Experiment Overview

• We are making steady and impressive progress
• We returned from a successful shutdown very
  quickly and we have achieved 90 efficiency!
  (slide)
• Integration of systems successful
• Luminosity 6.5
• FPD in routine operations (and now better
  supported because of increased travel support
  from Directorate).
• STT fully integrated into readout
• We have 280 pb-1 of data recorded (slide)
• Utilized both on site and off site processing
  The entire 200 pb-1 pre-shutdown data processed
  and available for analyses. (slide)
• The physics program is building steam
• Run IIb upgrades are baselined, approved, and
  making excellent progress
• Layer Zero
• Trigger

We are keeping to our CY04 Goals!

But There Are Challenges

• Operational support thin.
• Room to improve data quality efficiency,
  calibration, feedback from physics to control
  room the natural next step necessary for
  precision results W mass, top mass, AFB, photon
  physics
• Deployment of our trigger arsenal must be
  completed to meet the challenge of increasing
  luminosity.
• Integration of the Run IIb upgrades must be
  carefully managed and planned.
• Continued development of computing capabilities
  must increase our processing, reprocessing, and
  MC generation onsite and offsite.
• Publication of results

Change in Technical Organization
for a transition period
7
Technical Integration

• T.I.C. has global oversight of operations, the
  upgrade, data quality
• establish priorities
• focus resources where needed.
• work with spokespersons acquiring additional
  resources to address specific problems and needs.
  
• Primary role is to integrate
• Ensure smooth operation of the detector
• Complete commissioning of all systems, while
  managing the impact on operations.
• Maintain pace on finalizing IIb designs,
  continued fabrication
• Focus and enhance data quality effort
• Expand integration of detector efforts with other
  experimental functions (i.e., physics,
  algorithms, software computing)
• Tie more intimately to online operations,
  accelerate feedback to from rest of experiment
• Operations, upgrade, and data quality managed by
  the principals
• This organization will strengthen the experiment.
  Please give your support to Jon, Dmitri, Vivian
  and Tom

A Few Words of Thanks

• None of this would be possible without Dmitris
  outstanding efforts as Run Coordinator over the
  past three years.

Upgrade Installation to Physics Task Force

• Need to seamlessly integrate operations and
  upgrade installation.
• Develop plan for installation, technical
  commissioning, and physics commissioning of the
  upgrade components
• Includes both project and non-project personnel
• Outline of resources, timelines, sequence of
  events
• Will be guided assisted by Technical
  Coordinator, Upgrade Project Manager, and
  Algorithms Coordinator
• Information will be used to inform spokespersons
  on timing and resource needs associated with
  upgrade installation

Some Fun Useful Stuff!

• Sharon Hagopian suggested, and kindly agreed to
  lead, the outfitting of the Hurricane Deck.
  Perhaps commissioning artwork for the back
  bulkhead and/or acquiring suitable photographs
  for the remaining bulkheads. (Nautical)
  suggestions welcome!
• Weve re-instituted the fine tradition of free
  beer after the Friday Wine Cheese at the the
  Users Center (at the Spokespersons expense) .
  Please join us! Students and postdocs are
  especially welcome!
• Web Pages
• Alan Stone coordinating creation of new www pages
• Thanks to Judy Nicholls, CD, for assistance
