Paula Eerola, Lund University Beauty 2006, Oxford, September P. Jenni ATLAS Overview Week July 2006 A new LHC schedule and turn-on strategy was presented to the CERN SPC and Council June The main features of the new schedule are: The beam pipe closure date will be end of August LHC commissioning run with collisions at the injection energy (√s =900 GeV), scheduled November Luminosity typically L = cm -2 s -1. During the commissioning run at 900 GeV the LHC will be a static machine, no ramp, no squeeze, to debug the machine and the detectors. Then there will be a shut-down (typically 3 months) during which the remaining machine sectors will be commissioned without beam to full energy (√s = 14 TeV). After that the LHC will be brought into operation for the first physics run at 14 TeV, with the aim to integrate substantial luminosity by the end of 2008: goal several fb -1 by the end of New LHC machine schedule
Paula Eerola, Lund University Beauty 2006, Oxford, September The commissioning run b cross section dominates at both √s = 900 GeV and 14 TeV. At √s = 900 GeV the b fraction of total inelastic events is ~10 x smaller than at 14 TeV. The run in 2007 will primarily be a detector and computing commissioning run, much more than a physics run.

Paula Eerola, Lund University Beauty 2006, Oxford, September Conclusions for the commissioning run Heavy flavours b and c will be a source of ~4.7k single muons and ~370 di-muons given 30 days of beam (30% machine and data taking efficiency). Soft LVL1 single-muon trigger can be used to select those events. High-level trigger in pass-through mode. The dimuon sample includes about 90 J/ and 130 – can serve for first tests of mass reconstruction. Any heavy flavour physics? Low statistics will not allow separating direct and indirect J/ sources. S/B a factor of 10 worse than at the nominal LHC c.m. energy. Muons from hadron decays dominate the trigger rate due to worse S/B and softer spectrum. The ratio of J/ and events may be the best bet.
Paula Eerola, Lund University Beauty 2006, Oxford, September The first physics run: B-physics strategies - Serve as a tool for understanding the trigger and the detector: calibration, alignment, material, magnetic field, event reconstruction. - Physics: cross-section measurements at new energy - QCD tests and optimization of B-trigger strategies. - Control B-channels will be used to verify if we measure correctly well known B-physics quantities (with increasing integrated luminosity real measurements). - Control B-channels will also be used to prepare for high- precision B-measurements and searches for rare decays: tagging calibration, production asymmetries, background channels specific for rare decays.
