Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Status of the ATLAS experiment

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Outline: Motivation for LHC and ATLAS History – time Status of the LHC machine Status af ATLAS and it’s subdetectors How we got here: - how to collaborate - comments on large scale and long lead time issues - a selection of a few technical problems and solutions positioning precision Next steps: - completion of installation - commisioning

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, But: Are the masses really generated by the Higgs mechanism? So far the Higgs boson has not been found! We need to find it or prove that it doesn’t exist! - The Standard Model of particle physics SU(3) C  SU(2) L  U(1) Y seems OK ! - Precision electroweak data support the SM and a light Higgs boson Why a new accelerator?  the L arge H adron C ollider  High statistics measurements of top quark. Does Supersymmetric (SUSY) particles exist? Can SUSY explain the dark matter? Large extra dimensions? Other new physics? ~10 times higher energy times higher luminosity SM Higgs mass prediction

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, History of the development of LHC and ATLAS In the 1980’s various studies for a possible hadron collider in the LEP tunnel and ideas for detector technology ECFA Study week on instrumentation for high-luminosity hadron colliders, Barcelona – LHC workshop in Aachen  7.7 on 7.7 TeV proton-proton collider (10 T). Physics cases studied. Instrumentation implications and ideas presented CERN instrumentation R&D programme initiated. About 50 RD projects where approved over time, covering detector elements, electronics and software expressions of interest for LHC experiments where presented at Evian: ASCOT, CMS, EAGLE and L ASCOT and EAGLE merge to form the ATLAS collaboration. LoI LHC is approved by CERN council TeV, 8 T magnetic field 1994 – ATLAS Technical Proposal submitted – ATLAS Technical Design reports 1997 – ATLAS construction approval. Cost estimate ~ 500 MCHF Preproduction started. Tendering started First subdetector installation in cavern March Support preinstalled – (September) All barrel toroidal coils installed. Summer 2007 – first collisions ?? (In 1990 the planned start date was in before SSC.)

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Dipoles ready for installation The magnet production proceeds very well and is on schedule, also the quality of the magnets is very good

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Cryogenic distribution line Cryogenics (QRL) in the tunnel On the critical path for the first collisions in Summer 2007 is the installation of the LHC in the tunnel, in particular due to delays in the cryogenic services lines (QRL) which in 2004 had problems, and for which a recovery plan was implemented successfully. (The problem was due to the welding quality of pipes.) Repair of the cryogenic service lines (QRL)

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Magnet Installation Interconnection of the dipoles and connection to the cryoline are the real challenges now in the installation process Transport of dipoles in the tunnel with an optical guided vehicle

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, How did we get here?

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Organization: ATLAS has been organized in a tree structure with subgroups, each with a (sub)project leader. Indivudual institutions join subgroups according to their interest. Inner Detector PixelSilicon TrackerTransition Radiation Tracker Liquid Argon Calorimeters Tile Calorimeter Muon System MagnetsTrigger & DAQ Computing Management: Project Leader + deputy, Techn. Coord, Resource Coord Executive Board …

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Decision making: Decisions in ATLAS are taken by Collaboration Board (or Group Representative Boards) where each institute has one vote. The proposal for the decision is prepared in/by subgroups and management at the level where the decision is taken. All major decisions, like technology for a specific subdetector, where voted for or approved by the ATLAS collaboration board. Examples: Accordion geometry was selected compared to thin gap geometry for the liquid argon calorimeter in Place was found for the groups working on the thin gap geometry to join the liquid argon hadronic endcap technology.

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Technological challenges and problems along the way. Long lead time  technology frozen early. Use state of the art at the time. In some cases choices were changed due to technological development. Technology may be outdated at start of LHC. Impossible to get spare parts. E.g. trigger boards purchased 10 % spares at each level, i.e. for each module type 10% spares, for each board in the module 10 % spares, for each component 10 % spares. Example: Early development of some radiation hard electronics required DMILL technology. Newer silicon technology with sufficiently rad-hardness. DMILL outdated. Large scale  production in industry. Tendering. Not always possible to get a company involved in the development to be the producer. Selected company may have miscalculated effort and quality required. (Of course important to obtain the lowest cost for the reuqired quality). Quality control. Companies do not fulfil requirements according to the order. Bankruptcy of company during production.

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Example: The presampler printed circuit board anode electrodes. Requirements within the standard (NEMA) for all printed circuit boards. 1st tendering: Scottish company selected. Failed to produce any board. Sales organization had not checked intyerest of prodcution unit. 2 nd tendering: Italian company selected. OK during small test production. In large scale production (22000 boards) about 10 % failed high voltage insulation criteria. Some boards showed failures after several days. All boards returned to producer. 3 rd tendering: A small company in Belgium that produced some boards during prototyping selected. Production successful.

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Examples of a few problems seen along the way and solutions: Some ”dust” inside the liquid argon cryostats penetrate into the active gaps of the presampler and the calorimeter. The principle of operation is to collect ionization charges from the se gaps applying 2 kV across. Dust  short circuit, gap dead. Solution: discharge capacitor across the short circuit. Complication: the high voltage feed lines have constantan connection wires to reduce heat losses inside the cryostat. This introduces some tens of Ohm resistance. The presampler also has a 1 MΩ decoupling resistor in series. With sufficient voltage across the surface mounted resistor a spark bypassing it is formed!! If the short circuit is solid, the thin lead on the board may act as a fuse. Tested with 50 μF, 2kV and 30 Ω constantan wire. It works!! In most cases, however, the short circuit disintegrates more easily than the copper lead on the board!! The same solution has been used to burn a short circuit inside one of the calorimeter gaps (though no thin line that may serve as a fuse).

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Pixel cooling pipes A problem appeared at end-July: Corrosion of stave cooling pipes Caused by nickelization of the pipe endings (needed to braze the fittings) and exposure to water without proper drying procedure  galvanic corrosion  15% of pipes leaky. Note: freon is used for the cooling All experts consulted agreed on the need to change all the pipes (hard to stop corrosion). Now, laser welding has been approved and will be used instead of fittings

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Example of challenge: Barrel Transport

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR -1- Model: 3D, 8 absorbers, connected together by a rigid body Material: simulate an elastic behaviour similar to the sandwich steel/polymer/lead Sinusoidal excitation of 0.1g along Y, between 10 and 110Hz, damping factor per mode 1% (high damping: friction + material properties) courtesy J.Bonis, LAL Excitation of one dangerous mode at 20Hz (coupled vibration of the zero-order harmonics of one individual absorber)

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, And the end-caps are coming soon… here the LAr end-cap C on its way (22 nd September)

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Positioning precision: The position of the 175 ton liquid argon calorimeter inside the tile calorimeter has been adjusted to within 1-2 mm. Excellent in view of the deformation caused by 175 tons!! Legs attached to Tilecal support Shims to adjust position Cavern floor: The cavern has been excavated removing rock. The floor now rises with an assumed movement of ~ 0.8 mm /year. Adjust ATLAS to be a few mm below the beam line such that the optimal position is obtained around 2010 when LHC has achieved optimal tuning.

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Next steps: - Completing installation - Commisioning

Bengt Lund-Jensen, AlbaNova, Barrel Toroid installed  Cable ladders may be installed and cabling started. (Some cabling already prepared by installing from electronics cavern to the structure just outside the toroid coils). Inner detector and endcaps remain. Tight schedule. Detailed day by day program exists. Some unexpected problems can be accomodated. Considerations: number of persons underground at the same time is limited. access to different detector parts depends on other installation tasks access during magnet tests restricted.
