  8. Subdetectors commissioning: VELO • Main issue is the space alignment (at micron level) • first detector standalone alignment performed with a test beam on 10 modules to test also the software for real tracks alignment (based on millipede) • Measured resolution: • r: 9 – 25 mm • f: 9 - 20 mm • Will improve further taking into account X-talk • First measurements done exploiting particles from LHC injection tests confirms results, precise alignment will be performed as soon as more tracks are available • 99.2% operational and ready for beam • New test beam @ FNAL is forseen to better understand radiation effects on sensors and a possible high luminosity upgrade mm DX z (mm) mm DY z (mm) First alignment measurements for VELO right half for two sets of data (tracks on VELO from injection tests) W. Baldini, INFN-Ferrara

  11. before heating after heating Sub detector commissioning: Outer Tracker • The detector is operational at 95% • First approx. time and spatial alignment ongoing with cosmics (no drift time) • Loss of efficiency in some modules was observed after moderate irradiation, due to Araldite outgassing (not an aging problem). • The Problem has been extensively studied, various beneficial effects found: • heating • Adding in the mixture small amount of (N02) • HV training • Re-test and recovery of bad modules under way OT- alignment with cosmics Dx OT hitmaps W.

The light level over the whole surface is ~100 pe per event. Subdetectors commissioning:RICH system • For the moment filled with C02 , change to right gases for first collisions • At present the detector is fine apart from a vacuum leak in some HPDs (42/484, 20 already replaced) • Magnetic calibration of HPDs is ongoing, photodetector plane resolution better that a mm W.

  19. LHCb Global Commissioning Global commissioning is ongoing since few months. Subdetectors joined the global commissioning phase as soon as ready… exploiting cosmics for the large area detectors (OT, Muon, Calorimeters) and particles from LHC when available (beam gas interactions, injection test particles….) W. Baldini, INFN-Ferrara

  20. Global commissioning:Time Alignment Calo time distributions • rough time alignment Calo-Muon is ongoing with cosmics and particles from injection tests • Dedicated trigger for cosmics (SPD multiplicity and muon M3 with wide time window) • Muon and Calorimeter are aligned within 1 bunch crossing (~16 ns) • For precise time alignment we have to wait for first collisions (take into account correct TOF from IP) Muon time distributions Muon Calo W. Baldini, INFN-Ferrara Muon-Calo time distributions

  24. A possible Running Scenario… • LHC plans will be more clear in the next weeks…. • 2008 possible scenarios: • 2 months shutdown + some beam (december??) • No beam during 2008 • Start as soon as area is accessible M1 installation and some subdetectors intervention… • End 2008 beginning 2009: first collisions @ L ≈ 1031 cm-2s-1 • Precise time / spatial alignments • calibration of the apparatus and efficiency calculation (e.g unbiased samples of Ks and L from min. bias and J/y → mm with trigger on one hight pt muon ) • 2009: data taking @ L ≈ 2 x 1031 cm-2s-1 , first results on CP violation and rare decays (Bs→ J/ψf , mm ) • 2010 expected ≈ 2 fb-1 per year, full physics program. Expected about 10 fb-1 by 2013. • 2013 LHCb upgrade….? W. Baldini, INFN-Ferrara

  25. Conclusions • The LHCb detector is in rather good shape • Subdetectors have been commissioned and are working at ≈ 95% level, few issue to be solved but no major problems • Given the last LHC events we will probably continue in the next weeks to improve as much as possible the performances of the detector to be in excellent shape for the first collisions….
