  1. Overview of the participation of the CIS and SEE countries in the LHC Experiments NEC, VARNA 12 – 16 September 2005 Nicolas Koulberg, CERN

  2. CERN mandate: Foster the international collaboration CERN priorities: to assist the European NMS in their effort to build HEP communities of sustainable size and maintain Its valuable collaboration with major international partners Status: Cooperation Agreements with all countries except Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan CIS Countries are independent members of ATLAS, ALICE and LHCb and member of RDMS in CMS Interest of NMS physicists in the CERN scientific programme continues to grow (not only LHC but fix target programme, ISOLDE and AD) CERN support for visits: 350 Man/month in 2005

  3. Total contribution :190 MCHF of 600 MCHF expected from all NMS Participants : 1100 of 1900 from all NMS Candidates for membership: Romania, Turkey(?),Slovenia(?)

  4. CMS HCAL Bulgaria We are brothers in spirit, you and I Cherishing the same ideals Hristo Botev • 1.2 MCHF; 62 persons • CMS - 4.06 M CHF • ALICE; • NA 48; NA 49; HARP; • University of Sofia (Phys & Math) • Institute for Nuclear Research • and Nuclear Energy (INRNE) • Central Laboratory for Parallel • Processing • Concentration / CMS • Increasing participation, despite • all difficulties • Many young people involved • Passivity of authorities • Painful way to get funding • Funding for CMS only

  5. Serbia 22 persons 0.75 MCHF ATLASCMS VINCA Institute, Belgrade Institute of Physics, Belgrade University of Belgrade Connecting pieces for the CMS Endcap I am feeling with my wing torn out like a brother one without the other… Serbian Epos • Good contribution • New group in ATLAS • (Belgrade University) • Visit of 40 students • (7-9 Oct. 2004) • Successful re-integration Hydraulic system

  6. Armenia Let us be proud of our arduous work And thirsty for the arts and knowledge. O.Manhdessian 1994 – Cooperation Agreement ALICE 0.161 MCHF 9 persons CMS 0.15 MCHF 5 persons ATLAS 0.24 MCHF 4 persons Participation in CMS via JINR since 1995 1997– MoU ATLAS 2001– MoU ALICE but participation since 1998 Yerevan Physicis Institute State University Al-ring absorber produced by YrPhI and Armenian industry (ALICE) • Large physics institute before 1991 • Visible and good participation in • all three experiments • Strong participation in AliEn (Grid) • Support from Armenian Community • of Switzerland • No fund for contribution and visits • low salary in home institutes • narrow network capacity

  7. Polishing fiber robot for The ATLAS TileCal The ceramic supports, produced by YerPhI and MARS factory for the CMS Endcap preshower Armenia

  8. Outstanding • contribution to ATLAS: • TileCal and equipment for • MDT chambers; • Strong contribution to • ATLAS Common Project • (Burrel Toroid Warm Structure) • Contribution via JINR • Significant contribution • to CMS through RDMS • Key role for quality control • of PWO crystals • CMS Gold award to MZOR • (Absorber Endcap Cal) • Grid development via • RDMS Belarus 94 – Cooperation Agreement CMS5.3 MCHF 25 persons ATLAS0.59 MCHF Com. Fund 0.25 MCHF 8 persons 98 – State Committee of Science + JINR  Participation in CMS 99– MoU for ATLAS State University, Institute for Nuclear Problem, National Centre for HEP, Institute for Applied Physical Problems End of assembly of HE-1, CMS • No fund for visits • No resources in currency • Customs problems • Problem with Common • Fund in ATLAS

  9. Belarus Connection boxes for the BT Warm Structure just delivered to CERN The participants of the Project, EndCap Toroid of ATLAS as the background

  10. Summary Existence of highly qualified potential Valuable contribution to CERN research programme Good use of links with JINR not only in CMS Good use of the industrial opportunities in Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Croatia as well as in Armenia and of high-tech in Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia Strengthening of the positions of the national institutes through the international cooperation Almost all the countries involved in the Grid development

  11. Still problematic: Lack of financial support for science and fundamental research Lack of clear policy or elaborated strategy Misbalance CERN – other research activities No stable funding for the collaboration and lack of resources for the visits and stay at CERN Still important brain-drain Internal tension within the national scientific communities: often small teams are spread over the whole programme and have less visibility

  12. However: Real improvement : Romania, Serbia, Croatia Strong young generation (I/3 below 35 year old) Good progress for finding solutions for a further participation in the LHC physics programme
