb 2005

  5. The last Barrel Toroid coil was moved into position on 25th August 2005

  11. CERN, a very essential pre-condidtion... • (NOT an infinite source of funding!) • LHCC – peers, experts, critical • (expert sub-committees) • RRB’s – to involve Funding Agencies • (Scrutiny Group) • The Collaborations – Informally organized, • but in a well defined manner (‘constitution’) • But in fact it is the common, ambitious and very • challenging scientific goal that kept/keeps us • going!
