Introduction: Harvard ATLAS Group
John Huth
Outline
• Accelerator status and schedule
• Detector status and schedule
• Organization of Harvard ATLAS Group
An historic moment:Closure of the LHC beam pipe ringon 16th June (the last piece was the one shown here in ATLAS side A)
Magnet cooldown status11 Aug
Successful synchronization test of clockwise beamInjected for approx. 3 km
Aug. 8
Counter-clockwise beams scheduled for 22 Aug
Accelerator Commissioning
• Major milestones in ’08– 10 TeV, L = 1E28 to 1E31 est– Clockwise injection 8 Aug.– Counterclockwise injection 22 Aug.– Circulating beams 10 Sept.– Colliding beams 20 October– Run till mid-Dec– Guess of integrated luminosity 1 pb-1 to tape
Luminosity determination in early running
Ultimate accuracy estimated at 5%Source = W,Z cross sections
Initial determination from beam parametersVan der Meer scansInstantaneous tracking in LUCID detectors (forwardCerenkov detectors)Estimate accuracy 15-20%
ATLAS Detector
Overall Status
• Magnets working, functional to full field
• Minor issues being worked on, solved– Shielding of LAr power supplies– Magnetic field mapping– Inner detector cooling– Trigger readout and timing
• Should be ready with a functional detector for first collisions
Harvard ATLAS History
• Joined 1995– Responsible for MDT (Monitored Drift Tube) electronics design,
production– Chamber construction site for endcap muon system– Development of computing model for LHC (Grids)
• More recently– Muon subsystem installation, commissioning, operations,
reconstruction– Physics simulation– Trigger development – Magnetic field mapping– Local computing cluster– Tier 2 facility (w/ BU)
ATLAS Muon Subsystem
Personnel
• Faculty/Scientists– George Brandenburg (retired, consulting)– Melissa Franklin (transitioning from CDF)– Joao Guimaraes da Costa– John Huth– Masahiro Morii (transitioning from BaBar)
• Postdoctoral scientists– Alberto Belloni– Kevin Black– Corinne Mills– Shulamit Moed
Personnel (con’t)• Graduate students
– Lashkar Kashif (Zpt distribution)– Verena Martinez Outschoorn– Srivas Prasad– Ben Smith– Michael Kagan– Laura Jeanty– Chin Lin Wong– Giovanni Zevi Della Porta
• Technical support– John Oliver (EE)– Sarah Harder (Tech)– Ned Henry (Tech)– Suvendra Dutta (sys-admin)– Steve Sansone (Tech)
ATLAS Positions
• Kevin Black – Convener of inclusive lepton subgroup, Muon Commissioning Software Coordinator
• Alberto Belloni – Muon DAQ Coordinator
• Joao Guimares – Muon Management Group
Planned Activities in 09
• Muon subsystem commissioning and operations• Muon DAQ and online monitoring• Muon reconstruction software• Physics analysis (Z pt distribution, W’, Z’; top;
BSM), participation in “Full Dress Rehearsal” (FDR)
• Tier 2 Center w/ Boston U• Local computing cluster (4096 nodes, 1 PB disk)• High-level trigger core software• Magnetic field studies

• Approx 30 days of beam to establish first collisions
• Approx 2 months elapsed– Given optimistic machine
availability– Un-squeezed– Low intensity
• Continue commissioning thereafter– Increased intensity– Squeeze
