The Particle Physics Group 2005 and beyond
Welcome • • • Thorsten Rob Roger Un-ki Dave • • • Paul (M) Adriana Yibiao Joseph Remi Krisztian Panis Colin Jong Owen Paul(B) • • Chris Kim Phil James Simon Tim Yu Wei Jorge 2
Running Experiments • ATLAS: SCT modules complete • Ba. Bar: going strong • DØ: going strong • H 1: involvement comes to an end 3
New Experiments • CALICE • Super. NEMO • FP 420 • All had proposals approved by PPARC 4
Theory • Vibrant • Leading group for QCD phenomenology. Lots going on. • New developments in PP/cosmology 5
Other new grants • Euro. Tev • Grid Security • Eu. DET • EGEE-II PP brings in far more income than any other research group in the School, apart from Astronomy 6
More students • Number of PPARC standard studentships increasing from 3 to 4/year • Period of these also increasing from 3 years to 4 years Unwanted Christmas present? Need to think about opportunities and implications 7
Manchester Cockcroft • • 2 new lecturers New RA 2 new RAs to be appointed New student 3 7 ? ? Manchester presence beginning to be felt 8
Manchester Tier 2 • LARGE farm in Renold house Go and see it and be impressed Opening ceremony coming up • Big asset for group 9
Refurbishment • Move to 7 th and 2 nd floor complete We survived • Move to 5 th and 6 th floor on the way We will flourish 10
Invitation: Ideas We have many activities Christmas meeting, Masterclass, Website, If you have ideas about Library, Seminars, Offices, new things we could furniture, phones, mail do, or how we could (electronic), mail(physical), do things better – computing, Christmas party, don’t just sit on it: tell me about it. teaching, outreach… 11
Coming up: the Experimental Rolling Grant Application Our account to PPARC of what we’ve done with their money in the past 2 years, and request for the next 3 -5 years. Vital that we keep our existing posts – and hopefully get some more Need to get our ideas straight first… 12
Ray CALICE fraction slightly below PPARC commitment – but compensated by Julian super. NEMO and FP 420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 13
Julian CALICE fraction slightly above PPARC commitment – but compensated by Ray super. NEMO and FP 420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 14
Andrew Elvin CALICE fraction slightly above PPARC commitment super. NEMO and FP 420 fractions grossly over commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 15
Jo No existing FP 420 PPARC commitment ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 16
Steve Small CALICE fraction (5 -10%) needed – PPARC commitment and thermal modelling Greatly exceeds PPARC Super. NEMO commitment ATLAS fraction slightly under PPARC commitment 17
Scott Small CALICE fraction PPARC commitment but taken up by Marc Less than shortterm PPARC Super. NEMO commitment but more long-term. No PPARC commitment to FP 420 ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 18
Marc No CALICE PPARC commitment but this compensates for Scott Less than shortterm PPARC Super. NEMO commitment but more long-term. No PPARC commitment to FP 420 ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 19
Mike Perry There is a 10% CALICE PPARC commitment No PPARC commitment to FP 420 or Super. NEMO ATLAS fraction grossly under PPARC commitment 20
The projects Last 2 years are (presumably) inexact predictions 21
Assertions and questions • We have a major commitment to ATLAS. Our small number of ATLAS support FTEs is not incompatible with this • Adding some ‘blue-skies’ detector-driven projects is to be encouraged • How do we get into super-SCT? Our skill set does not match early-stage research into rad hard silicon • Should we commit to FP 420 electronics (Scott) AND mechanicals (Ray and Co. ) • How do we manage the ATLAS ring fence? 22
Discussion To be sorted out over the next few weeks – meanwhile: Happy New Year! 23
