  5. Organization chart • All the positions are now covered but not for the upgrade • I’m glad to have many phd student and post-doc in the LV3 • 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 Phd and post-doc. 3 of them are already in the DPG chart. 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  6. 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 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 2011 Agenda • General Meeting: Thursday at 9:30 (1 per 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

  15. 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 1th RPC General Meeting - Pigi Paolucci
