By August 15 · Increase L 3 rate from 4 Hz to ~100 Hz Done In progress today · Complete L 1 Cal Done · Start bringing up L 2 trigger partially NOW Run until ~Oct 8 Take data & commission offline software with real data; Calibration & Alignment Oct 8 - ~Nov 10 16 Install AFE 8 boards & other completion Preparing November 36 x 36 stores Commission CFT & L 1 track trigger December & January 2002 36 x 36 fine tune & stabilize; stable operation March 2002 Start stable high rate physics running A challenge to us all! Do not accept this date as unchangeable. Work to make it sooner. Why not January 1? It will be hard, but. . . Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Priorities, Effort , Manpower H. Weerts Take a step back and look at global picture of DØ Not a “normal” experiment in classical sense…. • Finishing Run I still • In process of completing Run 2 a Upgrade hardware( electronics, trigger) • Commissioning detector we have BIG TASK • Commissioning software, understanding detector behavior, integration of the DØ experiment HUGE EFFORT • Preparing for Run 2 physics (ID & physics groups) • Designing and planning for Run 2 b……the next run All of this driven by physics, but nevertheless an ENORMOUS TASK Many steps in parallel instead of doing them serially We are and will always be limited by manpower…………given the above Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Priorities, Effort , Manpower (2) H. Weerts How to address the shortage of manpower ? ( which has been clearly identified this week) Two ways ( and already started): • Set priorities ( which to some extent is happening) • Take hard look at collaboration and identify manpower not used efficiently Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

What can you do? H. Weerts · Difficult to speed up completion of the very technical items like Level 2 and Level 3 u one or two people may be approached to help with the CFT electronics endgame · BUT there’s a great deal you can do to speed up the start of “physics running” u u u start looking at data within one of the existing efforts don’t wait for someone else to solve the problems don’t wait to be asked to help Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Priorities H. Weerts · Just to make it clear where we stand: u Everyone in DØ should be working on tasks related to making the detector and the software work, and understanding its performance s s u For example: shifts, AFE installation, development of reco, alignment software, trigsim, Monte Carlo samples Not for example studying the reach in the m 0 -m 1/2 plane, optimizing cuts for future analyses (when we don’t yet understand even basic detector performance) Obviously there will be some exceptions (Run I students, work towards the Run 2 b detector TDR, etc. ) but exceptions are not the rule · This is the priority of the physics and ID group leaders and these groups are pushing in this direction Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Commissioning and hardware needs · Shifters needed u H. Weerts IB meeting voted to make this a requirement especially postdocs and students resident at Fermilab who can become immersed in the control room, as DAQ and subdetector experts, and take 6 -8 shifts per month for 4 -5 month “tour of duty” s s s both SMT and Calorimeter are short! many institutions have not responded contact Dmitri Denisov (denisovd@fnal. gov) · every one of the subdetector commissioning teams could use a couple more people u best if each university group could align themselves with one or two subdetector efforts so as to provide a cohesive team effort · Trigger commissioning and FPGA programming · Close-to-the-detector software u online monitoring and controls, calibration, database applications. . . Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Software and Computing needs H. Weerts · We shortchanged the software effort for a couple of years to give priority to getting the hardware ready. Now, with data to process and a detector to understand, there a lot of areas that need increased manpower. · See Harry Melanson’s survey of algorithms group manpower at http: //wwwd 0. fnal. gov/computing/algorithms/reports/august 01. html · Extracts: u u Level 3 filtering urgently needs more people: 10 FTE’s Global tracking needs ~ 3 FTE’s to work with real data SMT, CFT, muon, vertex software all short 1 or 2 FTE’s each Alignment: 10 FTE’s needed to understand problems in present data, CFT alignment, calorimeter alignment, muon system RCP files Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

Software and computing needs(2) H. Weerts · Need someone to define/implement the DST and micro. DST data tiers. · Streaming u Need ~ 1 -2 people to work with Greg Landsberg to implement · Luminosity u Need ~ 2 people to work with Michael Begel and John Hauptman on immediate luminosity goals: identified · ID groups Bottom Line: > 40 FTE’s are needed Talk to the computing and software leaders, to the spokespeople, or directly to the subgroup leaders Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

H. Weerts Summary We are struggling and we will keep struggling BUT We are making progress in a steady way. It may not seem like that every day, but it is very clear on a monthly time scale Closing remarks; September 14, 2001

H. Weerts Here is a short announcement about the meeting in Saclay: We will have a meeting focussing on muons in Saclay on the 19 th (afternoon), 20 th and 21 st of December. The aim is to discuss the first physics data involving the muon system. The proposed agenda will be as follows: - Wednesday afternoon: status of muon detector (barrel and end-caps) L 1 status / efficiency L 2 status - Thursday morning: L 3 reconstruction status and performance Calibration and alignment status - Thursday afternoon: offline reconstruction status (hit, segment, local muon track reconstruction, global tracking, performances) - Friday morning and afternoon: Physics channels involving muons. We expect first analysis reports on W, Z, J/Psi, top, b physics, new phenomena The details will be sent around later on. Thanks Cheers Christophe Closing remarks; September 14, 2001
