Solved with new production. Integration schedule tight, but speed is now higher than planned. Barrel: SCT and TRT barrel integrated in SR1. Tested with cosmics (no x-talk observed). Installed in the pit. Weighing demonstrates good understanding of material. EC: SCT ECC has been integrated very recently with TRT ECC after all tests were done on sub-assemblies. SCT ECA is dressing its thermal enclosures and will be ready for integration with TRT by mid November. The schedule is driven by SCT ECA. The schedule for the Inner Detector remains very tight, without any float left (critical path: Installation and sign-off in the pit) Barrel TRT TRT+SCT barrel completed in SR1 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October ID TRT + SCT barrel tested in SR1 One-eighth of the TRT and one-quarter of the SCT were equipped with complete readout chains Dead channels: 0.2% SCT, 1.5% TRT Noise level as for the individual parts and below specs (e.g. SCT random noise prob. is , spec = ) No cross talk measured (many trials done) cosmics trigger taken TRT %noise occupancy before-after insertion Side view of a cosmic track trough TRT and SCT, noise is small RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October ID barrel travels to the pit, 24 th Aug 2006 Through the parking area A tight fit between BT and EC Calorimeter From the trolley to the support railsInside cryostat RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October ID End-Caps TRT + SCT integration of EC-C was done end of September, the A side will follow in November SCT ECC, in front of its outer thermal enclosure EC-C integration TRT + SCT RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October All modules have been delivered with good yield Both EC have been integrated, delivered to CERN and acceptance-tested One EC will now go through cosmics tests Barrel stave production did finish mid September (including corrosion leak repairs) Layer-2 has been fully integrated, the two Layer-1 half-shells are finished, and about 1/3 of the B-layer bi-staves assembled The best staves (least dead channels, best thermal performance) are reserved for the b-layer A new potential issue under investigation are failing opto-boards (integrated in service panels) Pixel ECC at CERN, 3 disks visible Pixels RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Pixel Layer-2 half shell Pixel Layer2, once clamped, outside Pixel Layer2, once clamped, inside Ready for installation date is 1 st April 2007 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October LAr and Tile Calorimeters Tile barrelTile extended barrel LAr forward calorimeter (FCAL) LAr hadronic end-cap (HEC) LAr EM end-cap (EMEC) LAr EM barrel RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Calorimeter barrel after its move into the center of the detector (4 th November 2005) Barrel LAr and Tile Calorimeters The barrel calorimeters are in their final position at the centre of the detector since November 2005 The final cool-down of the LAr cryostat took place over April and May 2006 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October LAr barrel history over the past months June: Barrel filled with LAr Tried burning of a few shorts in the barrel calorimeter in some modules Results positive on Presampler, essentially no difference on Calorimeter July: Decide to empty / refill by condensation Refilling operation took 20 days HV status (at an early stage of commissioning) 1600 V on Calorimeter, 2000 V on Presampler, leaving out known problematic channels: Status on Calorimeter: 2 sectors HV shorts, 10 sectors working with half of the signal, out of 448 independent sectors Status on presampler: 7 problems, will try to burn them Problematic channels: will be dealt with separately Plans: Leave calorimeter off when not needed, put 1600 V on 6 8 modules needed for cosmics running Stable pressure in expansion vessel Impurity level: Measured with four purity cells: ( ) ppm O 2 Temperature stability: Tmin = 88.2 K Tmax = 88.6 K Detector sub-cooled between 5.8 K and 8.6 K RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October End-Cap LAr and Tile Calorimeters The end-cap calorimeters on side C were assembled in the cavern by end of January 2006, and then the end-cap on side A followed in May 2006 Main LAr activities and plans for the end-caps EC-A: - Since August installation of FE electronics (no LVPS yet) - November 2006 start cool down - February 2007 start cold operation EC-C: - Since April installation of FE electronics, then switched to EC-A - February 2007 start cool down - April 2007 start cold operation Completed end-cap calorimeter side C, just before insertion into the detector RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Calorimeter electronics The installation of the LAr Front End (FE) electronics on the detector, as well as of the Back End (BE) read-out electronics in the control room, is proceeding to plans (all production is very close to be finished) A major concern are still the in-time availability, and the reliability of the low and (to a lesser extent) the high voltage LAr power supplies For the Tile Calorimeter, a control problem for the low voltage supplies has been understood, and a corrective action is being implemented (but impact commissioning) Both addressed in detail with the LHCC referees LAr barrel ROD system in USA15 LAr FE crate RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Detailed commissioning work has started some examples Muons in cosmics Noise studies day to day work to track coherent noise Calibration pulse studies % amplitude stability over one month No increase of coherent noise when solenoid field is on S/B =11 First high energy ionization signal RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Correlation between LAr Middle & Front layer Event display from the first LAr + Tile Calorimeter barrel cosmics run RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Muon Spectrometer Instrumentation Precision chambers: - MDTs in the barrel and end-caps - CSCs at large rapidity for the innermost end-cap stations Trigger chambers: - RPCs in the barrel - TGCs in the end-caps The Muon Spectrometer is instrumented with precision chambers and fast trigger chambers A crucial component to reach the required accuracy is the sophisticated alignment measurement and monitoring system At the end of February 2006 the huge and long effort of series chamber production in many sites was completed for all chamber types RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Extrapolation assumes 3.7 chambers per day. The main problem has been access and crane availability, more than chamber availability or the actual installation of the chambers on the rails Lots of detailed small problems need to be solved inside the detector when moving the chambers to their final positions: services out of envelope, poor access, scaffolding in front of the chambers, etc. Barrel Muon Chamber installation: Almost 80 % installed today RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October August 2006 saw the first combined MDT + RPC + Tile Calorimeter cosmic ray muon run RPC trigger on sector-13 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Assembly of End-Cap Big Wheel sectors in Hall 180 Assembly progress in 2006: Sectors for TGC-1-C: completed by April 7 (~10 days/sector in 2006) Sectors for MDT-C: completed by May 23 (~12 days/sector in 2006) Sectors for TGC-2-C: completed between May 1 and Aug 29 (7 days/sector over most of the assembly period) Sectors for MDT-A finished within few weeks, TGC-3-C well advanced There are in total for both sides 6 TGC and 2 MDT Big Wheels, requiring 72 TGC and 32 MDT sectors RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October First TGC Big-Wheel assembled in the cavern early September 2006 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October SDX1 USA15 UX15 ATLAS Trigger / DAQ Data Flow ATLAS detector Read- Out Drivers ( RODs ) First- level trigger Read-Out Subsystems ( ROSs ) UX15 USA15 Dedicated links Timing Trigger Control (TTC) 1600 Read- Out Links Gigabit Ethernet RoI Builder pROS Regions Of Interest VME ~150 PCs Data of events accepted by first-level trigger Event data requests Delete commands Requested event data stores LVL2 output Event data 100 kHz, 1600 fragments of ~ 1 kByte each Second- level trigger LVL2 Super- visor SDX1 CERN computer centre DataFlow Manager Event Filter (EF) pROS ~ 500~1600 stores LVL2 output dual-CPU nodes ~100~30 Network switches Event data pulled: partial 100 kHz, full ~ 3 kHz Event rate ~ 200 Hz Data storage Local Storage SubFarm Outputs (SFOs) LVL2 farm Network switches Event Builder SubFarm Inputs (SFIs) RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Level-1 The level-1 system (calorimeter, muon and central trigger logics) is in the production and installation phases for both the hardware and software The muon trigger sub-system faces a very tight schedule for the on-chamber components as reported before, but is proceeding satisfactorily RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Tile calorimeter test-pulse signal recorded through LVL1 Pre-processor LVL1 calorimeter trigger Installation in the underground counting room is in progress Cabling, patch panels, tests with test- pulse signals from calorimeters, etc. Also integration with DAQ, HLT and LVL1 CTP Full-crate tests of pre-production modules are almost completed Preprocessor & ROD modules are the most schedule-critical items Most modules now in production Pre-Processor 1/8 Cluster Processor 1/4 Analogue signal cables in USA15 RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Barrel Trigger Sector 13: Extrapolation of RPC cosmic-ray tracks to ground level ATLAS shafts TGC detectors with on-detector trigger electronics in cavern Trigger rate ~60 Hz consistent with simulation of cosmic rays in corresponding configuration LVL1 muon trigger RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October HLT/DAQ/DCS The High Level Trigger (HLT), Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Detector Control System (DCS) activities have continued to proceed according to plans Large scale system tests, involving up to 800 nodes, have further demonstrated the required system performance and scalability Scalability is particularly important for staging needs during the initial running of ATLAS A major emphasis was put on all aspects of the HLT and DAQ software developments Components of the DCS are in fabrication or already finished (ELMB), and are already widely used, and the s/w components are available The DCS is one of the first systems already in operation at Pit-1 Example of performance optimization RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB Installation & commissioning -

RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Status of the Cost to Completion funding (CERN-RRB ) RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Financial Overview Financial framework Initial Construction MoU MCHF Updated construction baseline MCHF Additional Cost to Completion (accepted in RRB October 2002) 68.2 MCHF based on the Completion Plan (CERN-RRB ) Additional CtC identified (mentioned at the last RRB, and now announced in CERN-RRB ) 4.4 MCHF Total costs for the initial detector541.1 MCHF Note that not included are: - This assumes beam pipe closure end August 2007, later dates would imply additional manpower costs of kCHF per month - No provision for future force majeure cost overruns - Restoration of the design-luminosity detector, estimated material costs of parts not included in present initial detector (CERN-RRB ) 20 MCHF - Forward detectors parts (luminosity) not funded yet 1 MCHF Missing funding at this stage Baseline Construction MoU, mainly Common Fund 9 MCHF 2002 Cost to Completion (CC and C&I) calculated shares 11 MCHF Not established funding mechanism yet for the new CtC MCHF (proposed at this RRB to be covered by the + 5 MCHF CERN CtC pledged in 2002, or by extending ATLAS member fee by 2 more years) RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October Conclusions The ATLAS project is proceeding within the framework of the accepted 2002 Completion Plan, and all the resources requested in that framework are needed now to complete the initial detector Many important milestones have been passed in the construction, pre-assembly, integration and installation of the ATLAS detector components The most critical construction issue is the delay in the ECT integration (as will be presented by Marzio Nessi), which has an impact on the overall installation completion (other issues remain the schedules for the ID and Muon end-cap chamber installations, and the calorimeter power supplies) Very major software, computing and physics preparation activities are underway as well, using the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) for distributed computing resources Commissioning and planning for the early physics phases have started strongly ATLAS is highly motivated, and on track, for first collisions in 2007 and finally LHC physics in 2008 (ATLAS expects to remain at the energy frontier of HEP for the next 10 15 years, and the Collaboration has already set in place a coherent organization to evaluate and plan for future upgrades in order to exploit future LHC machine high-luminosity upgrades) (Informal news on ATLAS is available in the ATLAS eNews letter at RRB ATLAS Progress Report, CERN-RRB rd October
