# Presentation: 184353

## Welcome and Opening Comments

**Jerry Blazey**
**DO Collaboration Meeting**
**February 2004**

## Experiment Overview

**We are making steady and impressive progress**
**We returned from a successful shutdown very quickly and we have achieved **_**90%**_** efficiency! (slide) **
**Integration of systems successful**
**Luminosity 6.5%**
**FPD in routine operations (and now better supported because of increased travel support from Directorate). **
**STT fully integrated into readout**
**We have ~280 pb****-1**** of data recorded (slide)**
**Utilized both **_**on site and off site**_** processing: The entire 200 pb****-1**** pre-shutdown data processed and available for analyses. (slide)**
**The physics program is building steam**
**Run IIb upgrades are baselined, approved, and making excellent progress**
**Layer Zero**
**Trigger**

**We are keeping to our CY04 Goals!**

## Congrats to the 

**Congrats to the **
**entire ops crew!**

**Best Day:  2/19****	**
**2102nb****-1**** / 2300nb****-1  **** = 91.4%**
**Best Week:  2/13-2/19  **
**9461nb****-1**** / 10556nb****-1  **** = 89.6%**

**To Date:**
**360 pb****-1**** Delivered**
**278 pb****-1**** Recorded**

## Slide 4

## But There Are Challenges

**Operational support thin.**
**Room to improve data quality:  efficiency, calibration, feedback from physics to control room... the natural next step & necessary for precision results: W mass, top mass, A****FB****, photon physics...**
**Deployment of our trigger arsenal: must be completed to meet the challenge of increasing luminosity.**
**Integration of the Run IIb upgrades: must be carefully managed and planned.  **
**Continued development of computing  capabilities: must increase our processing, reprocessing, and MC generation onsite and offsite.**
**Publication of results**

## Change in Technical Organization 

- for a
- transition
- period

## Technical Integration

**T.I.C. has global oversight of operations, the upgrade, & data quality**
**establish priorities**
**focus resources where needed.**
**work with spokespersons acquiring additional resources to address specific problems and needs. **
**Primary role is to integrate:**
**Ensure smooth operation of the detector**
**Complete commissioning of all systems, while managing the impact on operations.**
**Maintain pace on finalizing IIb designs, continued fabrication**
**Focus and enhance data quality effort **
**Expand integration of detector efforts with other experimental functions (i.e., physics, algorithms, software & computing)**
**Tie more intimately to online operations, accelerate feedback to & from rest of experiment**
**Operations, upgrade, and data quality managed by the principals **
**This organization will strengthen the experiment. Please give your support to Jon, Dmitri, Vivian and Tom**

## A Few Words of Thanks

**	****None of this would be possible without Dmitri’s outstanding efforts as Run Coordinator over the past three years.**

## Upgrade Installation to Physics Task Force

**Need to seamlessly integrate operations and upgrade installation.**
**Develop plan for installation, technical commissioning, and physics commissioning of the upgrade components**
**Includes both project and non-project personnel**
**Outline of resources, timelines, sequence of events **
**Will be guided & assisted by Technical Coordinator, Upgrade Project Manager, and Algorithms Coordinator**
**Information will be used to inform spokespersons on timing and resource needs associated with upgrade installation**** **

## Other Appointments
