*Acceptance ~ 2 times larger at Tevatron(physics is more central, less initial-state g radiation)

F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004
First goals ….
• Understand and calibrate detector and trigger in situ using well-known physics samples e.g. - Z → ee, µµ tracker, ECAL, Muon chambers calibration and alignment, etc.
- tt → blν bjj 104 evts/day after cuts jet scale from W jj, b-tag performance, etc.
• Understand basic SM physics at √s = 14 TeV first checks of Monte Carlos (hopefully well understood at Tevatron)
e.g. - measure cross-sections for e.g. minimum bias, W, Z, tt, QCD jets (to ~ 10-20 %),events features, particle multiplicities, pT and mass spectra, angular distributions, etc.
- measure top mass (to 5-7 GeV) give feedback on detector performance (jet scale …)Note : statistical error negligible after few days run
…. and then …
• Prepare the road to discovery:-- measure backgrounds to New Physics : e.g. tt and W/Z+ jets (omnipresent …)-- look at specific “control samples” for the individual channels:
e.g. ttjj with j ≠ b “calibrates” ttbb irreducible background to ttH ttbb
• Look for New Physics potentially accessible in first year (e.g. SUSY, …)
Note: if mH < 120 GeV : fast Higgs discovery may be crucial in case of competition with TevatronThis may be the most difficult physics goal for first year …

• different production and decay modes• different backgrounds• different detector/performance requirements:
-- ECAL crucial for H → γγ (in particular response uniformity) : σ/m ~ 1% needed-- b-tagging crucial for ttH : 4 b-tagged jets needed to reduce combinatorics-- efficient jet reconstruction over |η| < 5 crucial for qqH → qqττ :
forward jet tag and central jet veto needed against background
Note : -- all require “low” trigger thresholdsE.g. ttH analysis cuts : pT (l) > 20 GeV, pT (jets) > 15-30 GeV
-- all require very good understanding (1-10%) of backgrounds

With more time and data: precise SUSY measurements(not for the first year ….)
F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004
•• ATLAS and CMS should be able to perform precise measurements of SUSY final state → determine sparticle masses and fundamental parameters of theory with precision ≈ 10% or better in many cases (at least in minimal models)
• Method: measure end-points of reconstructed mass spectra at each step of (long) squark/gluino decay chains. End-points depend only on involved masses only (pure kinematics ….) “model-independent” measurements
• LSP is not directly observable but its mass can be constrained indirectly fromother measurements in final state constraints on cold dark matter

A lot !!!What can the LHC learn from the Tevatron data ?
All physics results are useful and exciting (mW, mtop, B-physics, possible discoveries ….)
F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004 ΣET (Gev)
New UE tuning< ΣET > ~ 222 GeV
Old UE tuning< ΣET > ~ 135 GeV
Less glamorous but equally important :
• general tuning of MC with data : minimum bias, underlying event, jet shapes, jetfragmentation (e.g. jet π0 ), jet algorithms (e.g. cone vs k⊥ as done by D0), PDF (g, b-quark, …)
ATLAS : ΣET in Z ττ events
• measurements of specific processes relevant to LHC, e.g. :-- tt, ttj (j=q,c,b), W/Z+jets, QCD multijets : omnipresent backgrounds in ~ all LHC searches-- γγ, γj : backgrounds to H γγ-- etc. etc.
• performance studies : τ-reconstruction and τ/jet separation, jet veto in e.g. W+jets events(for VBF at LHC), lepton absolute energy scale (can CDF/D0 achieve 0.4‰ as required for ∆mW~ 30 MeV ?), b-jet scale, etc.
F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004
Note : backgrounds at LHC will be measured with combination of data and MCAt the beginning, the data statistics will be limited
impact of MC prediction will be high
How fast can the LHC discover something new depends also on the Tevatron data
F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004
Conclusions
• LHC offers potentially an impressive physics programme right from the beginning.Event statistics : 1 day at LHC at 1033 ≡ 10 years at previous machines in some casesMachine luminosity performance will be the crucial issue in first year(s)
• Detector construction is progressing well, although few items are on critical path(e.g. ATLAS barrel toroid, CMS crystals)
• Lot of emphasis on test beams (individual sub-detectors, several sub-detectors together) and on construction quality checks results indicate that the detectors “as built” should give a good starting-point performance.
• However, a lot of data (and time …) will be needed at the beginning to:-- commission the detector and trigger in situ -- reach the performance needed to optimize the physics potential-- understand standard physics at √s = 14 TeV and compare to MC predictions-- measure backgrounds to possible New Physics
• SUSY may be discovered “quickly”, light Higgs more difficult … and what about surprises ?
• Contributions from Tevatron studies and data will be very important, especially in the initial phase to reach quickly the “discovery mode” and extract a convincing “early” signal

Muon RPC ageing test at X5
F. Gianotti, NIKHEF, 12/03/2004
• The test is going on continuously and is now reaching the limit of 3 Atlas years (90 mC/cm2) including the safety factor of 5-10
• The gas closed loop system has been mounted and will be gradually introduced for 4 out of the 6 detector layers that are under test. The other two will remain in open flow
• Detection efficiencies are good• A modest increase of the source off current is observed• In July and August the set up has to be removed from X5 for ATLAS MDT and
other non ATLAS users testing >>> long time required for reaching the limit of 10 Atlas years

Expected impact of “realistic/pessimistic” initial detector performance
One example : ATLAS EM calorimeter
H → γγ : constant term ctot ≤ 0.7% over |η| < 2.5 needed
Strategy to achieve this goal
By construction (e.g. mechanical tolerances): expect cL (≡ “local” constant term) ≈ 0.5% over ∆η x ∆ϕ =0.2 x 0.4 448 channels

conservative : implies very poor knowledge of upstream material (to factor ~2)
Nevertheless, let’s consider the worst (unrealistic ?) scenario : no corrections applied
