US CMS Annual Meeting US CMS ECAL Manager Report B. Cox May 8, 2009 Outline • Overview of Activities • FY 09 Budget Changes since baseline budget Fall ’ 08. • FY 09 Budget Status Mid-year Review FY 09 so far. Projection for the remainder of FY 09. • Opportunities for new ECAL participants • Housekeeping issues • Summary

Overview of Activities – FY 09 Slide I • Opening of the CMS detector to allow access to the ECAL. • Repair of bad channels; At present, the percentage of bad channels are less that 1% in the barrel and endcaps (0. 64% for the barrel 60, 000 channels and 0. 38% of the endcap 14, 468 crystals). • Addressing the B field (600 G) problem in the laser barracks. At present, we have dealt with air conditioning, interlocks of laser lamps so they are off during rampdown of CMS solenoid, magnetic shielding of the lasers, and purchase of instrumentation that is tolerant of magnetic fields. In June when the magnet once again turned on, we will see of there is anything more to do. • LED’s on both endcaps are totally functional after all fixes. Both blue superbrights and orange LEDs are operational. The operation of the LED system from the cavern in a “manual”mode is in place. Full operation from the cavern under computer control is well along. • Upgrade of the barrel low voltage and optical links

Overview of Activities – FY 09 Slide II • The strategy of operation of the LED and the Laser calibration system by the CMS DAQ via the TTCci and the EMTC modules with the full calibration, testing, and soak light pulses in the 11. 4 K of abort gaps has been decided. • This strategy has been partially implemented. • At present, since the checkout of the ECAL is still underway, with the trigger checks and repairs of individual channels still on progress, the LED system is heavily used for this check out. This slows the integration of the LED and Laser together and into the DAQ since the requests are to keep flashing manually. • Participation in the CRAFT runs and the PFG are ongoing but more manpower needed. • Severe shortage of office space (need contiguous space if possible)

FY 09 Budget Approved Budget (Fall 08) Additions after March Review Current FY 09 Budget 871. 361 38, 009 909, 370 DOE Budget 738, 583 NSF Budget 170, 787 Total 909, 370 • An extra $11, 817 was allocated to the University of Virginia for a small test beam LED system for the planned checks of lead tungstate and photodetector rad damage vulnerability. • An extra $4, 431 was allocated to Caltech to purchase a B-Field tolerant power meter and IR viewer. • An additional $21, 761 was approved for extra COLA’s for new, long term postdocs and faculty who were arriving in May and June.

CERN Team Account - DOE FY 09 Oblig FY 09 Budget thru Mar 09 Projected FY 09 Oblig Personnel 344, 307 194, 850 $349, 000 M&S 126, 442 22, 613 $55, 000 27, 178 33, 101 $70, 000 205, 428 97, 054 $228, 000 3, 309 766 2, 000 706, 664 348, 384 $704, 000 Travel + Transport COLA +short term stays Communications Total • The main readjustment is to “rationalize” and , perhaps, readjust the distribution of funds between the M&S and the COLA and travel budgets • Still may not be completely fully accounted for are the barrel low voltage and optical link upgrades: more M&S than has been allowed in the projection? • The radiation tests at H 4 and other places will require more resources in FY 09/10?

FY 09 Summary and FY 10 FY 09 Estimate Budget Personnel $383, 304 $389, 000 ($5, 696) $25, 000 $227, 785 $144, 000 $83, 785 $27, 178 $80, 000 ($52, 822) $267, 794 $290, 366 ($22, 572) $3, 309 $2000 $1, 309 $909, 370 $930, 366 ($20, 996) Cornell (not agreed to yet) M&S Travel + Transport COLA Communications Total Projected FY 09 Oblig FY 09 Excess or (Shortfall) The major imbalance appears to be between M&S and Travel + Transport + COLA, which may indicate a shift from detector workto physicist intensive work.

Opportunities for New ECAL participants US Contacts to talk to • DAQ - • DQM - Number of players: See the overall ECAL organization chart • DCS • Operations/Monitoring (Borheim) • Calibration (Gataullin) • Simulation - (Heltsley) • Craft/Cruzet analysis (Franzoni) • Prompt Feedback Group (Ortimoto) • Barrel (Singovski) • Endcap (Ledovskoy)

Housekeeping issues • Office space; trying to get three offices in Bldg 510 • We are renting the “Chalet” for the summer- June 1 -August 30 Occupancy for 4 -6; I need to know who wants a place. • I need information about the FTE’s at CERN in FY 09 and FY 10; most institutions have been responsive but those that have, please respond. . • Be alert and let me know if there any NEW requests for funds to cover COLAs, new M&S, short term visits, transport. • Be aware that midsummer, I will be preparing the FY 10 budget request. Think hard about what you might need in FY 10. • Any other complaints/beefs/needs I should know about?

Summary and Conclusions II • We are on budget at present/ perhaps a bit over with new colas. • The major uncertainty in the 2009 budgeting is how much M&S compared to for Travel + Transport + COLA’s, ie. people expenses vs. M&S at CERN. • The ECAL detector is coming together nicely. Concerns: The schedule for the magnet operation should not slip in order for us to see if the laser barracks B field problem is solved. The final insertion of the laser/LED into the controls system (fast and slow) is not yet completed. On track for mid summer but will be nervous until we can sit in the control room and control! The upgrade work on optical links and LV for the barrel. • How do we meet the service obligations of US ECAL within a reasonable budget is unclear since most of the ways you can get credit requires one to be at CERN.

Summary and Conclusions II • My major concern is too few people on the ground at CERN on the short term to man the 24/7 CRAFT/CRUZET runs to start in June and go until full running in the fall. • in the next 1 -2 years, to bring the ECAL up to optimal performance. A very annoying concern is office space. I expect the budget for next year to be similar but with the emphasis shifting from M&S to physicist expenses as we try to calibrate and stabilize the ECAL detector. There will be off-line test beam work and test bench work to continue studying details of the detector performance.
