Athens May 2003ATLAS Physics Workshop2 Overview  Scheduled ~ 40 days of cosmic running end 2006  Could also imagine cosmic running with only calorimeters earlier, and further running in January—March 2007 (machine cool down) IS IT USEFUL?  Study: Cosmic rates entering ATLAS cavern Hit or Geant “Digit” rate in different detector elements Calorimeter energy deposition (Triggers) (Offline Reconstruction)

Athens May 2003ATLAS Physics Workshop6 Cosmic  Flux  Two generators used so far PDG approximation formula Single muon flux (Energy, cos  ) Neglects muon decay-in-flight Fit to measured fluxes Code from Alois Putzer (ALEPH simulation) Agrees at few % level with measured fluxes  Allkofer et al, Phys. Lett. 36B (1971), 425; A. Dar, Phys. Rev. Lett. 51 (1983), 227 For E  > 50 GeV Agreement < 20% level between 2 generators  Third generator also under study (Soluk) “CORSIKA” full cosmic ray shower program Useful for cosmic ray physics studies with ATLAS Includes “multi-muon” events, not present in other generators
