Symposium 25 Years of LHC Experimental Programme CERN, 15th December 2017

Historical Milestones for

Peter Jenni, CERN and the ATLAS Experiment Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg The plan is to comment a bit on: - History of the LHC experiment studies in general - Some early milestones leading to ATLAS as it is now - Some milestones of the ATLAS construction (pictures…) - Costs and funding, growth of the Collaboration - Note: will be covered by Valerio Dao - And in all cases, these are only examples

Drawing by Sergio Cittolin After the 1979 LEP White Book (ECFA-LEP WG chaired by A Zichichi) which mentioned the possibility of a far future LHC, and discoveries of the by UA1 and UA2 in the early 1980s …

1984 For the community it all started with the CERN - ECFA Workshop in Lausanne on the feasibility of a in the future LEP tunnel

1986 LAA R&D on new detector technologies started, later followed by the DRDC

1987 La Thuile Workshop Many LHC colleagues were already involved in this WS set up by Carlo Rubbia as part of the Long Range Planning Committee

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 ATLAS History 3 (CERN and Freiburg) Arguing after the mid-1980s of being ambitious and design a general purpose detector …

1st October 1992

ATLAS LoI submitted to the LHCC (Co-spokespersons Friedrich Dydak and PJ)

‘Official birth of the ATLAS Collaboration’

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 9 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) ATLAS History The ATLAS LoI was presented to the LHCC on 5th Nov 1992

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 ATLAS History 10 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) From the Letter of Intent The LoI still had two toroid options, one full iron and one all superconducting air-core

Shortly after ATLAS decided for the superior air-core magnet

Iron toroid option

Superconducting air-core option, initially with 12 coils, then redesigned with 8 coils

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) ATLAS History 11 First reaction of the LHCC to the LoI in December 1992: It was well received, but a long saga started for ATLAS about costs and funding …

One of many ingredients…

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 ATLAS History 12 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) ATLAS was then (June 1993) invited by LHCC to work out a Technical Proposal

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 15 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) ATLAS History But again, we were too expensive!

 Act two of cost reduction: an ATLAS-internal (‘Pilcher’) Task Force needed to work out a global descoping

A major ingredient was:

‘Reduction of detector dimensions and magnetic fields, leading to an adequate safety margin in the cavern size‘

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 ATLAS History 16 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) The Technical Proposal evaluations concluded by the end of 1995

It was a long way convincing the LHC Experiment Committee (LHCC), but finally, on 16th November 1995, our referees were happy, and Hugh Montgomery, ATLAS main referee at that time, gave us the following ‘official leak’ from the committee…

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 ATLAS History 17 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) From 1996 onwards ATLAS entered the phase of producing Technical Design Reports for all its systems

The formal construction approval was then given with the approval of the first TDRs, namely for the calorimeters

25y LHC Exp. Prog. 15-12-2017 42 Peter Jenni (CERN and Freiburg) ATLAS History The roles of ISTC (International Science & Technology Center) [and to a lesser extent INTAS (EU PF6)] were very important for ATLAS and its very fruitful partnership with the many Institutions in Russia and FSU states

From a 2002 ISTC ATLAS meeting summary:

… in this process the technological know-how of their partners in industry and former weapon institutes was a very important ingredient

Both, the projects with highly-acknowledged ISTC funding (typically for the R&D and prototype phases) and the Partner Projects (typically for benefiting from these investments for the construction), have been, and are, fundamental for the success of our collaboration with the Russian and FSU States partners

The ISTC projects are of clear mutual benefit for all partners, obviously for ATLAS, but also, as it should be, for the conversion Institutes

Three examples out of many more

HELEN has helped in a decisive way to foster and consolidate the very fruitful collaboration with Latin American colleagues and Institutions

In particular the contributions from students and young researchers are a strong asset to the experiment, in addition to the institutional strengthening of the Collaboration and its resources
