  1. The LHC Machine and Experiments Gigi Rolandi – CERN PH Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  2. The LHC machine First full LHC cell (~ 120 m long) : 6 dipoles + 4 quadrupoles; successful tests at nominal current (12 kA) 8.4 Tesla Gigi Rolandi - CERN More than half of the 1232 dipoles are produced

  3. Lowering of the first dipole into the tunnel (March 2005) The magnet production proceeds very well and is on schedule, also the quality of the magnets is very good Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  4. 28th June: 49 dipoles installed Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  5. LHC construction and installation Cryogenics (QRL) in the tunnel Interconnection of the dipoles On the critical path for the first collisions, is the installation of the LHC in the tunnel, in particular due to delays in the cryogenic services lines (QRL) which initially had problems, and for which a recovery plan was implemented successfully Dipole installation in the tunnel Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  6. LHC installation and hardware commissioning plan Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  7. QRL installation is now proceeding smoothly. • The main remaining problem is the fast ramp up of production of service modules to feed the installation sites at the speed required. • Machine installation has started. • Hardware commissioning finished by end June 2007. Ready for beam. Lyn Evans’ conclusions from the his presentation at the last RRB on the LHC status (end April 2005) Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  21. CMS Heavy Lowering Heavy lowering will start in Mar 2006, after magnet test 15 heavy lifts of about 1 week duration each. Heaviest piece (central wheel + solenoid) 2000 tonnes. Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  22. CMS Barrel Muon Spectrometer 70% of DT chambers assembled, 15% installed Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  23. CMS Endcap Muon Spectrometer All 400 chambers produced ! CSC installation 60% CSCs installed, 50% commissioned with cosmic rays Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  24. CMS Tracker TIB Shells Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  25. CMS Commissioning • Now :detectors being commissioned with cosmic rays also in large chunks, addressing system issues. • Q1 06, cosmic challenge: slice test of CMS during the Magnet Test • Test with cosmic rays will continue in the pit after installation and re-cabling • Pilot run:Assume that we get a reasonable amount of collision data which are completed by Beam Gas/Beam Halo Muon datasets • LVL1/HLT/DAQ: Timing-in, data coherence, sub-system synchronization, calibration, debug algorithms, … • ECAL and HCAL calibration :Intercalibrate barrel crystals - “Phi Symmetry Method” ~2% and Cross check and complete source calibration for HCAL channels ~2% • Tracker and Muon alignment : Align the tracker strip detector significantly below the 100 mm level, Align the muon chambers at the 100 mm level Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  26. CMS Status • Civil Engineering is off the Critical Path • Magnet: Coil connected. Start swivelling preparations in June 2005. Q1-06 end magnet test and cosmic challenge & start heavy lowering April 06 • HCAL, Muons : construction on schedule and well advanced. • TO WATCH: • ECAL: Crystals production, new contracts signed with two vendors. • TRACKER: Hybrid production and tracker integration at CERN. *ECAL endcaps and pixels (even though ready) will be installed during winter 2007 shutdown in time for physics run in 2008. Initial CMS* detector will be ready and closed for beam on 30 June 2007. Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  27. TOTEM • beta* = 1540 m, 43 bunches, low emittance • Plus large t elastic scattering at 18 m • 3 x 1-day runs at 1540 plus 2 short runs at 18 m • Roman Pots at 10 , high beam stability, low BGs Requires special machine conditions– similar to polarization at LEP. The difficulty and challenge of TOTEM operation is coming from the requested precision for both optics & beams. Roman Pots at ~10 imply : collimators must be set to 6/7 s. e* ~ 1 mm, ~ 4 times smaller than nominal :  collimator gaps  1 mm

  32. ATLAS combined test beam in 2004 Geant4 simulation of test-beam set-up y x z Towards the complete experiment: ATLAS Full “vertical slice” of ATLAS tested on CERN H8 beam line May-November 2004 For the first time, all ATLAS sub-detectors integrated and run together with common DAQ, “final” electronics, DCS, etc. Gained lot of global operation experience during ~ 6 month run. Common ATLAS software used to analyze the data Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  33. ATLAS Commissioning • Commissioning with physics data proceeds in four phases: • Phase 3:Cosmics running  initial physics alignment / calibration of the detector  debugging of sub-systems, mapping dead channels etc. • Phase 4:One beam in the machine  beam-halo muons and beam-gas events  more detailed alignment / calibration etc. • Phase 5 :First pp collisions : prepare the trigger and the detector • tune trigger menus / measure efficiencies • begin to measure reconstruction efficiencies, fake rates, energy scales, resolutions etc. • Phase 6:Commissioning of physics channels • Improve measurements • begin to understand backgrounds to discovery channels … Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  34. ATLAS Commissioning – cosmic rays First Cosmic ray observed by ATLAS Hadron Tilecal calorimeter in the pit on June 20th • One track reconstructed in Muon chambers • Two tracks reconstructed in Inner Detector • Will happen every ~ 10 s Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  35. ATLAS Status • Component construction is (almost) complete for several sub-systems, The completion of the Inner detector is proceeding with very tight planning. • emphasis has shifted to integration, installation and commissioning • Large-scale surface system tests, in particular the combined test beam runs, have been a very major activity in 2004 • There is very good progress of the schedule-critical magnet assembly, and on the general installation status and activities in the cavern • The commissioning has started: organization, planning, activities Atlas is on Track for collisions in summer 2007 and physics still in 2007 Gigi Rolandi - CERN

  36. CONCLUSIONS • Laboratory fully committed to the LHC project • Machine : past year achievements have been impressive giving robustness to the schedule • Main objective remains to complete LHC installation towards end of 2006 and to get first beams by summer 2007 • Experiments : generally on track for ready for beam in middle 2007. Emphasis now on commissioning and preparation for pilot run. Gigi Rolandi - CERN
