Physics Impact of Lower energy @ Startup For safer and more reliable operation at startup the machine may run at a lower energy ( > 0.9 x nominal) and for at most a few months(higgs will be out of reach during this period). SUSY processes have strong interaction cross-sections lower energy acceptable. We must start running asap. And move to nominal energy asap m H = 130 GeV σ.br 40 fb σ SUSY 150 pb! T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 10
CMS: H! ZZ! 2e 2µ At nominal proton intensity/bunch (1.1x10 11 p) and nominal β* we get 20 pileup events/crossing superposed on the one of interest For initial physics data taking ATLAS and CMS wish to operate in conditions with < 2 pileup events/crossing Single event Only tracks with p T > 2 GeV are shown NB: Nominal bunch-bunch: 100 W!lν /hr, T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 11
CMS: H! ZZ! 2e 2µ + 2 pileup events i.e. 10 33 and 25ns bunch spacing + 20 pileup events i.e. 10 34 and 25ns bunch spacing T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 12
Requirements from Experiments I ATLAS Shutdown after the pilot run not in current plan but wish to retain possibility of requesting it (length 3 mo.) CMS Request shutdown of 2.5 mo. after the pilot run ATLAS & CMS: Prefer data-taking at 10 33 cm -2 s -1 at 25 ns bunch spacing LHCb The single-beam phase should be with clockwise beam (seen from above) Request collisions also during 43 on 43 bunch operation (a few per turn) Prefer operation at 1-2x10 32 cm -2 s -1 at 25 ns bunch spacing (maximize events with 1 interaction) Sector Test: Wish for small to no impact on their installation after the test. Varying β* ( as well as during a fill!) ALICE pp running at L = 10 29-10 30 cm -2 s -1 (cleanest data for 10 29, no pileup in TPC) Studies of varying β* and displacement of beams (beam halo beam halo) A few good days of Pb-Pb running before a long (> 5 mo.) shutdown T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 13
Requirements from Experiments II Startup is 4 years away should retain as much flexibility as possible Some short-time access during pilot run At the end of pilot run: hope machine can be stably operated at 25 ns spacing (in addition to 75ns) Change energy only once if a lower energy is chosen for initial running stability during physics data taking important. Wish spectrometer magnets ON during injection to start data-taking asap. Satellite bunch intensity 1% of nominal appears to be acceptable. Duration and pattern of accesses Data Exchange From Expts: Beam condition monitors and other detectors such as: for CMS (HF, ME for halo muons) etc. Relative bunch-bunch luminosity From Machine beam condition, background conditions (vacuum quality etc.) settings of expt-critical collimators, bunch intensities, etc. We (and CERN for power ) should prepare for the possibility of running in winter of 2007 T.

Strawman Timeline and Experiment Activities I 1 st Beam to 1 st Collisions (Pilot Run) Single Beam: April and May Machine: Set-up the machine for safe operation One low intensity bunch! multiple bunches at close to nominal intensity (20 pileup events/crossing!!) Experiments: Synchronization, beam-gas studies and rejection, vacuum quality, profile of beam-gas interactions, muon halo triggers, catalog detector problems Colliding Beams (June) Machine: One bunch on one bunch! 43 x 43 at close to nominal bunch intensity with zero crossing angle! carefully squeeze beams Experiments: Synchronization, record first pp collisions! Catalog detector problems Colliding Beams (July) Machine: Introduce crossing angle and larger no. of bunches 75 ns, 940 bunches at few x 10 32 cm -2 s -1 25 ns, 2520 bunches at few x 10 32 cm -2 s -1, Scrubbing to address electron cloud issues? Experiments: Synchronization, set-up for physics running, pilot physics T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 15
Shutdown ( 3 mo.) Strawman Timeline and Experiment Activities II 1 st Collisions to 10 33 cm -2 s -1 (Physics Run starting November) First few weeks: Start with 75 ns, 940 bunches, L = 10 32 cm -2 s -1 (synchronisation) Increase bunch intensities. When pileup becomes > 2 evts/crossing move to 25ns, 2520 bunches When experiments have understood detector operation at >2 pileup events/crossing possible options are: If 25ns operation is OK, raise L to 10 33 cm -2 s -1 and integrate physics If and only if 25ns operation shows problems or experiments desire higher integrated luminosity, then run at 75 ns with >2 pileup evts/crossing. Run for 7 mo. (integrating 10fb -1 per ATLAS/CMS) ALICE requests a 2-week Pb-Pb run just before first long shutdown (Alternative: no shutdown! physics run for few months! long winter shutdown) T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 16
Conclusions The four LHC detectors (with some elements staged) will be ready for first beam in April 2007 Exciting physics is likely to start tumbling out right at the start and at the envisaged initial luminosities! Startup is 4 years away must retain as much flexibility as possible in running scenarios The goal should be to go as fast as possible to stable operation at 25 ns bunch spacing @ 10 33 cm -2 s -1 @ nominal energy Initial physics running should be with < 2 pileup events/crossing. A somewhat lower energy for the initial few months would be acceptable. The exact choice for integrating a high luminosity in the first year can probably be made only in light of experience gained in initial phase. We (and CERN for power.) should prepare for the possibility of running during the winter of 2007. T. Virdee, Chamonix XII, Mar03 17
