1. DESY CMS Group DESY has officially established a CMS (and ATLAS) group
membership: > 50% work on CMS
i.e. JM, Wolfram, Matthias, Hanna, students
all others remain member of H1, ZEUS, FLC, …
until further notice
JM has been appointed group leader
Account at DESY HH:
for travels, e.g. to CERN
and CMS specific investments
Team Account at CERN T158100
for items from CERN Store
you need an EDH account
signature JM or Wolfram (or M. Fleischer)
J. Mnich

2. DESY CMS Group Zeuthen: now CMS members based at Zeuthen
W. Lohmann, H. Nowak, + W. Lange + R. Schmidt (student)
NOTE: there is only ONE DESY CMS group
with people based at Hamburg, Zeuthen (and CERN)
Registration at CERN
need a CERN access card even for short stay at Meyrin site
now strictly checked at gates
JM is CERN team leader
Wolfram is deputy (can sign documents)
Offices at CERN:
bldg. 32 4B-20 and 3C-09
Wolfram & Matthias 5th floor bldg. 40
we should get office space in new
CMS Centre (PS area)
J. Mnich

3. People registered at CERN
as of today 21 DESY people registered with CMS
Note: physicists have to pay M&O contributions ≈ 10 kCHF/year
engineers, technicians, students are for free

4. Activities in CMS See May PRC talk for more details
We are supposed to write a little Strategy Document for our
directors (ATLAS did it already…)
MoA for the Maintenance and Operation of the CMS
Draft 3.1:
J. Mnich

(with Uni HH)
63th Meeting DESY PRC, May 2007
BRM: synergy with FCALof ILC detector
Other activities:
Contribution to CASTOR forward calorimeter
- design & construction for testbeam (summer 2007)
- connection to HERA physics (proton structure) 5
J. Mnich

6. Outlook and Plans 63th Meeting DESY PRC, May 2007
Future Plans of the DESY ATLAS & CMS groups:
ATLAS
Current activities will be continued
Largely intensify physics analysis work
Probably start some hardware contribution to the ATLAS
luminosity monitor (ALFA) with new manpower
Contributions to ATLAS upgrade are under discussion
63th Meeting DESY PRC, May 2007
CMS
Develop current activities
Plan contribution to CMS remote operation room at Meyrin
Investigate feasibility of remote operation room at DESY,
in particular for Data Quality Monitoring
Participation in detector upgrades (sLHC, …) will be
discussed in due time 6
