6. January 21, 2003 6 U.S. ATLAS Budget Authority

7. January 21, 2003 7 Definitions for the Research Program  U.S. ATLAS Research Program is needed to support the ATLAS Experiment and especially our deliverables. It includes:  Maintenance and Operations (M&O) which includes:  Pre-operations: all activities until operations  Operations: Beams-on time ~8 months/year  Maintenance: Ongoing plus Beams-off time every 1-2 years of ~4 months  Upgrade R&D  Upgrade R&D is envisaged for the luminosity upgrade of the LHC 10 35 cm -1 s -1 –New more radiation hardened electronics: Pixels, Silicon Strips, LAr Front End Boards (FEB), LAr ROD upgrade, etc.  Physics and Computing  Installation (defined as inserting the U.S. ATLAS deliverable into ATLAS) is part of the Construction Project
