  9. Budgets • So far budgets have not been a problem • Even though we’ll finished negative this year • Still some spending for building renovation and refurbishment • Other large spending is for travels (including training and conference fees) • ~40% of the group exploitation • Do not forget to lock your mobile phone on Sunrise • Otherwise large roaming expenses ESE Group meeting

  10. MARS 2012 • Results reported by an email in June • I had no feedback. If this is useless tell me • Previous years we had an extra budget for advancements • Allowing to have a few more 3-step advancements • Not the case in 2012 • Still have the constraint of having 25% of the staff with 1 step • It basically forces the overall distribution ESE Group meeting

  11. Distributed Steps in ESE, PH and CERN wide ESE Group meeting

  12. Distributed Steps at CERN: LD vs IC ESE Group meeting

  13. Is there a gender discrimination? CERN wide and including non-eligible ESE Group meeting

  14. Seminars • Jorgen kindly proposed to continue organising the seminars • Enthusiastically agreed... • However Jorgen notices that this autumn a lot of agreed seminars have been either delayed or cancelled • Might be for very good reason but no so fair • Did not happen in the past ESE Group meeting

  15. End of 2012 Seminars ESE Group meeting

  16. Building Renovation • Thanks to Jorgen and Patrick for taking care of this work • There have been a lot of progress: • Labs equipped (electricity and air-conditioning) • Corridors in good shape • Toilettes available • Entrance almost finished (including “poster wall”) • Still some finalisation work to be done here and there • A few tiles of the false ceilings in the corridors to be replaced • Some painting work to be finished • Some remaining problems in the toilettes • Vitrine in the entrance hall to be installed  Exposition to be organised • Ventilation to be installed in this conference room, the cafeteria and 13-3-005 • Cold water connection in building 13 labs still to be finalised • When the work in the corridors is completed we’ll install the frames on the walls for decoration • Posters presented during conferences or workshop The rumors concerning the “Pirelli Calendar” are unfounded ESE Group meeting

  17. Renovation: Remaining serious problems • Basement of building 13 suffers flooding problems • Not clear when this will be solved • Might require the rain water coming from the roof of building 14 to be evacuated through other routes... • Storage of spare equipment for the experiments affected • The roof of building 14 is in very bad shape • Requires major repair and scaffolding installation • The blind/stores should be replaced • In case of small problems a ticket is to be done • To be done through Evelyne or Patrick to avoid chaos ESE Group meeting

  18. Renovation: End • Since years, Jorgen says we’ll have a big event when everything is finished • Hopefully this big event will happen in 2013 We can make it happen anyway... ESE Group meeting

  19. End-of-Year Celebrations • End-of-Year lunches or dinners per Section • You are still welcome to invite Evelyne and me* • Group Picnic in June • Venue propositions and volunteers for organisation are welcome *I pay my share ESE Group meeting

  20. Open Symposium on European Strategyfor Particle Physics • European Strategy Group to prepare a report for the March CERN Council meeting • Symposium organised as a first step to gather information/suggestions from the community • Krakow in September • About 170 papers submitted • Papers and link to the agenda available here:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=175067 • Mainly physics and future projects but detector technologies, electronics and instrumentation also discussed • Two papers about electronics originated from (former) members of PH-ESE ESE Group meeting

  21. Open Symposium on European Strategyfor Particle Physics • The latest discovery in ATLAS and CMS induced a lot of discussions on what is the best way of studying the Higgs and explore possible new physics • LHC has a bright future • Only ~1% of what can be accumulated over the next 15 years has been recorded so far • LHC-HL and LHC-HE • “Physics case” to be made • e+e- colliders of all sorts (circular or linear) • γγ and µ+µ- colliders • Japanese representatives announced Japan will make a proposal for building a linear collider (e+e-) of 250 GeV upgradable to 500 GeV • Schedule 2025 – 2030 for physics • Half financed by Japan (?) ESE Group meeting

  22. Open Symposium on European Strategyfor Particle Physics • For “Beyond Standard Model” theories, the importance of flavour physics ( LHCb, B, Charms and τ factories) has been emphasized • Heavy ions program to be actively pursued (ALICE, FAIR, ...) • Proton structure analysis (experiments on the SPS and LHeC proposal) • Wishes for an important neutrino program • New neutrino beam at CERN and OPERA to be moved from Gran Sasso to CERN • Long baseline neutrino beam with an experiment in Finland (deep underground) • Similar programs in US and Japan ESE Group meeting

  23. Open Symposium on European Strategyfor Particle Physics • The community is not missing ideas for new projects • Prioritisation and resources • New projects mean new accelerators, new detectors, new electronics and new computing facilities • Continuous and substantial R&D needed in these fields • Next steps • Working groups to produce reports on 5 fields* • European Strategy Group to prepare a draft of the strategy statements for the March Council • Final step in May (special meeting in Brussels) *Working mode of the CERN Council for the European Strategy matters Framework for European participation to a global project CERN relations with the European and International bodies Knowledge Transfer and industrial relations Education, outreach and communication ESE Group meeting

  24. LHC Upgrades Schedule • First upgrades during LS1 • E.g. new muon chambers in CMS, additional pixel layer in ATLAS • Electronic systems (ATLAS CTP, CMS trigger) • LS1 upgrades approved • LS3major upgrades of ATLAS & CMS • New trackers • Most of the readout electronics to be renewed • LS3 upgrade program neither approved nor financed yet • Although the work has to start now • LS2major LHCb and ALICE upgrades • 40 MHz readout for LHCb • New ITS and upgrade of the readout for ALICE • LS2 upgrades in ATLAS and CMS • New detectors (e.g. muon chambers in ATLAS and CMS) • Electronic systems (e,g, ATLAS trigger) • LS2 upgrades approved ESE Group meeting

  25. Conclusions • 2012 has seen the discovery of the “Higgs-like” boson by ATLAS and CMS • All of us should take our share of this discovery • We all have worked in a way or another for the LHC program • Directly in an experiment or the machine • Providing common pieces of equipment • Providing support • For such a big enterprise all the bricks are important and a success is the success of all • Let’s hope that the future will be as bright • There are a number of possible projects in front of us in which we’ll be (we are) involved • As usual the strategic decisions (which project is to be done when and where) and the approval process is complex. • But we are used to that ESE Group meeting
