报告摘要：The ATLAS collaboration, consisting of 182 institutions from 38 countries, completed construction of the large multi-purpose ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and began data collection with colliding beams in 2010. The 45 institutions of US ATLAS made major and unique contributions to the construction and initial operation of the detector, and to the software and computing program development. The US ATLAS Operations Program aims to provide the necessary technical support for (1) the maintenance and operation of the US-built detector subsystems, (2) the maintenance and ongoing development of software and computing, (3) physics analysis for US physicists, and (4) an R&D program for detector upgrades to accommodate accelerator performance improvements. In this talk I will review the role of the US in ATLAS with particular focus on the Operations Program.
报告人简介：Dr. Cochran received his PhD from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1993. He is the Program Director for the high energy physics group of the Iowa State University working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Since 2013, Cochran has been the deputy manager of the ATLAS Operations Program, helping oversee the United States' contribution to ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, and manage contributions from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. Cochran and his colleagues have made important contributions to the silicon pixel detector of ATLAS. |
