LHC Schedule

• All the damaged magnets replaced• In order to prevent any further similar incident

precautionary hardware being installed at all magnets• This is a big job, in particular many thousand control

cards have to be fabricated, prototypes will be available in May

• Discussed in Chamonix meeting in February. Recommendations made to CERN council

• CERN council: First collisions in October 09, followed by extended run at 8-10 TeV, till 200 – 300 pb-1 per experiment is collected (~ 1 year).


LHC schedule …

• Note that above scenario is still a compromise between safety and need for quick physics

• Only half the machine will be FULLY protected during the first run starting October 2009

• Remaining half will be done during the long shutdown starting in end-2010

• This schedule also has implications for experiments: NO SHUTDOWN in end-2009. So, all hardware will remain as it is, no repair, no additional installation possible.

• Consequences for HO (Si-PM), RPC


Beam Conditions for Physics

• Conclusion 5 TeV/beam for Physics• Machine Protection will be Tested with beam (at 0.5TeV

energy levels)• 4 TeV “on the way” to 5TeV (limited in 2010)• Estimated integrated luminosity

• during first 100 days of operation.. ≈100pb-1» Peak L of 5.1031 η (overall) = 10% gives 0.5pb-1/day

» Peak L of 2.1032 η (overall) = 10% gives 2.0pb-1/day

• During next 100 days of operation.. ≈ 200pb-1?• Then towards end of year ions (to be planned in detail

soon)


• Gains 20 weeks of LHC physics (independent of “slip”)

Schedule with running in winter months


Statement on LHC Safety (1)Statement on LHC Safety (1)• Following the incident on 19 September the most crucial

improvement foreseen was a more precise system to monitor (and protect) anomalously high resistance in a joint (splice) near the magnets.

• The development of this new enhanced ohmic resistance measurement is well under way and the new system will be installed and tested before beam operation. This will allow effective protection against thermal runaway in the magnet and interconnect splices. There is still no way to protect against an “instantaneous” rupture of a bus bar splice.

• It has been shown by simulations that the new system with a threshold trigger of 0.3mV (compared with the 1V of the system in place on 19 September) will protect the joints form thermal runaway “in all imaginable conditions”. Note if this system had been in operation the September incident would not have taken place.

• In the Risk analysis, we have mitigated against the re-occurrence of a thermal runaway of a splice. The risk-score is the product of the probability of the event and the level of the resulting impact.


Statement on LHC Safety (2)Statement on LHC Safety (2)• For the September 19 incident, the high impact was caused by collateral

damage by:1. High pressure build up damaged the magnet interconnects and the super-insulation

2. Perforation of the beam tubes resulted in pollution of the vacuum system with soot from the vaporization and with debris from the super insulation.

• Until now and even after discussions in Chamonix there have not emerged any new ideas which would significantly reduce the pollution of the vacuum system in the event of a similar incident.

• However, measures will be taken to vent the Helium more rapidly and therefore reduce the pressure increase and consequently minimize (eliminate?) the damage done to interconnects and super-insulation.

• The already existing flanges in the Short straight sections (SSS) will be fitted with additional relief valves. Calculations have shown that this gives a factor of more than 9 with respect to the system existing on 19 September. These calculations show that the collateral damage (to the interconnects and super-insulation) which would be produced in a repeat incident of 19 September would be minor (significantly reduced). Such a repeat incident would not have a major impact on the spares situation for magnets . Whereas the collateral damage due to vacuum pollution would remain very similar to the September 19 incident.


Strawman Luminosity Profile

We (CMS) need to consider the impact of the long length of this run

(and prepare appropriate plans).

http://lhc-commissioning.web.cern.ch/lhc-commissioning/luminosity/09-10-lumi-estimate.htm

• *Switching to 50 ns bunch spacing could be attempted at this stage. With 5.1010 protons/bunch the integrated L could be as high as 110 pb-1/month.• Implies impeccable performance of the machine.


Status of India-CMS tasks

AG: Report to the Collaboration, India-CMS meeting, Delhi Univ, 27-28 March 2009T. VirdeeCERN/Imperial College

Details in Talks by Coordinators


Summary of HO commissioning (details from KS/SRD)

• HO is installed and commissioned • Known that HPDs have problems: for HO cross talk

(misalignment of electric and magnetic fields) as well as discharge.

• Overall plan to replace HPDs with Si-PM readout, for all HCAL. As problems for HO moving wheels (rings +-1,

+-2) are more severe, proposal to change soon.• As noted, no shutdown in end-2009, so earliest

replacement can take place in end-2010 shutdown.• This year placing two RBXs with Si-PM readout, one

each in ring 1 and 2, to study performance in real-life conditions.

• Also test beam in July 09 with Si-PM RMs


Brief Status of Interventions(report from TSV)

T. Virdee CMS Week Dec08 12

HCAL HB & HE : 19 out of 288 HPDs changed and tested. 11 due to high rate of discharges at B=0T and B=3.8T 5 due to gain loss or very low gain

3 Readout Modules (f.e. electronics) exchanged. Operating voltage for HB/HE lowered to <7kV>.

HCAL HO (W±1, W±2) replacement programme completed Operating voltage lowered to <6.5kV>. Aim to install 2 RBX’s with SiPMs (no discharging at all field values)


Si-PSD (BARC report)

• All sensors fabricated and module mounting done and shipped to CERN

• Installation of PSD within CMS detector was scheduled in February/March 2009

• Going on successfully

GRID Tier-2 Centre(details by KM)

• All hardware purchased and most is commissioned• All technical tests passed successfully.

• Recall that we have TIFR-CERN point-to-point link and in CMS computing model Taiwan is our Tier-1, NOT CERN.

• (Also working towards connecting this 1 Gbps link to the European GEANT network which will allow general internet access and not exclusively to CERN)

• After much delay (11 months) European Commission (via Dante) agreed to peering of our line to GEANT.

• Thus, we now have high speed connectivity to many Tier-1 centers and the requisite number of up- and down-links have been established to qualify as a regular CMS Tier-2.


RPC affairs• OLD:• Not only low η, but also high η RPCs have to be built as part of the

“endcap-RPC restoration” program for CMS. For high η the deadline is end-2010.

• It is now confirmed that India can expect to participate in the overall program and the real deadline for us is end-2010.

• DU withdrew from the India-CMS RPC project, leaving BARC and PU.

• NOW• Effect of delay in LHC: forwards RPCs expected to

be installed during 2012-13 long shutdown (not in 2010-11 shutdown). So time is very comfortable.

• Next slide: some (minor) problems to be sorted out.


Areas of Concern

T. Virdee LHCC Feb09 19

Not Major

Endcap RPCs: Some chambers, especially in RE-2, showed increasing leakage current – progress being made. Still collecting data. Soon determine strategy to follow.

AG later discussion with Archana, Jim Virdee: problem occurred inside CMS detector environment (temp? humidity?). Once outside (ISR hall) some seemed OK again. Being investigated. But new chamber production will starts only after this is understood.

Magnetic Field: fringe field, modeling and flux in return yoke

Forward Region: TOTEM, ZDC, CASTOR etc.

ECAL: Work ongoing to recover other Trigger Towers, Off-detector Electronics: EE_TCC48, ES_ DCC

Others: manpower, sustained operation, SLHC upgrades and the required facilities …- being dealt with – but more to do.

Endcap RPCs Current Increase


Endcap RPC’s Preliminary Conclusions

RE chambers show larger than expected sensitivity to temperature. Similar measurements on the way for barrel chambers.

Stability of cavern humidity and temperature should be achieved for a safe RPC running. An installation campaign of T and RH sensors (both environmental and gas) has been launched

Increase of current at P5 partially reproduced at ISR. Careful investigation to spot other causes

Final brainstorming expected middle March to revise the results and take action. A possible parallelization of the gas circuit will be discussed.

RPCs Noise Susceptibility

Spikes observed during CRAFT data taking. The chambers are susceptible to noise generated by the flickering of fluorescent and projector lamps in the cavern (with magnetic field on). Star washers on the chamber front panels and additional shielding appear to help. More work needed.

Reminder from Dec Week: InterventionsNB: the CMS detector was/is in good shape to have taken high quality collision data.

Maintenance is an ongoing process.

Areas of Intervention Under Discussion Tracker: Cooling system, Fpix. Review soon before proceeding. HCAL: a few HPDs in HB and HE. Several in HO (W±1, W±2). Muon DT/RB: ~ 10 chambers to be repaired, start & gain experience with YB0 +side and then proceed, the one that is most difficult. CSCs - repair ~10 chambers previously known to have faults but were inaccessible due to logistics of disks in 2008. Alignment Components: protect sensors/MABs, repair DCOPs,...

Endcap RPCs: Some chambers show increased leakage current - under investigation.

Work is going reasonably well. We are within a few days of the schedule defined in mid-Nov. Vigilance is paramount.

ComputingData collected in the CMS Global Runs, CRAFT were re-reconstructed twice with latest software and calibrations.

Large MC productions were completed(~500M FullSim/5 months + 350M FastSim, several CMSSW versions) Lessons learned: address the following - latencies of tails, request tracking, reporting, develop metrics, production tools, close holes in validation chain, QA

MC production continues (full- and fast simulation)

Improve and (make persistent) the CAF/Tier-0/Tier-1/Tier2 infrastructure

Better monitoring tools, commissioning policies, computing shifts…

ECoM (Evolution of the Computing Model) with Physics/Trigger/DPG reviewed case for higher trigger rate to mass storage – recommended to stay with the current 300 Hz

Resource requirements for 2009/10 are being re-evaluated based on new LHC schedule in CMS Computing Resources Board and WLCG-RRB.


Trigger Reviews• Starting point: CSA08 HLT Menu had over 160 paths

– Proof of principle that we can run with this many triggers• Established a set of core triggers & thresholds at 8E29,1E31:

– 8E29: collision menu for Day 1– 1E31: aimed for longer-term MC studies

• Reviewed justification of all other triggers wrt. this set of core triggers at 2 luminosities.– Individual reviews of JetMET, μ’s, eγ, cross-triggers, b-tag/tau/p-

flow, AlCa-MinBias-Commissioning triggers• Collaborative work between Physics & Trigger

Result: a new set of leaner menus with HLT, express stream & physics datasets defined.– Optimized thresholds & other cuts, rates, efficiency calculations,

backup triggers, monitoring samples, plans for evolution– Clear definition of maintenance and responsibilities

• Triggers will be deployed online for CRUZET/CRAFT

32T. Virdee CMS Week Mar09


Preparation for Physics Since December, the large data samples from CMSSW_2_1 were

completed. Arrival of 2_2 meant that the latest particle-flow code and objects were available for analysis.

Two Events of note Input to Chamonix meeting: CERN management requested expected

physics reach at different collision energies and integrated luminosities. Scaling the CMS results from 14 TeV to 10 and 6 TeV. Discussed in a Special CMS MB, Wed. Plenary and given to LHC Coordinator. Approved results available in Performance Note DP-09/001 for use in talks/seminars.

Chamonix deliberations quickly converged on a run at 10 TeV, through the winter of 2009-10 until we accumulate ~300pb-1

Mini-Review of Physics by the LHCC (see later)

A neologism: PAT-uple a selection of events made persistent at PAT-layer1 level - bridge between

the reconstruction-software domain and physics analysis the quality of our physics analyses will benefit from this concept - increase

of synergy and the possibility of independent cross checks a new tool in the hands of PAGs, to be used for the forthcoming LHC data!

Report from LHCC Referees (17 Feb Meeting)

Detector Construction, Maintenance and Repairs The referees congratulate CMS for their careful planning and impressive progress …. to produce a complete, reliable detector for the upcoming long 2009-10 run. Once again taking the long-term view has paid off for CMS, and should put the experiment in good stead for the unusually long and important 2009-10 run.….. the puzzling loss of flux in the return yoke - look forward to the answer at a future meeting.

PreshowerThe preshower detector was completed and comprehensively tested on the schedule presented in November. Bravo! TOTEM Issues (combined session with TOTEM and its LHCC referees) The referees identified several issues of concern that are now being worked out among CERN management, CMS, and TOTEM. The guiding principle established is that TOTEM elements must be subjected to the same standards and reviews as were CMS subsystems before they are allowed to be installed in CMS.



Report from LHCC on 17 Feb.Detector Performance, Computing and Physics CMS physics organization has provided outstanding leadership and planning, which has helped advance CMS to an unusually mature level of preparedness for physics. … efforts underway to improve reliability of T1 and T2 sites ……. great progress toward achieving TDR performance specifications……We support the approach of developing the PAT tools and a standard framework for CMS analyses. Experience at the TeVatron and the B Factories has shown that a common “language” like this has been of great benefit in producing physics results that can be easily understood, and rigorously evaluated within the collaboration. … We were impressed by the several analyses presented of simulated data, including measurements of top, searches for Higgs, exotics, SUSY, and the other “standard candles” …In this as in the other areas of preparation for beam and physics, CMS is in excellent shape.

Very encouraging report BUT we (CMS) should not get too carried away. These nice words will not mean much if we cannot rapidly produce good physics results when the real moment comes. We must maintain our focus and continue striving to do better.

Issues in this meeting

• To consider report of the committee’s recommendations regarding induction of new groups into India-CMS (and CMS).

• To consider the participation of India-CMS in the HO upgrade.• From July 08, expected that instead of India-Fund, India-CMS will

have to support per diems at CERN from budgets requested. It was agreed in an earlier Steering Committee meeting that an India-CMS committee be in place to consider all the requested deputations. Check with funding agencies also.

• Have been some suggestions again regarding written constitution for India-CMS. Can have a short discussion later and, if necessary, can constitute a committee to draw up a draft.

• Finally we are in 2008. And hope that beam-beam collisions will take place in LHC at full energy.
