4Next for 2013 RRB Document

o The Document– Considerations• We are specifically asked for cost estimate and profile for Phase 2• Document will outline the scope and process to define it (longevity, studies,

cost and TC considerations), and provide cost scale • Not intended to be equivalent to Atlas LOI or pre-empt our TP in 2014• Document must encompass what will be in the TP

– Content• Introduce the document and the process (towards TP and TDRs)

consideration for scope…• Overview of physics program and motivations for upgrades• Longevity issues (how much detail?)• Scenarios and options under consideration• Describe subsystems conceptual designs and R&D status and needs• Discuss TC and common system considerations• Present cost and schedule

5Next for 2013 RRB Document

o Timeline – Present the document outline at MB/FB on July 4/5 (next week)– Initial cost information by July 2 (status report at MB/FB) – see later this

meeting– Meeting with each area to scrub cost estimates in middle two weeks of July.

This will be a fairly intense period.– V1 DRAFT document and cost exercise presented to MB July 29– Update with simulation studies - see later this meeting– Release to collaboration in mid August approval at Taipei Sept 9 – Final update with studies for ECFA workshop Oct 1-3

6Towards the Technical Proposal

Goal: submit document at LHCC meeting Sep 2014 , and RRB Oct Must be in CWR in July

Use Upgrade Weeks: Oct 21, 2013 - Apr 7, 2014 - Sep 1, 2014 Next Upgrade Week in Oct is 1/3 of the way there from now!– We need to scope the document appropriately

Propose to:o Organize October Upgrade Week sessions/plenaries to sections of the TP– Must also give more time to Phase 1

o Aim for not much more than 200 pages [?]. Proposed layout might be– main body: the message - overview and studies, cost & schedule… – technical appendices on simulations, Tracker, Endcap….etc

o Make DocDB repository for relevant documents– Post-DESY summaries: so far - ECAL, FDWG, FCTF…– RRB(2013) document and backup info– Working notes towards TP
