Why Leptons?1. That’s what you asked me to present.1. That s what you asked me to present.2. Michigan has a key role in the construction, operation of ATLAS Precision Muon Chambers3. Lepton signatures are “clean” (easy to trigger, select, low non-physics background)4. Excellent for benchmarking, calibrating, aligning (Z, W, J/ψ,…)

So we will be tagging and measuring them, anyway…5. History

Summary

Leptons in the LHCLHC Discovery Channels Primarily Leptonic

y

LHC Discovery Channels Primarily Leptonic• Clean signals, easy to identify, measure

CMS & ATLAS Optimized to Identify and Measure Leptons• Majority of $550M price tags went to Magnets, Spectrometryj y $ p g g , p y• Both detectors provide outstanding performance in resolution, efficiency

ReadinessThe Detectors are both more than 90% installed

• ATLAS Small Wheel Installation scheduled next week• CMS in similar situation

Test Beam, Cosmic Commissioning Successful• Detectors working essentially as expected

Steve’s PredictionsMajor Hurdles in 2008-2009

• Accelerator & Detector Debugging: These are complex devices.• Computing: These are also complex devices.

Discoveries in the first 2 years?Th l ti i “Wh t?”

MCTP, Ann Arbor - 6 Jan 2008 S. Goldfarb - University of Michigan LHC Leptons - Slide 28

• The only question is “What?”
