Practicalities for the Induction Session, including P5 visit

• Anne Dabrowski (CERN)

Room: 503/1-001 - Council Chamber

Introduction

• Tiziano Camporesi (CERN)

Room: 503/1-001 - Council Chamber Overview of CMS objectives, “CMS detector design drivers” and “major decisions”, present detector - including magnet, results so far. Also include management structure (systems, coordination areas), role of the CB, decision-making process, long-term plan (including upgrades in Phase I and Phase II). Brief intro to LHC operations inc. lumi measurements and safety aspects (BRiL)

Tracking

• Frank Hartmann (KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (DE))
• Jay Hauser (Univ. of California Los Angeles (US))

Room: 503/1-001 - Council Chamber Overview of particle tracking using the pixels + tracker + muon detectors, including descriptions of each detector, alignment loop, project organizations, people. Needs input from AlCa, TK/MUON POG. Example results of performance - vertex location precision, pT resolution, 2-track separation, muon id efficiency, muon trigger efficiency etc. as functions of pileup (# vertices). Longevity & upgrades.

Weekly General Meeting Room: 222/R-001 The induction session will connect to the meeting room from the council chamber
