Inner detector

TRT commissioning and ATLAS runs: (MEPhI, PNPI, SINP MSU, LPI) The major effort was dedicated to commission the entire TRT as a complete part of the ATLAS detector and prepare for stable operation with the beam.14 combined and semi combined runs have been done during this year before start of the continues ATLAS operation.

Gas system:From Sept 25th TRT operates with the CO

2 cooling system in a standard

mode. A technique of the gas gain stabilization across the detector finalized and used as the standard operation mode of the TRT.

On Saturday 7 November protons went halfway around the LHC before being dumped as planned into a collimator, producing so-called "splash events" of muons which were recorded by CMS.Previous to this, the October Exercise by the Physics Object and Physics Anaysis Groups, with CMS Computing, readied the CMS Tier2 system for the first LHC collisions.

The first heavy ion beam going through ALICE was registered by PHOS on 23 October

17 events have been registered:5-6 particles (muons) go through PHOS in the beam direction, i.e. transversely to crystals, synchronizing with the ion beam in ALICE and releasing the energy of 20-50 MeV per crystal.

July 11 – 12, 2009 Participation in the injection test

Sensitivity of the T0 detector to the injection particles was demonstrated

The T0 detector operated as a trigger The calibration with the laser was confirmed to be correct,

though, as expected, the amplitude resolution with the injection particles was slightly worse as compared to that with the laser.

Two major challenges
