• To date: 267 papers published or submitted with collision data • Anticipate ~ 100 more over coming year
And as you know … • ATLAS and CMS observed a particle consistent with the SM Higgs
– Reported on July 4th 2012 at CERN seminar – Several seminars in Canada as well – Huge amount of press, with Canadian ATLAS members appearing in
national and local TV, radio, newspapers and magazines – Cited in 2013 Nobel Prize award to theorists François Englert and Peter
W. Higgs

ATLAS and Canada • Over 150 Canadian scientists work on ATLAS
• Especially: leaders in “natural SUSY” searches (stops, higgsinos) – Exotic particle production
• Heavy vector bosons, vector-like quarks, monopoles and other heavily ionizing particles, general dark matter searches in mono-jet production
– Top-quark physics, Drell-Yan, other Standard Model processes • Hold convenerships and coordination roles through ATLAS physics groups
– Significant efforts from TRIUMF, with 5 full-time faculty, plus 4 joint appointments with Canadian universities, plus 2-3 visitors at TRIUMF, 3 postdocs, 3 CERN-based technical positions, 7 grad students at TRIUMF
• TRIUMF Tier-1 personnel provide critical analysis tool support to Canadians – Grid computing issues, data access, analysis tool support, local analysis
framework installation and support • Major success following from previous TRIUMF 5YP priorities • Non-optimal 2015-2020 funding: puts Canadian physics in jeopardy

LHC Baseline Plan • Three “long shutdowns” with ATLAS phase 0/1/2 upgrades • Currently engaged in “phase 0” installation, “phase 1”
construction and “phase 2” R&D

2013 November 14
1) ATLAS Tier 1 computing centre • TRIUMF Tier-1 enables Canadian ATLAS physics
– Funded so far via CFI (approximately CAD $20M so far, hardware, personnel, ops)
– Hosts 10% of ATLAS data – Top performing ATLAS Tier-1 centre – Provides analysis support across Canada
• Personnel funded to 31 March 2015 by CFI Funds
– Critical: absorb 9 FTE people into TRIUMF budget. Difficult without optimal TRIUMF funding
• By ≈ 2015: run out of space – Urgently require satellite room with
electrical, cooling, network infrastructure – Cost is CAD $0.5 M
• Continued operation costs (network user fees, maintenance, power)
– ≈ CAD $1.5M over 5 years (2015-2020) not including personnel
• Computing hardware expansion (CPU, disk, tape): from CFI
2) Cdn ATLAS Upgrade Projects • Two areas have Canadian involvement in construction.
Project focus: maintain low lepton pT trigger thresholds in high pile-up environment, critical for Higgs boson studies – New Muon Small Wheel: TRIUMF, Carleton, McGill, Montreal, SFU,
UVic – LAr electronics: TRIUMF, UVic
• Also R&D for phase 2 upgrades – High Rate Forward Calorimetry: TRIUMF, Toronto, UVic – Inner Detector: UBC, Toronto, York, Montréal
• Timescales: – Phase 1 Infrastructure deployment/testing: now – Phase 1 Major construction starting 2015 – Phase 2 R&D : wrap-up by 2016-2017 for start of construction
• Projects depend on TRIUMF infrastructure and personnel – Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Technicians, Designers
• Expertise and experience: critical for our success • Positions are put in jeopardy in non-optimal funding scenarios

Phase 2: 2021/22 (LS3) for HL-LHC • Plan:
– Have new detectors ready for installation by 2021 – Requires full systems on surface for testing before 2021
• Canada: depend critically on TRIUMF infrastructure and personnel
• Until then – Vigorous R&D and prototyping program to understand engineering
issues • Currently strong support from TRIUMF, especially Engineering and
Detector groups
• Note: • European strategy confirmed HL-LHC is highest priority project
even if purely studying H(125) with 3000 fb-1. Project will go ahead.

Phase 2: 2021/22 (LS3) for HL-LHC
• LHC: planned delivery: 300-350 fb-1 before LS3 • LHC: ready to run at L p = 5x1034 cm-2s-1 with luminosity leveling after LS3 • Biggest project: construction of new inner detector (extensive R&D,
prototyping and engineering ongoing) • Calorimeter readout needs substantial upgrades
– Planned in stages, starting with Phase 1 • LAr endcaps might need to be opened for FCal work and/or HEC electronics
replacement – Final decision: 2015-2016
• Muon spectrometer upgrades in big wheel region • Existing electronics/computing/TDAQ will need upgrades to face additional
8—10 years of running • ATLAS will require 2+ years of shutdown for installation • Currently in R&D phase • Major construction starts: 2016-2017, depending on the system
28 3 November 2013 McPherson - Upgrades Overview
ATLAS Phase 1 : motivation • Key upgrades are driven by the need to keep trigger
thresholds as low as possible for H(125) studies – Key modes are Hγγ and associate production with W/Z
particles (with decays to leptons) – Keep low inclusive / di-object thresholds for e,µ,τ, γ
despite high pileup • Main upgrades
– NSW: better muon trigger, improved tracking – FTK: track information at start of HLT – LAr Digital Trigger: higher granularity – TDAQ: exploit topological info at level 1

New muon small wheels (more granularity)
Trigger rate reduction studied using data
~ 1/6 in 1.3<η<2.5
• Plan to replace muon small wheels with improved trigger capability: need <1mrad angular resolution and associated trigger vector capability

Projected Impact • What will likely result from this specific proposal?
– Knowledge Advantage? • Advancing our understanding of matter, mass, and the physics at the
transition where the universe’s “energy” became particles – Cdn calorimetry expertise ⇒ leadership in jets, missing energy
» Vector-boson Fusion Higgs, SUSY, top-quarks – People Advantage?
• ATLAS-Canada ~ 70 Canadian graduate students – Training in scientific methods, particle and radiation detection,
computing, grid and analysis tools is difficult to match – Most will use these skills in other disciplines and fields, increasing
Canadian science and technologies expertise – Entrepreneurial Advantage?
• History in particle detection R&D leading to applications in a wide variety of fields
• Grid computing, high performance computing centres, fast networking: driven by the LHC projects
– Scratching the surface of implications outside of particle physics McPherson ATLAS-Canada TRIUMF IRPC 32
