3. L1Calo Summary, Technical Proposal et al
The brief items
Office space at CERN
Re-optimisation of 104 offices will happen soon
Priority for people working on L1Calo operation in any group
Operational tasks
2011 guesstimates recently updates
More careful review at end of year
Cost sharing
Small, cheap new item to build, non-urgently
Papers, conferences
Thanks to Martin Wessels for a nice TIPP 2011 talk
One poster accepted at TWEPP (Eduard Simioni, GOLD)
Once again trying to re-invigorate publications
Upgrade
Amazingly brief for once
Because we arranged to have another meeting in July

4. L1Calo Summary, Technical Proposal et al
The longer items
Management roles
Report from Search Committee on Project Leadership
Many thanks to members of SC: Chris, Hans-Christian, Jim, Pete
Recommendations approved by Management Committee
From October 1st, for two years:
L1Calo Project Leader: Martin Wessels
L1Calo Deputy Project Leader: Steve Hillier
Martin will step down from his current Trigger Operation role in September
Steve will have ‘special responsibility’ for L1Calo Upgrade
Effort at CERN
Bruce summarized needs for operational support at CERN
Especially in view of experts deserting the ship
Ideally would like more back-up for Bruce and Martin in 2012
Permanent, experienced LTAs would be nice, but difficult to obtain
Need to transfer skills to available staff and students
Better documentation and training required

Items for your diary
Next L1Calo three-day meeting:
CERN: 19th-21st October
One week after next ATLAS week
We do not plan to make block booking
Reserve your hostel rooms now!
Please do it during this talk
You can always cancel later
Subsequent meetings
Early 2012, CERN, may try to repeat the Level-1 Upgrade meeting style of this week
Early July 2012, possibly QMUL, to be confirmed

8. L1Calo Summary, Technical Proposal et al
What we’ve learned this week
We have some of the needed simulation results
We should document conditions etc in COM note
But we’re still missing quite a lot
Samples for 5 x 1034
Suggestion of calorimeter-only production to help here
Proof of principle for many algorithms
We need to describe many more options in Phase-II

9. Consequences for Timescale
Hope to release Sections 1-3 in about one week
Still requires a many blanks to be filled and general editorial work
Opinion generally against something immediate, but it has to be very soon
Anything done on one week is still likely to be light on supporting evidence
Want to have this available to support LoI
Phase-II section needs a lot more work
I’m not convinced that’s just writing and simulation
Probably requires some strategic thinking too

10. Returning to Questions from Monday…
Is it a Technical Proposal? Probably Yes
Is it a few chapters of another document?
Perhaps the LoI? No
Who does it need to be approved by?
TDAQ, Upgrade organisation? Both, in that order
Will we still need a TDR? And when?
For Phase-I I hope not
For Phase-II Probably, but when?
How does ATLAS agree on Phase-II architecture?
Maybe we can make progress this week
But this forum is not enough I’m no clearer
