Financial situation

Due to various delays (late start of LHC, ...)

all post-docs were hired late

both personnel and running costs affected (fewer people to travel).

budget related to travel and presence at CERN affected (no shifts before 2009). Budget re-ajusted but

More or less according to plans

Good news: most of the finishing master students were offered a PhD grant: gRB’! Question: Who will continue attracting students, motivate them and supervise them?

hence ensuring “sustainability” In other words ...

Like in 2005 …We are still really worried that we can't keep even our bright students ...

Main Project Activities and milestones

Due to technical problems during the installation and commissioning of some superconductingmagnets of the accelerator

the start-up of LHC had to be delayed from November, 2007 to mid-2008. Several of the milestones related to the main activities described in the HEPP application document will thus be shifted,

typically by six months.

Status: 2005 2007

Due to the September 2008 incident, important milestones will be further shifted … However progress has been made and some important milestones have been reached

Contributions to ATLASDetector & Computing

Infrastructure

One of the Norwegian contributions to the ATLAS “Semi Conductor Tracker” (SCT): Oslo, Bergen and Uppsala built 320 silicon modules ~ 15% of Atlas needs.

In 2006, the HEPP project's goal to build, install and test parts of the ATLAS SCT detector was reached

Both barrel and end-cap integrated into the TRT (transition radiation tracker) on the surface and tested with cosmic rays

The performance of the complete system, (tested for noise performance and cross-talk, efficiency, tracking and alignment), is very good

Project members took part in Milestone cosmic ray tests and are heavily involved in commissioning.

Impressive contribution of students to commissioning and shifts

ATLAS Cryogenics

Construction of cryogenics tanks for ATLAS (NTNU, UiO, Industry)

are successfully completed

The liquid nitrogen and liquid argon vessels have all been installed and routinely used in the successful tests of the barrel superconducting toroïd magnet system which was tested at full current at the end of 2006.

Conclusions and Outlook● HEPP members are ready to tackle the LHC era

● Impressive contributions from students and others to the whole ATLAS “chain”

● Experimentalists hand in hand with theoreticians– Common colloquia and workshops around LHC

– “Sharing” of students

● Good synergy HEPP-Grid – Towards efficient distributed physics analysis

● Huge activity in outreach

● Good news: more PhD students and more Post-docs– Several master students started PhD Let’s hope it is not a statistical fluctuation ...

● Worrisome: – Leaving senior physicists often not replaced ...

– Experimental particle physics (ATLAS): Currently 2 active professors in Oslo and 3 in Bergen

– Administrative help urgently needed ...

– We are still very motivated but are having hard time!
