Brief History, Status

• Motivation - why worry now?
• Getting started - LPC
• First discussion
• Why do we cluster?
• The plan
• Status (1 slide)

4
Why worry now? Day-One

• Commissioning
• Complex detectors, environment
• Took CDF 18 months (just for RunII startup!!)
• Period to build credibility for future physics
  results
• Partially instrumented detector (?)
• No pixels ? Very different tracking strategy and
  capabilities. Study now!
• Tracking always slower to mature, big impact
• New Energy regime
• Some (possibly exciting) physics is accessible
  with calorimetry only. Need to work on it now.
• Really exploration machine! No paradigm, golden
  channels
• Must be ready and prepared for anything
• Do not waste time (money) on 17

Why do we cluster?

• Detector location
• Operations Shifts, Data validation, Maintenance
• Computing Data reconstruction, Storage,
  Simulation
• Critical mass for complex analyses
• Experts (mainly tracking, calor, calib, sim...)
• Presentations Meetings
• New students post-docs education
• Gossip and other social activities
• In the end, our common goal is Physics output.
• Can remote clustering be successful?

7
Agreed on a Plan

• Establish the LHC Physics Center (LPC), so that
  we can
• Build local low-level software expertise and
  infrastructure
• Learn whats available (in CMS)? How good is it?
  What should we concentrate on?
• Enable University participation by leveraging
  initial lab effort
• Invite and encourage sharing of CDF/D0
  collaborations efforts (specifically of post-docs
  and students)
• Establish skeleton local algorithm groups
• Participate in CMS activities as a community
• gt Sent letter to Mike that started the whole
  thing.

8
Where are we now?

• We managed to build a strong foundation
• Most points from the plan we made where
  actually and surprisingly achieved in an amazing
  short period.
• Our working groups completed the study of the
  available
• Some are major contributors to current
  developments (framework, tracking, Jet, Met, code
  management,)
• Lab support has been and still is very strong
• LPC is one of the best places (if not the best)
  in terms of low-level SW expertise in CMS
• Examples
• Six active working groups
• Workshops, Schools, mtgs (a few highlights)
• Hosted CMS Physics week
• J-term
• Hosted CMS Tracker/SW joint workshop
• Initiated and will host the first joint FNAL/CERN
  HCSS
• Recently started analysis oriented Physics
  effort
• Remote Operation Center (ROC)

Became (literally) a model for imitation by CERN
and others

LPC
Founded Feb 2004
Located on the 11th floor of the FNAL high rise,
the purpose of the LPC is to ensure the US gives
the strongest possible assistance to
international CMS in software preparations for
Day 1 and to enable physics analysis from within
the U.S.

• a critical mass (clustering) of young people
  who are actively working on software
  (reconstruction, particle identification, physics
  analysis) in a single location (11th floor of the
  high rise),
• a resource for University-based US CMS
  collaborators a place to find expertise in their
  time zone, a place to visit with their software
  and analysis questions,
• a brick-and-mortar location for US-based physics
  analysis, with such physical infrastructure as
  large meeting rooms, video conferencing, large
  scale computing, and a water cooler for
  informal discussions of physics.

11
2005

• Moved into 11th floor in early 2005
• create of ROC
• planning of LHC_at_FNAL
• international CMS physics week
• 3 sessions of CMS101/ 4 sessions of software
  tutorials
• J-Term
• 2 week summer school (run by Dan Green)
• over 50 summer visitors who stayed at least 2
  continguous weeks
• Physics workshop
• LHC the first one-two years mini workshop
• All US CMS Meeting
• Wine and cheese on LPC at FNAL
• new working groups (tau, cosmic challenge/roc,
  physics)

The LPC Universities

• a postdoc who is stationed at FNAL working on
  both CMS and a Tevatron experiment can have a
  desk on the 11th floor and be near people from
  both experiments.
• a CMS postdoc can be stationed at FNAL and
  benefit from having many people close by to
  interact with
• a postdoc stationed at your university can come
  for a month, to get up to speed on analysis
  basics and to form personal connections that will
  help his/her later work
• students can come for the summer to interact
  with a wide variety of experts and learn the
  basics on the CMS environment
• Faculty can come every other week to keep their
  connections with the experimental community .
• Faculty can come for a day for help with a
  particularly knotty software or analysis problem

Participation in the groups will both help them
do physics and allow them to serve the US and
International CMS

Plans for Coming Year

• Commissioning of ROC / Cosmic slice test
• Expansion onto 10th floor
• Full house this summer
• CMS101/Tutorials in June and September
• LHC_at_FNAL
• Strengthening of working groups, especially the
  brand-new physics group
• Development of realistic run plan for early
  data taking
• Working with detector groups

37
LPC and MTCC

• MTCC Magnet Test Cosmic Challenge
• Start of test Detector close, June 6, 2006
• Goals test and train magnet, integrate
  detectors.
• Date has slipped. Summer visitors can now
  participate.
• Data will be brought to FNAL for analysis.
• Some (e.g. HCAL brightening data) will be kept
  and archived at Fnal.)
• Also some real time monitoring will be done.
• Specific plan for LPC analysis varies by group
  and is in formulation
• (ECAL, EMU, HCAL, Tracker, Trigger)
• Many periods without data taking, no shifts
  currently envisioned, brief daily meeting instead.

38
LPC and Test Beam

• Test Beam planned for late summer.
• ECAL, HCAL,
• Data will be brought to FNAL (as was done for
  previous test beams)
• ECAL and HCAL have LPC based analysis plans for
  this data.
• Shift(s) at ROC and real time data monitoring
  planned
• Shifts likely not 24/7

• Nick

• Yurii

Conclusions
Hope to see you on the 11th floor!
44
Impact of LPC

• Although not formally commissioned until early
  2005, LPC have already had a big impact on CMS
• Review of software framework led to overhaul of
  CMS software from the bottoms up (new framework,
  event data model).
• One of the two tracking packages CMS uses, has
  been developed and is supported by the LPC
  tracking group.
• LPC Jet/Met group leads the implementation of Jet
  and Met reconstruction software in the new
  framework.
• ROC is setting an example for remote
  participation/access (CMS is planning the CCAR).
• To date, best place to pick up and get started on
  CMS.

45
Interaction terms - Key to success

• The three legs
• US-CMS SC
• FNAL CD/PPD
• LPC
• There have been an early understanding of the
  potential benefits from coordination
• Joint study groups (CDF/D0, CD experts, US-CMS
  colleagues)
• Started with tracking --gt code distribution,
  framework
• Utilizing CD consultancy time, huge impact!
  (critical during early stage)
• Consolidating US-CMS SC efforts around few, well
  chosen projects
• Instead of shipping individual effort across the
  Atlantic
• Maintain constant project effort level (see Liz
  talk)
• Push overall effort level. Enable physicists
  contributions, broader participation.
• Tremendous cross-fertilization
• Impact rather obvious

46
Summary

• 2005 concentration on the physics-enabling
  environment and reconstruction tools. Aspects
  ranging from muon identification to trigger
  tables to jet calibration.
• 2006 moving closer to physics analyses, via the
  path of understanding the detectors during the
  cosmic challenge and test beam. Starting to plan
  for commissioning, Day-1 Physics.
