1. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 I would like to start these remarks by giving a well deserved thanks to: The local organizing Committee and HIP members forThe local organizing Committee and HIP members for –their kind welcome –excellent organization –and convivial atmosphere The speakers for the quality of their presentationsThe speakers for the quality of their presentations And, of course, Jorma forJorma for –Taking the initiative to organize this workshop –And for arranging the perfect Finnish summer weather !

2. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks The main goal of this workshop was to provide an opportunity for the community of “practitioners” to take a step back and review the topic from a wide range of angles.

3. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks In two and a half days we have covered: The broad range of Higgs & SUSY physics potentially accessible with these signaturesThe broad range of Higgs & SUSY physics potentially accessible with these signatures –Magali & Juinichi The Tracker hardware and software toolsThe Tracker hardware and software tools –Marcello & Lucia Tracker mechanical tolerances & alignmentTracker mechanical tolerances & alignment –Eija Tuominen, Panja Luukka (for Harry Katajisto), Andrei, Veikko, Tapio Lampen Track reconstruction & pixel track reconstruction (HLT & offline)Track reconstruction & pixel track reconstruction (HLT & offline) –Teddy & Danek Vertex reconstructionVertex reconstruction –Pascal

5. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks All this was set in a broader prospect by excellent reviews of The Status of the LHC projectThe Status of the LHC project –Jorma for Daniel (!)

6. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks It has been a busy few days, and yesterday evening’s relaxing boat ride was very welcome!

7. Marcello Mannelli b-  Workshop Helsinki May 2002 Concluding Remarks What do we take out of all this? A refreshed perspectiveA refreshed perspective A better understanding of a number of specific pointsA better understanding of a number of specific points An underlined appreciation of the importance of the Pixel detector for tracking and HLT filteringAn underlined appreciation of the importance of the Pixel detector for tracking and HLT filtering –should we perhaps revisit the issue of hermeticity and read-out efficiency? A small regret: broader participation from our ATLAS colleagues would certainly have further enriched the discussion and exchange of ideasA small regret: broader participation from our ATLAS colleagues would certainly have further enriched the discussion and exchange of ideas A question: will this have been “the first in a series” of topical workshops on tracking at the LHC?A question: will this have been “the first in a series” of topical workshops on tracking at the LHC?
