LVL1 System • System is fully installed • Still large programme of work to be done to commission it with beam • Much work done with cosmic rays, test pulses, etc • Already made good start with single beam, starting on 10th September • Some aspects of commissioning can only be done with collision data • E.g. detailed time alignment of barrel muon trigger Beam pickups Minimum-bias (MBTS) LUCID, BCM, etc CERN-RRB-2008-083

13. Timing-in the trigger 10 September • Experiment timing currently based on beam-pickup (“BPTX”) reference • First task of LVL1 central trigger team on 10th September was to commission the beam pickups • Times of arrival of other triggers are being adjusted to match • Plots show evolution from 10 to 12 September • Timing-in for down-stream side for single beam to have similar timing to collisions • Each LVL1 sub-system also needs to be timed in internally • L1-calo, L1-RPC, L1-TGC, MBTS, etc 12 September (note different scale, also RPC not adjusted) Note change of scale!

23. Operation Task sharing is being put in place A reminder of the framework: The operation of the ATLAS experiment, spanning from detector operation to computing and data preparation, will require a very large effort across the full Collaboration (initially estimated at ~600 FTE effort per year, of which some 60% require presence at CERN) The framework that has been approved by the Collaboration Board in February 2007 aiming at a fair sharing of these duty tasks (‘Operation Tasks’, OTs) is now being implemented and the systems and activity areas are using a dedicated Web tool for the planning and documentation The main elements are: - OTs needs and accounting are reviewed and updated annually - OTs are defined under the auspices of the sub-system and activity managements - Allocations are made in two steps, expert tasks first, and then non-expert tasks - The ‘fair share’ is proportional to the number of ATLAS authors (per Institution or Country) - Students are ‘favoured’ by a weight factor 0.75 - New Institutions will have to contribute more in the first two years (weight factors 1.5 and 1.25) Note that physics analysis tasks, and other privileged tasks, are not OTs, of course CERN-RRB-2008-083

24. Fractional contributions of all Funding Agencies as compared to expectation (ideally should peak around 1.0) • Early experiences: • Works well for shift planning – • but some improvements needed • for 2009 • Need to discuss/learn detailed • assessment for all other tasks • There are many tasks on the borderline between of duties and physics Note that the example plots are based on still incomplete data FTEs per month entered in the OT data base as a function of the month CERN-RRB-2008-083

25. ATLAS organization to steer R&D for upgrades (recalling from earlier RRBs) ATLAS has, in place and operational, a structure to steer its planning for future upgrades, in particular for R&D activities needed for possible luminosity upgrades of the LHC (‘sLHC’) This is already a rather large and broad activity… The main goals are to - Develop a realistic and coherent upgrade plan addressing the physics potential - Retain detector experts in ATLAS with challenging developments besides detector commissioning and running - Cover also less attractive (but essential) aspects right from the beginning The organization has two major coordination bodies Upgrade Steering Group (USG) (With representatives from systems, software, physics, and relevant Technical Coordination areas) Project Office (UPO) (Fully embedded within the Technical Coordination) Upgrade R&D proposals are reviewed and handled in a transparent way within the Collaboration There is a good and constructive synergy from common activities with CMS where appropriate Detailed organization charts are given in the Appendix of the slides CERN-RRB-2008-083

26. Anticipated Peak and Integrated Luminosity • LHC, ATLAS and CMS have agreed to use this as a basis for planning as discussed at a LHCC meeting 1 July 2008 • Sets the conditions and timescale • Phase 1 starts with 6 – 8 month shutdown end 2012 • Peak luminosity 3 x 10-34 cm-2 s-1 at end of phase 1 • Phase 2 will start with an 18 month shutdown at end of 2016 • Peak 10 x 10-34 cm-2 s-1 in phase 2 • 3000 fb-1 integrated luminosity lifetime of detectors minimum in phase 2 Note that this was of course before the LHC incident, consequences have not yet been discussed CERN-RRB-2008-083

29. At this stage the upgrade work and planning have grown already to a substantial activity in the Collaboration Major workshops, two recent examples: - 4th Tracker upgrade workshop at Nikhef 5-7 Nov, more than 150 participants - Joint LAr – Tile – Level1 calorimeter workshop 13-14 November - Two global upgrade weeks are planned for 2009 for converging to an ATLAS sLHCLoI Many ATLAS upgrade R&D projects are underway, within the internal review framework already mentioned before: - 15 approved projects - 4 in the process of evaluation - 11 at the stage of submitted Expressions of Interests - 1 not approved (not relevant for ATLAS) ATLAS is glad that the LHCC has also taken ‘on-board’ the task to overview sLHC activities, in order to foster a coherent planning for machine and experiments One issue to be addressed very soon is a dedicated budget line for upgrade R&D steering, and preparing centrally for the upgrade design A list of these ATLAS upgrade R&D projects is given in the Appendix of the slides CERN-RRB-2008-083

30. Collaboration composition Since the RRB in April 2008 there were three formal admissions of new Institutions in the Collaboration, following the standard procedures defined in the initial Construction MoU The Collaboration Board welcomed with unanimous votes in its July 2008 meeting the Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg, Germany (Muon software, computing, sLHC R&D, outreach) Palacký University in Olomouc, Czech Republic (Fibre tracking in the forward Roman Pots) University of Texas at Dallas, U.S.A. (Pixels, computing) In all three cases people have already been involved in ATLAS activities for a few years The RRB is now invited to formally endorse these new collaborating Institutions CERN-RRB-2008-083

34. Updated Financial Overview Financial framework Initial Construction MoU 1995 475 MCHF Updated construction baseline 468.4 MCHF Additional Cost to Completion (accepted in RRB October 2002) 68.2 MCHF based on the Completion Plan (CERN-RRB-2002-114) Additional CtC identified in 2006 and detailed in CERN-RRB-2006-069) 4.4 MCHF Total costs for the initial detector 541.1 MCHF Missing funding at this stage for the initial detector: Baseline Construction MoU, mainly Common Fund 7.2 MCHF (of which 4.0 MCHF are in progress of being paid, and 3.2 MCHF remain at risk) 2002 Cost to Completion (CC and C&I) calculated shares 9.2 MCHF (of which 2.8 MCHF are in progress of being paid, and assuming that the U.S. will provide their remaining 4.5 MCHF on a best effort basis, 1.9 MCHF remain at risk) Note for planning purposes that the following items are not included: - There occurred almost 2 MCHF additional manpower costs because of the delays in the LHC start-up; as already mentioned previously, these were partially covered elsewhere, not all CtC against HLT deferrals - No provisions against future ‘force majeure’ costs - Re-scoping of the design-luminosity detector, estimated material costs of parts not included in present initial detector (CERN-RRB-2002-114) 20 MCHF - Forward detectors parts (luminosity) not fully funded yet 1.5 MCHF ATLAS gratefully appreciates that CERN has already secured its contribution to re-scope the detector for its TDR design-luminosity capabilities in the coming 2 years

35. Cost to Completion, and initial staged detector configuration As a reminder from previous RRB meetings: The Cost to Completion (CtC) is defined as the sum of Commissioning and Integration (C&I) pre-operation costs plus the Construction Completion (CC) cost in addition to the deliverables The following framework was accepted at the October 2002 RRB (ATLAS Completion Plan, CERN-RRB-2002-114rev.): CtC 68.2 MCHF (sum of CC = 47.3 MCHF and C&I = 20.9 MCHF) Commitments from Funding Agencies for fresh resources (category 1) 46.5 MCHF Further prospects, but without commitments at this stage (category 2) 13.6 MCHF The missing resources, 21.7 MCHF, have to be covered by redirecting resources from staging and deferrals The funding situation will be reviewed regularly at each RRB, and is expected to evolve as soon as further resources commitments will become available The physics impact of the staging and deferrals wasdiscussed in detail with the LHCC It was clearly understood that the full potential of the ATLAS detector will need to be restored for the high luminosity running, which is expected to start only very few years after turn-on of the LHC, and to last for at least a decade CERN-RRB-2008-083

36. Cost to Completion Funding (kCHF) (Status CERN-RRB-2008-082 31st October 2008) All CtC contributions as requested in 2002 are needed to complete the payments for the initial detector configuration (And in that case ATLAS will also manage to cover the CtC – 2 reported in 2006 thanks to the larger share contributed by CERN)

(Tevatron reach typically 400 GeV) CERN-RRB-2008-083

41. Conclusions The project proceeded within the framework of the accepted 2002 Completion Plan All the resources requested in that framework are needed to cover the costs of the initial detector now installed (this will also cover the additional CtC costs as reported in 2006) The experiment (detector hardware, trigger and DAQ, data distribution for distributed analyses, data preparation which includes quality monitoring, calibrations and alignments …) was ready for the LHC start-up in September With the first LHC beam-induced events, and the long cosmic ray data taking period, ATLAS has demonstrated readiness for exploiting the LHC data The worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is the essential backbone for the ATLAS distributed computing resources needed for the Analysis Model ATLAS is on track for the eagerly awaited LHC physics (ATLAS expects to remain at the energy frontier of HEP for the next 10 -15 years, and the Collaboration has set in place a coherent organization to evaluate and plan for upgrades in order to exploit future LHC machine high-luminosity upgrades) CERN-RRB-2008-083
