A candidate Z boson event in the dimuon decay with 20 reconstructed vertices. This event was recorded on September 14th and is typical for the 2011 environment with high pileup after the beta* was reduced to 1m (in the Technical Stop in Sept 2011). The vertices shown are reconstructed using tracks with pT greater than 0.4 GeV.

Experiment to establish limitations on operations of the ATLAS end-cap calorimeters at sLHC luminosities

IHEP, JINR, BNPI, FIRAN

The main goal of the experiment is to study the performance of the ATLAS HEC, EMEC and FCAL liquid argon calorimeters as expected for the operation at the planned sLHC. The increase of luminosity by a factor of ten has serious consequences for the signal reconstruction, radiation hardness requirements and operations of the above mentioned calorimeters.

The goal of the project is to reduce the risk of radiation damage to the personnel, working in the environment with high radiation levels (inside the ATLAS detector for example).

The main idea is to give some "robotic possibilities" to the personnel working inside radiation-dangerous places.

•To significantly improve the PHOS timing resolution in order to improve conditions for measuring direct thermal photons by using time-of-flight cut for selection of the photon clusters;•To increase the data readout bandwidth and thereby PHOS trigger rate capability in order to cope with the increased luminosity after the LHC upgrade in 2017/18.

  INR RAS, BINP, Boreskov institute

There is an interest to develop and produce the Focusing Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov (FARICH) detector for the upgrade of the CERN ALICE high momentum PID (HMPID) system.

The development of the FARICH detector is proposed with the goal to extend the working momentum range of the charged particle identification at ALICE up to 10 GeV/c for the pion–kaon separation and up to 15 GeV/c for kaon–proton separation.

Conclusion All four detectors were sustainably operating during 18 months at the never

seen energy of 7 TeV and luminosity upto 1033 cm-2s-1 of colliding proton beams. Plenty of rediscoveries and some new phenomena observed show a good shape of the detectors though no deviations from SM are revealed yet.

Three of four detectors experienced collisions of the lead-ion beams with unprecedented energies and started to explore the matter in the highly dense and hot phase. They are preparing to a new HI run which is planned for this Fall.

In this exciting era of discoveries in particle physics the Russian institutions are strongly involved in the detector operation, data taking and analysis, and physics simulations with the continuing funding support from the Russian government as it was done during the detector construction period.

At the same time one should keep in mind the next development plans for the LHC Project which mean to increase the energy by factor two and the luminosity by two orders of magnitude. It will demand essential efforts and additional financial contributions from all participants of the Project.

Muon spectrometr upgrade: motivations

Regular cylindrical beampipe should be replaced by a thin (thickness < 1 mm) conical beampipe of Be.

Regular cylindrical beampipe would cause excessive matter that creates multiple scattering and secondaries and degradation of the detector performance

Production of such Be beampipe is quite complex due to the fact that Be is a very harmful material.
