Dubna, Russia
1
Recommendations on New Projects



The PAC recommends approval of the project
“Astrophysical Studies in the NUCLEON space
experiment” for execution until the end of 2008.
The PAC recommends approval of the opening of the
new theme “Study of e+e- interactions, linear collider
physics and detector” for execution until 2008.
The PAC looks forward to receiving additional
information on the main research directions for the FAIR
project (e.g. PAX) at a future meeting
2
Recommendations on Current Experiments

The PAC appreciates the ongoing and planned studies at the LHC,
RHIC, and the Tevatron, and looks forward to their realization with active
participation from JINR physicists.


The PAC looks forward to a report at its next meeting to a report
concerning the software and computing activities being actively
carried out to allow JINR scientists to produce first scientific results
at the time of LHC start-up
The PAC recommends BLTP theoreticians to be more actively
involved in the preparations of the research programmes planned at
the LHC.

JINR in CMS Physics
The field of special interest of Dubna group is study of Drell-Yan
processes in the large invariant mass region
The idea is to test Standard Model calculations for muon pairs
Production up to the highest reachable invariant masses

Many theoretical predictions suggest possible violation of the SM

Unique opportunity to test the SM up to 3-5 TeV mass region (Tevatron
region is limited only of 0.8 TeV)

Studt facilitated by excellent performance of CMS Muon system

Possibility of strong theoretical support of this research program st

JINR plans for physics with CMS
At the stage of data taking and physics analysis JINR CMS project will be
organized as a joint effort of several groups from LPP, LHE, LPP and LIT
distributed following task forces:





Data taking and technical support group (LPP and LHC)
Input data control and processing (production) (P.Moissenz + 4,LPP)
Data processing (V.Korenkov + 5, LIT)
Physics analysis (S.Shmatov + 5, LPP)
Theoretical support (O.Teryaev, D.Bardin, BLTP)
These groups already exist, most physicists are below 35
Permanent weekly seminar in LPP, Wednesday, 15:00 (in plan
monthly meeting with other RDMS physicists)

Search for the HIGGS; Origin of Mass; Super Symmetry

Preparing to do science with ATLAS
Physical process simulations and new research proposals of the ATLAS-JINR
group were discussed at the both Workshops on the ATLAS physical program
(Dubna (April and November, 2004). The main topics are the following:
Search for the SM Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector via the process H → 4μ
(G.Chelkov, I.Boiko, K.Nikolaev, R.Sadikov)
Other Dubna proposals are to utilize the ATLAS large-mass Higgs
discovery potential by means of reactions H→2W→2l, or H→2W→l jj
(Yu.Kulchitsky) and H→2Z→2l , or H→2Z→lljj (V.Vinogradov) on
the basis of the already simulated ATLAS DC1 and DC2 data. The proposals
rely on the Higgs boson production via the Vector Boson Fusion mechanism
(the two accompanied forward jets allows very good background reduction)
and on the maximal Higgs boson decay rates into WW- or ZZ-pair at
MHIGGS = 400 -- 1000 GeV.

The resonance peak after
(K+K+) background subtraction.
Mass and width BW fit parameters
are respectrively:
1019.60 ± 0.04 MeV and
4.30 ± 0.12 MeV.
For the BW fit the gaussian effective mass resolution (1.23 MeV) has been taken
into account by a convolution of BW and gaussian functions..
The S/B increases from 0.5% at the lowest pT(K+K-) < 0.6 GeV/c to 6.2% at
the highest pt > 2.2 GeV/c with the significance (S / S + B ) equal to 120.

CMS Computing at JINR
Unprecedented LHC Research program can not be carried out with conventional
even most advanced computing facilities
1 CMS event = 1 MB
100-200 events will recorded in 1 sec
~ 21015 B/year (2 PetaB/year)
To support LHC Research programme the generation of computing network
organization based on GRID concept is under development (LCG project)
In JINR this activity has been started on the basis of LIT since almost the very
beginning of the CMS project
JINR is on of the founder of RDMS LHC Regional Computer Center
At present JINR computer facilities is very well integrated in the LCG project

Conclusions
 Preparations are underway to realize the benefit
of JINR’s contributions to the LHC and play a central role
in the scientific programs of CMS, ALICE, and ATLAS
 The exercise commissioned by the Directorate at the suggestion of
the Scientific Council to review the scientific priorities of
the projects within the context of a realistic budget is continuing
