  1. RPC project status 1st RPC General Meeting 29 March 2011 Pigi Paolucci

  2. RPC General Meeting • RPC General Meeting will be held once per month, CMS week included. In total we have 12 GM per year • GM is for a large audience (not too technical talks) GM organization: • Introduction about the Project • Coordinator reports (TC-RC-DPG-Upgrade): • To give an overview to the collaboration • To focus our attention on “critical issues” • To underline priorities and manpower requests • To present interesting results • 2-3 specific talks will be proposed by coordinators. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  3. RPC project – new organization • Organization Chart has been defined and it will be endorsed today at IB. • Thanks to all the people involved in the discussion and to who will be part of the chart. • Management Board and IB will support all the people involved in the organization as much as they can. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  6. Conference and papers • RPC Editorial Board is now in charge for all the notes, conference notes/papers and papers • Only the approved papers will be considered RPC papers • Author list will be provided by the RPC Institution board to the editorial board. • RPC member can decide to sign or not every single paper. • RPC Conference Committee is in charge for the talk/poster proposal and to choose the nominated speakers. • RPC abstract sent directly to the conference will be “cancelled” by the CC. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  7. Organization chart • I’m glad to have many phd student and post-doc in the LV3 organization chart. • Most of them are in the DPG and are participating to the data analysis of the RPC and Trigger performances • Bari, Ghent, Korea,Sofia, Uniandes……. • Let me underline the perfect integration of the 6 Korean Phdand post-doc. 3 of them are already in the DPG chart. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  8. Main goals – 2011-2012 • Main scientific goals are: In priority order • High efficiency of the RPC data taking TC/RC • Assure an high quality of the data DPG/RC • Clear set of results (performance and studies) DPG • Build the RE4 upgrade system TC/Up • Enlarge the collaboration MB/IB • Manpower balance & budget consolidation MB/IB • but this is not enough for us and we have to do more and more to improve our project….(see next slide) 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  9. More goals…… • Study and underline all the aspects in which the RPC could play a central role in CMS: • Alternative reconstruction algorithms • Peculiar Trigger regions • How recover DT/CSC temporary inefficiency using RPC • More goals - we really need to work on: • New institutions and more young physicists • Help young people in maturating in the proper way • Move toward a “muon system” and “muon services” • Use the central CMS structures/group as much as we can 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  10. Possible strategies • New institutions can be attracted by the 2nd step of the upgrade (2017-2018) at high eta region. They should join RPC project previously to learn about CMS and the muon system. • How can we help young people in maturating: • Visibility and responsibilities • Work on different aspects of the project and not onlyone (detector, DAQ, trigger and data analysis) • Collaborate more and more with the CMS central projects • Conferences and papers • Work in group and not alone – be part of some task force 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  11. 2011-2012 data taking • It’s now time to work, we have 2 long years of data taking • Shifters and experts have a delicate role and we have to support them as much as we can: • Improve our tools and instructions • Organize training period for everybody • Support them during the “crucial” period • Operation Manager and Data Manager shifts are now counted as central shift. • Training period is mandatory to get the OM/DM driver license from the Run coordination. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  12. 2010 Data analysis • We already have a lot of data to analyze and to publish: • Muon performance paper is already under development: • Some results have been already approved (efficiency) • We have to understand better other sections (noise) • Editorial board it is now ready to work • Conference talks and posters have to be defined in advance (at leas 2-3 months) • Instrumentation Conferences are a very good training center for phd students and not only. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  13. Scientific results to underline • 2010 results: many already approved in March • Noise studies: linear dependence rate .vs. luminosity • FEB configuration: great improvements (Anton, Karol, Philip) • HV scan: great success of the RPC collaboration See next presentations 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  14. Steering Committee • Chairman: HafeezHoorani • Members: A. Colaleo, M. Maggi, A. Sharma, W. Van Doninck • The RPC management board will consult the SC to get help on very urgent and crucial tasks and to solve delicate scientific issues. • The experience of the 5 senior physicists members is a guarantee for the RPC project and will help us a lot in the future. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  15. HV scan – sociological exercise • Steering Committee was consulted to give us guidelines about the “calculation” of the high voltage working point of every single chamber. • The answer was fast, very professional and clear. Let me thanks a lot the committee. • Run and Technical coordination did a great job in organizing the data taking and in following it hour by hour (pressure correction, threshold setting….) • DPG team was able to provide results in real time (weekend) • Info and results circulated in the best way • A first exercise of cross-coordination and coherent work in the RPC project 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  16. HV scan results • Marcello, Cesare and Juan Pablo are now working and the data analysis in the DPG team. • Many chambers were already working in plateau during the 2010 data taking but not all (see Marcello talk) • 2011-2010 comparison • Working points • Cluster size check 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  17. Noise studies • Noise group (Silvia, Mihee and Mircho) is doing a great job and it was not so easy to clean the data in order to spot the linear increase 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  18. FEB configuration • There was a big effort to improve the FEB configuration in few weeks !! • Now parameters are automatically loaded by the database • The procedure is 5-6 times faster thanks to a firmware review • A WEB GUI allow us to write/read the configuration parameters (different views) HERE THE TEAM • Filip- main developer of the C++ part, • Karol - main developer of the Java part, also responsible for configurationDB • Anton - main tester of the product, main provider of ideas • Krzysztof - main developer of the Trigger Supervisor • SajjadAsghar- coordinator of the DB activities. • Imran and Atif- developers of the GUI. • Let me thanks Hafeez and the Pakistan database experts to join the group. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  19. 2010 results • Many results obtained by the DPG group have been approved by the RPC collaboration (efficiency, cluster size, spatial resolution, muography…) 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  20. 2011 Agenda • General Meeting: Thursday at 9:30 (1per month) • DPG/RC: Thursday at 9:30 (3 per month) • Tech coordination: Monday at 9:00 (weekly) • Upgrade: Tuesday at 9:00 (weekly) • Management: Wed at 10:00 (weekly) restricted • ISR meeting: Monday 14:00 (weekly) technical • 904 meeting: Wed 10:00 (weekly) technical • GEM meeting: Tuesday 14:00 (weekly) technical • Upgrade RE4 Workshop to be decided • Upgrade High Eta Workshop to be decided Let me ask the 4 coordinators and deputies to actively participate to the 3 weekly meetings. Unique project 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  21. Construction and docDB • I would like to remind you we have hired a DB expert (Daniela) to work for 3 months on the construction DB. • She is doing a very good job but is now stuck for lack of information and collaboration. • Question: if the construction DB is not on top of our list of priority I will close to task • Anton is supervising both the construction DB and docDB • RPC docDB is almost ready. We need to clean our twiki page • http://dev-cms.web.cern.ch/ 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  22. RPC “social” dinner tonight at 20:30 • La Villa du Lac – Divonne Les Bains • It is just in front le lake • Sorry but not more than the 34 people already registered • From Highway: • after the “douane” go straight • turn right at the second roundabout • After 400 meter there is a roundabout, go straight • The Hotel is on the left • From GEX: • Follow “highway to Geneve” indication. • Then indication to “promenade” or “Villa du Lac” 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  23. Conclusions • RPC project is in good shape • Two years of data taking + upgrade is not an easy job for a small collaboration. We are 80 people • Let me stress again that we have to improve and stabilize the present project and then eventually move manpower to the upgrade 2013-2014. Right now is still not the case !! • It is important to work in a coherent way as we did for the HV scan and FEB configuration • See you this evening  1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci
