1. DT News CJ ‘Risk Management‘Mark Hatch DT Science-Techno Tea 12 September 2011

2. DT Personnel Job board for a mechanical engineer (replacement Diego Perini) took place 2 weeks ago. Several very good candidates. Decision next week (?). Job board for Tech. Engineer or Engineer (CP D or C) “Operation and upgrade of irradiation facilities” will be on 22 September. 5 candidates invited. Retirement: Contract of André Braem ended on 31 August after 45 (!) years of service.

3. Space Together with Barthelemy Gossuin from GS, we are working on a scenario of a new central DT building, which would allow to regroup large pasts of the DT activities and people in a single building. Study led by Ferdi Hahn. It shall lead to a cost and time estimate. Time scale 2-3 months. Time scale for a decision and implementation: “n” years. Storage: Clean-up of underground area in B162/169 at the end of July. Many thanks to B. Cantin, D. Fraissard, T. Gys, C. David, P. Carrie and, in particular, R. Kristic.

17. For comparison: in 2010 the two large experiments collected ~50 pb -1 LHC and the experiments continue to work VERY well. Peak luminosity beyond 1·10 33 / cm 2 ·s
