Overview of Milestones and Metrics

Key High Level dates

  • LHC schedule delayed 3 weeks. We now expect first beam in October and first collisions some time in November.
  • There will be no formal change in WLCG planning for data taking until the WLCG workshop on 9th July however in the light of

the above delay we will delay our freeze date to 31st August.

  • Data taking then expected to continue (with a 2 week stop for Christmas) through much of 2010. Alternative scenarios are being discussed.

PMB Experiment Reports

ATLAS

CMS

LHCB

1) Many Grid sites (Tier-2s so far) banned because they have been aborting pilots. Sites banned in the UK are Brunel and RAL-HEP. Possible bad publishing of information in the bdii, but investigations going on.

...

Outlook: 1 Billion event (minimum-bias) production proceeding - about 845 million events produced so far, at a rate of about 50 million events per day. User analysis as usual.

Hardware Deployment Report
