The LHC Environment Basic LHC parameters: Beams C.O.M. energy Luminosity Avg. interactions per crossing 23 Crossing period 25 ns p p 14 TeV 10 33 cm 2 s (low) 10 34 cm 2 s (design) The big detector design challenge is dealing with the large luminosity (and small bunch spacing and large pile-up). Example: muon systems designed to produce useful physics standalone at the highest luminosities, in case the inner tracking is degraded. There will be a period of low-luminosity running before high-luminosity running. Some detector capabilities may degrade at high luminosity (such as b-tagging). Two major, general-purpose pp detectors: ATLAS and CMS. Leptons and Photons at the (S)LHC p.2/26

Super LHC (SLHC) ref: Gianotti, et el., hep-ph/0204087 Proposed luminosity and energy upgrades to the LHC. Luminosity might increase another order of magnitude, to 10 35 cm 2 s 1. Energy might double to 28 TeV (more speculative, requires new magnets). Bunch spacing may go from 25 ns to 12.5 ns. Effect on detectors? Existing tracking detectors will not function at this luminosity. Complete replacement of inner tracking will be required. Reduce cell size by 10 to deal with increased occupancy. Existing Si strip technology could work > 60 cm, and existing pixel technology > 20 cm. New detector technologies are likely needed to survive in the region < 20 cm. Calorimeters. Existing barrel calorimeters will likely still work. Endcap calorimeters may need changes. ATLAS may need to use a different liquid, such as LKr. CMS endcap HCAL scintillator is a problem. Pile-up noise in the calorimeter will increase by 3.. For E T = 30 GeV, σe/e goes from 2.5% to 3.6%.. For E T = 40 GeV and fixed electron efficiency, jet rejection decreases by about 50% (pile-up effects on isolation and shower shape requirements). Trigger and readout systems may need only minor changes. Leptons and Photons at the (S)LHC p.24/26
SLHC Muons. Muon systems will probably continue to work without major changes in the detectors themselves. But background rates are not currently well known. (Detectors were designed with a 3 5 safety margin on background rates at 10 34.) Rates must be measured from actual running. The forward regions η > 2 may need to be replaced with shielding, reducing the angular coverage. Trigger and readout may need major changes to cope with the reduced bunch spacing. Trigger/DAQ upgrades will also be needed. Significant new R&D work will be required to design a detector that can run at 10 35 cm 2 s 1 with the desired performance. Experience from running the present designs will be crucial. Leptons and Photons at the (S)LHC p.25/26
Summary Installation is in progress for LHC and both detectors, for turn-on in 2007. The large luminosity of the LHC makes it a challenging environment. But the detector collaborations have converged on designs that should give excellent performance for detecting leptons and photons. Looking forward to the start of data-taking!
