Commissioning - 2007
• Commissioning of the front-end electronics– TPC
– PHOS
• Installation and commissioning of the HLT– Full connectivity
– 30% of computing power
• First pp collisions in summer 2007
• First PbPb collision in 2008
9
Running scenario
• First pp collisions in 2007
• 1 month per year heavy ion run
• 7 months per year pp
• Running schedule for the first 5 years– Regular pp runs at 14 GeV
reduced luminosity between 1029 and 5*1030 cm-2sec-1 which will leads to event rates from 10 kHz to 200 kHz
– 2-3 years PbPb collisionsluminosity of 5*1026 cm-2sec-1 which leads to an interaction rate of 4 kHz
– 1-2 years ArAr
– 1 year pPb like collisions

Data analysis – offline computing
• Scandinavian offline computing contributed through NDGF (Nordic Data Grid Facility)
• Agreed sharing ATLAS/ALICE 50%/50%
• ALICE computing needs approx. half of ATLAS but half the number of collaborators
• LCG resource status: 50% shortfall for ALICE

HENP after 2001
• ALICE running plan– pp or pp-like run at 5.5 TeV
– Light AA system
– dA
– Low energy PbPb
– Another high energy PbPb
• ALICE upgrades ?
• CBM at FAIR/GSI ?
• Astrophysics experiment ?
18
ALICE at LHC – Phase 2
Depending on physics results• Upgrades: detectors, FEE,
DAQ, trigger
• Example: detector covering large rapidities
• Probe initial partonic state in a novel Bjorken-x range (10-3-10-6):– nuclear shadowing,
– high-density saturated gluon distribution

CBM experiment at FAIR/GSI
• Facility for Antiproton and heavy Ions Research
• Planned commissioning: 2010 – 2015
• CBM experiment – super-dense baryonic matter– in-medium properties of hadrons
20
Dense Matter in the Universe
• Mergers of binary stars – the ultimate nuclear collision– evolution depends on the equation-of-state of the matter inside the
star – large differences between normal neutron stars and selfbound stars– different pattern of mass transfer– observable via gamma bursts, gravitational waves, ...? in 2020?

ISOLDE physics
• Isotope Separator On-Line DEvice
22
Physics program
• Experiments at REX-ISOLDE– Mass 80 region:
Neutron-rich nuclei approaching the doubly closed shell nucleus 78Ni
– Mass 132 region:important for r-process calculations
– Mass 230 region:Coulomb excitation -> collective features
» Nuclear shape» Multi-quasiparticle excitations
– Detectors» Gamma arrays like MINIBALL» Compact disc detector for the scattered beam
• Theory– Extreme, low-density nuclear states– Few– and many-body systems
