1 Isabel Trigger ACOT March 13 th, 2009 ATLAS at the LHC and at TRIUMF CANADAS NATIONAL LABORATORY FOR PARTICLE AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS Owned and operated as a joint venture by a consortium of Canadian universities via a contribution through the National Research Council Canada LABORATOIRE NATIONAL CANADIEN POUR LA RECHERCHE EN PHYSIQUE NUCLAIRE ET EN PHYSIQUE DES PARTICULES Proprit d'un consortium d'universits canadiennes, gr en co-entreprise partir d'une contribution administre par le Conseil national de recherches Canada Slide 2 2 Outline ATLAS and the LHC LHC status ATLAS detector status ATLAS computing status ATLAS at TRIUMF New hires and group evolution Tier 1 at TRIUMF Analysis Centre at TRIUMF 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 3 3 LHC Status September 10 th, 2008: Spectacular start to LHC running with beams Accomplished in few days program expected to take months September 19 th, 2008: Spectacular finish to LHC season Shutdown for repairs, cleaning, improvements to safety and machine protection (enhanced quench protection, n splice resistance detection, improved helium venting, better anchoring of magnets, ) Expect beam again by September 2009, running until autumn 2010 to collect 200 pb -1 at 5 TeV per beam. 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 4 4 LHC Repair Pictures 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Brace magnet anchors in cold sectors to limit damage in worst case Repair in sector 3-4 Slide 5 5 Beam 2008 - Chamonix Summary5 4/21/2015 Slide 6 6 ATLAS Detector 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 7 7 ATLAS status repairs and additions ATLAS complete and taking (mostly cosmic-ray) data since late Spring 2008 Shutdown is opportunity for repairs and additions: Repair liquid argon front-end readout boards, rad-tolerant low voltage power supplies Add Extended Endcap chambers to muon spectrometer (improves efficiency in barrel/endcap overlap region) Fix gas leaks in some muon chambers including TGCs damaged by overpressure, add more safety controls Rad-hard optical readout fibres on muon spectrometer Refurbish tile cal electronics Check inner detector cooling 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 8 8 ATLAS repairs and additions 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 9 9 ATLAS Detector: Cosmic Event 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Cosmic ray events are used for alignment Slide 10 10 ATLAS Progress cosmic rays and single beams 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT First collimator "splash" event seen by ATLAS: event 40050, run 87764. Collimator is 140m in front of ATLAS interaction point. Beam-1 enters ATLAS from the Airport side. Beam splash in collimators used to time in subdetectors one event worth months of cosmics or even days of collision data for this purpose Single beam data was extremely useful for timing in the whole detector Slide 11 11 ATLAS Progress cosmic rays and single beams 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT beam halo event 1450, run 87863 Tracking works, even sideways! Slide 12 12 ATLAS Progress cosmic rays and single beams Calorimeters do calibration / noise / ramp runs to check pedestals etc., prepare for running: Noise looks fine, HV fine 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 13 13 ATLAS Status 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Cosmics used for alignment, calibration, cabling checks, practice We will start taking cosmic data again in a few weeks, to gain experience running the detector. Slide 14 14 LHC Computing Grid Status Grid active despite lack of collision data Able to save some $ by delaying 2009 hardware purchases by 6 months MC production system works very well Data reprocessing exercised with cosmic ray data More user analysis jobs starting to run; also many analysis challenge tests BUT storage space is tight! 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 15 15 ATLAS group at TRIUMF New hires in past year: Anadi Canepa (at CERN for 2008-9) BAE Oliver Stelzer-Chilton BAE David Morrissey (starts by Sept. 09) BAE, Theory Dominique Fortin (RA) Ian Nugent (RA) 2 Theory RA hires in phenomenology Di Qing (Tier 1 Grid expert) New ATLAS hires mostly replacements; one new BAE position to support ATLAS Analysis Centre at TRIUMF Visitors: Rob McPherson, Dave Axen, Richard Keeler, Steve Godfrey, Margret Fincke, students Chris Oram away for 2009 2009/3/13I. Trigger - ATLAS - ACOT Slide 16 16 TRIUMF Groups Role in ATLAS New initiatives in 2009: Global online monitoring Remote LAr Monitoring attractor for Analysis Centre R. McPherson is LAr data quality coordinator Muon Spectrometer Inner Detector alignment Continue missing E T studies Tier 1 (one of 10 in the world for ATLAS): Continues to lead in efficiency; solid innovative team Second big hardware expansion in 2009 ATLAS-Canada executive: R. McPherson Spokesperson (IPP/UVic, based @ TRIUMF) P. Krieger Deputy Spokesperson (Toronto) M. Vetterli Computing Coordinator (TRIUMF/SFU) D. ONeil Physics Coordinator (SFU) 2009/3/13I.
