4. Oct 2010 CERN-Korea J. Schukraft 4 Korean Participation in ALICE Participating Groups:  Kangnung:  TOF assembly & commissioning, Muon arm operation, physics  Sejong:  Grid computing, physics  Yonsei:  TRD assembly and commissioning, physics  Pusan (replacing Pohang)  HMPID R&D and operation, physics  Kisti: (now applying as associate member)  ALICE-Korea GRID computing center Activity Report by Prof. IK Yoo

5. CCRC F2F 10/01/200855 ALICE KISTI T2 centre In stable operation since 2009 Providing 180 CPU cores and 30TB of disk storage

6. CCRC F2F 10/01/200866 KISTI Global Data Science Center Provides T1 services for ALICE Setup of centre completed (extremely efficient & quick !) Initial resources 144 CPU cores, 100TB disk, 100TB tapes Bandwidth to CERN (through GLORIAD) 200 MBps Additional Computing very important to ALICE (sign. shortfall of CPU resources expected)

13. Oct 2010 CERN-Korea J. Schukraft 13 ‘Upgrades’ ALICE essentially finished since mid 2008  2 detectors were added later and will be completed by end 2010/early 2011  TRD (Germany, Korea, + …)  EMCAL (US, France, Italy) EMCAL extension (‘DCAL’) (~ 40% of emcal)  approved in August 2010  US DOE, Japan, China, France  construction to be completed for installation in 2012 Longer term upgrade planning  several options are under study  improved vertex dets, forward calo, PID,..  Korean groups interested/participating  concrete plans require first HI data  upgrades to be presented & discussed in 2011

14. Oct 2010 CERN-Korea J. Schukraft 14 Summary Korean participation in ALICE: going very well !  increase in 2010 with 1 new associate member  participation in detector construction/operation/computing very effective  Korea well integrated and active inside the Collaboration
