Basic principle of LHCb M&O Cat. A policy - Keep budget as constant as possible: - foresee what is foreseeable and budget for it; - provide a mechanism to compensate between “collision years” and “shutdown years”; - smooth as much as possible Online CPU replacement needs (“just-in-time” principle) and, in any case, smear their cost over a few years; - as LHCb is running to optimize physics throughput, effects on the related expenditures have to be carefully studied and taken into account for the coming years budgets BudgetExpenditures*Difference 2,5802, The strategy of asking to keep small surpluses as buffers for shutdown years has paid. *In kCHF 19/05/2015 SG2C.

D'Ambrosio, CERN In spite of an overspent exploitation result and missing contributions, the account is still positive, thanks to the previously buffered funds. Taking this in account, this has been sufficient to ensure no cash flow issues. Between end of 2014 and beginning of 2015, essentially all pluri-annual missing contributions up to 2014 included have come in (except part of Brasil and Ukraine). We warmly thank the efforts shown by our FAs. *Pluri-annual, in kCHF
Budget 2014 main lines (without Power) In general, we expect ~5 – 10 % cost increase in M&O cat. A, from a shutdown year with respect to a collision year. In 2013, the main deviations are on detector related and general services lines.

Online Replacement Strategy ONLINE replacements In 2014, we have reached a total sum of 1600 kCHF on the special “Online Account”*. These transfers constitute the base of our CPU replacement strategy. The acquisition of the farm bulk was finalized in end We needed ~2 MCHF to satisfy an order for ~1.7 MEuro. With the recent exchange rate shake, we need “only” ~1.8 MCHF. ~200 kCHF will be there to cover for likely 2015 missing funds.

D'Ambrosio, CERN As already pointed out in previous RRBs, we also make use of funds left in our Construction Common Accounts, which we kindly asked RRB to leave active (CERN- RRB ). This alleviated the expenditure load on M&O Cat.A during LS1 and allowed some further consolidation. Infrastructure 159 kCHF Consolidations
LHCb M&O Category A at Book Closing end 2014 (all in kCHF) - Det. Related: small anticipated overspending; further infrastructure consolidation funds have been taken from Construction Common Funds. - Secretarial aid: small overspending mostly due to secretarial rotation (due indemnities). - Core computing: relative overspending. This line is been increased to 190 kCHF from Online Sys. Man.: planned underspending by strategically delaying a position. This allowed a small overspending in hardware. Thanks to buffered funds from previous years, we expect no cash flow issues. 19/05/2015 SG7C.

19/05/2015 SGC. D'Ambrosio, CERN10 Forecast for 2016 and successive M&O Category A budgets The estimated budget for 2016 and following years will be examined together with the Scrutiny Group in the coming months. In principle, there are no main changes from 2015 to 2016 and successive years, which reflect the discussions from last year, agreed upon with the SG, and which are described in CERN-RRB and CERN-RRB and in line with the principle of keeping the budget as constant as possible over the years. However, also in view of the recent financial instabilities between important currencies, we shall try to re-optimize our budget and re-orient expenditures, to better include effects of currency fluctuations. To this end and with the help of the SG and the RRB, we expect that a solution will be found. We shall report on it in October. Is it possible to find a solution for all LHC experiments?
19/05/2015 SGC. D'Ambrosio, CERN11 Currencies Exchange Rates Issue: possible mitigations (specific LHCb) No easy solution In general: - No changes to the approved year budget should be carried out during the exploitation year (ex. change the budget of 2015 during 2015!!). - No special “discounts” to specific FAs… Mechanisms of “mitigation” can be thought: 1.as for budget underspending larger than 10%, rebate in year N+2 what effectively has been saved in year N; (constant budget, with rebates on contributions) 2.foresee during year N a most probable scenario and decrease of a suitable % the provisional budget for year N+1; (variable budget) 3.more?? In all cases, any type of “discount” will be on the whole budget and therefore will not offset the real extra-funds provided by the affected FAs. Of these two options, the first is by far the more efficient, as does not touch the constant budget principle, it just allows the underspending to be recycled as a rebate for FAs. It works also if the Euro appreciates on the CHF. Only it takes 2 years to show up … unless … Example for the present situation will follow.

Conclusions On the second year of LS1, a small overspending appears in our budget lines. Some consolidation work was budgeted on the Construction Common Funds. A Online position was strategically delayed. We are using the funds, buffered from previous years with the approval of RRB, to replenish the small deficit. Detector Related line show an overspending of ~6%. Core computing an overspending of ~6%. The farm has been entirely re-furbished with some non-anticipated returns due to the fluctuation CHF/EURO. A possible mechanism to mitigate exchange rate effects has been proposed. Cat.B funds and resources are healthy and they seem to have taken well the increased LS1 activities, thanks to well planned/anticipated expenditures (Calo, Muons and Outer Tracker). We register some delayed payments for some detectors (see RICH HPD refurbishing) which will be soon fulfilled. As Cat. B funds are mostly managed by the specific projects (largely euro-funded), we expect a decrease in their budgeted value as calculated in CHF. We will discuss all this with the SG and report at the October RRB. 19/05/2015 SG18C. D'Ambrosio, CERN
19/05/2015 SG19C. D'Ambrosio, CERN The LHCb Upgrade The LHCb Upgrade builds legally and technically on the framework offered by the MoU for LHCb construction (CERN-LHCb-RRB-D rev.). As a direct consequence, the MoU for M&O Cat.A will still provide the (technical and financial) framework for the M&O Cat.A Expenditures, unless non renewed and declared finished by the RRB and CERN. Addenda will complete and fulfil the already present structure in this case too. Addenda to this MoU are being written, submitted to and approved by the RRB, in order to complete/overwrite sections of the MoU. In such scenario we consider the LHCb Upgrade as a major consolidation of the present detector. Thus, on a first approximation only, we would continue with the same M&O Cat.A budget lines and levels as at present. A detailed and complete picture will not be ready before ~1.5 years from now.
