ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

Memorandum of Understanding
for Maintenance and Operation of the ATLAS Detector
between
The EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH,
hereinafter referred to as CERN, Geneva, as the Host Laboratoryon the one hand
anda Funding Agency/Institution of the ATLAS Collaborationon the other hand.

Preamble(a) A group of Institutes from CERN Member and non-Member States, and CERN, hasagreed to collaborate to form the ATLAS Collaboration. This Collaboration has
proposed to CERN an experiment to study particle interactions at the highest
possible energies and luminosities to be reached with the Large Hadron Collider(LHC). These Institutes have secured the support of their Funding Agencies toenable them to participate in the ATLAS Collaboration.
(b) Agreement to this Collaboration has been effected through the signature ofMemoranda of Understanding (RRB ATLAS-D 98-44 rev.) between each Funding
Agency or Institute, as appropriate, in the Collaboration and CERN as the Host
Laboratory. These Memoranda of Understanding for construction (Construction
MoUs) collectively define the Collaboration and its objectives, and the rights andobligations of the collaborating Institutes in construction matters during theconstruction period.
(c) In their Article 6.6, the Construction MoUs specify that the responsibilities for the
maintenance and operation (M&O) of the ATLAS detector are to be laid down in a
separate Memorandum of Understanding on maintenance and operation
procedures (M&O MoU), to be signed by all the Parties. Agreement is effected as
for construction, i.e. through Memoranda of Understanding between each Funding
Agency or Institute, as appropriate, in the Collaboration and CERN as the Host

Laboratory. While the Construction MoUs remain valid, their provisions takeprecedence over those of the M&O MoUs.
(d) The Resources Review Board (RRB) referred to in Preamble (g) of the Construction
MoU is defined therein to have the following roles with respect to M&O :•reaching agreement on a maintenance and operation procedure andmonitoring its functioning•

endorsing the annual maintenance and operation budgets of the detector

The management of the Collaboration reports regularly to the RRB on technical,
managerial, financial and administrative matters, and on the composition of the
Collaboration.
(e) The present M&O MoUs are not legally binding, but the Funding Agencies andInstitutes recognise that the success of the experiment depends on all members of
the Collaboration adhering to their provisions. Any default will be dealt with in
the first instance by the Collaboration and if necessary then by the RRB.

Article 1 : Annexes
1.1

1.2

Annexes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 shall be identical to Annexes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 (including
any amendments thereto) of the Construction MoU. When the latter ceases to bevalid, amendments to these Annexes shall be made in accordance with theprovisions of this M&O MoU.

Article 2 : Parties to this MoU
2.1

The Parties shall be all the Institutes of the Collaboration as listed in Annex 1 andtheir Funding Agencies, and CERN as the Host Laboratory. Annex 2 lists theFunding Agencies and their duly authorised representatives. The Funding
Agency may be an Institute or an established institution acting on behalf of one ormore Institutes.

2.2

Article 3 : Purpose of this MoU
3.1

This MoU addresses the pre-exploitation and exploitation phases of the ATLAS
detector. Its purpose is to define the procedure for determining the maintenanceand operation (M&O) costs in these phases along with the mechanisms by which
they are reviewed and by which the charges and responsibilities for the executionof this work are distributed amongst the Parties. It sets out organisational,
managerial and financial guidelines to be followed by the Collaboration. It does
not address the offline computing needs of the Collaboration. These will thesubject of a separate Memorandum of Understanding for LHC Computing as
described in the document "Proposal for Building the LHC Computing
Environment" (CERN/3279 Rev.).

3.2

Exploitation refers to the time after data-taking for physics has commenced at the
LHC. Pre-exploitation refers to the time before this and in particular, forindividual sub-detector/system components of the ATLAS detector, to the timeafter they have been commissioned.

3.3

M&O comprises all of the actions needed to fulfil the ATLAS Collaboration
co-ordination function and to operate and keep in good working order theindividual components of the ATLAS detector, along with their respective
infrastructure and facilities.

3.4

The ATLAS project is executed in the normal framework of the CERN scientificprogramme, approved by the CERN Council and subject to the bilateral
Agreements and Protocols between CERN and non-Member States.

3.5

In case of conflict between relevant Co-operation Agreements or Protocols enteredinto by CERN and the present MoU, the former prevail.

Article 4 : Duration of this MoU and its Extension
4.1

The initial period of validity of this MoU covers the pre-exploitation phase of the
ATLAS detector and the expected first five years of physics running, i.e. from
1 May 2002 to 31 December 2011.

4.2

The validity of this MoU will be extended automatically at its expiry for successive
periods of five years beyond the initial period unless the RRB determines
otherwise. This provision notwithstanding, the MoU will automatically cease to
be valid when the LHC programme is declared closed by the CERN Council.

28 March 2002

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

4.3

The provisions of this MoU will apply to elements of the ATLAS detector as they
begin to incur M&O costs, as distinct from the costs that belong to theconstruction phase and are defined in Article 2.2 of the Construction MoU.

4.4

Any Funding Agency may withdraw its support from the Collaboration by giving
not less than eighteen months notice in writing to the Collaboration and the
Director General of CERN. In such an event, reasonable compensation to theCollaboration will be negotiated through CERN and confirmed by the RRB.

4.5

Any Institute may withdraw from the Collaboration according to the procedures
agreed by the Collaboration, subject to the General Conditions for Experiments
Performed at CERN (Annex 3), and by giving notice in writing to its Funding
Agency.

4.6

Any Institute that joins the Collaboration in accordance with the Collaboration
rules during the period of validity of this MoU shall accept the agreements inforce and will be expected to make an appropriate contribution to the M&O. This
will be negotiated by the Collaboration (which reserves the right to request
additional contributions from such Institutes) and endorsed by the RRB.

Article 5 : The ATLAS Detector and Collaboration
5.1

The detector for the ATLAS experiment has been described in detail in theTechnical Proposal submitted to the LHCC in December 1994 and in thesubsequent sub-detector/system Technical Design Reports. It consists of anumber of sub-detector/system units as listed in Annex 4.

5.2

The current management structure of the Collaboration is described in Annex 5.

5.3

The technical participation of the Institutes in detector construction, grouped by
Funding Agency, is set out in Annex 6.

5.4

The Collaboration shall update Annexes 5 and 6 annually to reflect the situationon 1 January of the current year.

Article 6 : Responsibilities of the Institutes for the Maintenance andOperation of the ATLAS Detector, and of CERN as Host Laboratory
6.1

Responsibility for the M&O of the ATLAS detector rests jointly with the
Collaboration as a whole and with CERN as Host Laboratory, within the General
Conditions for Experiments Performed at CERN. It is a fundamental principle

28 March 2002

Page 4

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

that each Institute within the Collaboration shall participate in both maintenanceand operation and contribute a fair and equitable share of common costs.
6.2

It is also a fundamental principle that an Institute, which has contributed acomponent of equipment, will also contribute to the necessary scientific andtechnical manpower support to operate that component and maintain it in goodworking order.

6.3

Within the fundamental principles set out in Articles 6.1 and 6.2 above, theCollaboration shall, for each M&O cost item, decide whether the cost is to beborne at the common expense of the Collaboration or not. The M&O cost items
are thereby divided into two categories :6.3.1 Common Items, comprising those costs that the Collaboration has agreed
to bear at its common expense, and6.3.2 Sub-detectors/systems that are the responsibility of individual Institutes orgroups of Institutes.

6.4

Annex 7 lists the M&O cost items agreed by the Collaboration to be Common
Items.

6.5

Annex 8 lists for the second category, by sub-detector/system, the deliverables
provided by the Institutes, the CORE value of these deliverables and the sharing
among Institutes. Also summarised are the CORE values of the deliverables forparticular sub-detectors/systems by Funding Agency.

6.6

The general obligations of CERN in its role as Host Laboratory and of theInstitutes (including CERN in this role) are contained in the General Conditions
for Experiments Performed at CERN (Annex 3), which in case of contradiction or
ambiguity shall prevail over the main body of this MoU.

Article 7 : Maintenance and Operation Categories
7.1

The M&O expenses can be divided into the following three categories :7.1.1 Category A. M&O expenses that are shared by the entire Collaboration(cf. Article 6.3.1 above). Annex 9 lists the headings under which
Category A costs are categorised.
7.1.2 Category B. M&O expenses that are borne by part of the Collaboration,i.e. by single Institutes or groups of Institutes, and their Funding Agencies(cf. Article 6.3.2 above). The headings in this category are defined withreference to the distribution of responsibilities amongst the various
Institutes for the construction of the ATLAS Detector as given in Annex 8.

28 March 2002

Page 5

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

Annex 10 lists the headings under which Category B costs are categorised
and the Institutes concerned.
It is agreed that an Institute having responsibility under a Category B
heading will contribute to providing the necessary financial, scientific andtechnical support, as well as replacement or spare parts, for normal
operation of that equipment and for the routine maintenance needed tokeep it in good working order. If problems arise that require major
modifications, responsibility will lie with the Collaboration as a whole. The
Collaboration will propose on a case-by-case basis the events to which thisprovision will apply. The proposal will be submitted for approval to thenext RRB meeting, which will also be asked to approve the provision of thenecessary resources.
7.1.3 Category C. General maintenance and operation expenses that areprovided to the Collaboration by CERN, acting in its role as Host
Laboratory. Subject to the General Conditions for Experiments Performedat CERN (Annex 3), these are more precisely described in the list given in
Annex 11.

Article 8 : Approval and Oversight
8.1

Oversight of the M&O costs for the ATLAS detector shall lie with the RRB, which
will meet normally twice per year, in spring and autumn. The RRB shall have theresponsibility for approving the levels and sharing of the Category A costs. It
shall also approve the overall level of Category B costs and the sharing of thesecosts as proposed by the Collaboration.

8.2

The RRB shall be assisted in this aspect of its work by a Scrutiny Group that itshall appoint. The role of the Scrutiny Group is to analyse critically the
Collaboration's M&O reports and estimates, refine the Category A estimates in
consultation with the Collaboration and advise the RRB on the course of action to
take.

8.3

The Scrutiny group shall operate according to the procedures set out in Annex 12.

Article 9 : Cost Sharing
9.1

Subject to exceptions that may be agreed on a case-to-case basis by the RRB, thefollowing guidelines are agreed for the sharing of M&O costs :9.2

For Category A, the costs are to be shared amongst the Funding Agencies orInstitutes in proportion to the number of their scientific staff holding PhD or

28 March 2002

Page 6

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

equivalent qualifications who are entitled to be named as authors of scientificpublications of the Collaboration. To this end, the Collaboration shall maintain alist, by Funding Agency and Institute, of these persons (Annex 13). The
Collaboration shall update this list annually to reflect the situation on 30
September. The updated list is to be ready in time for the autumn meeting of the
RRB (see Article 10.1 below).
9.3

Funding Agencies or their Institutes must normally pay their share of Category A
costs in cash. In exceptional circumstances some of the Category A costs could
eventually be paid in kind with the agreement of the RRB, subject always to aminimum fixed cash amount per Institute. In such cases the cash value attributed
to the in-kind contribution shall also be agreed by the RRB. The Collaboration
shall propose annually to the RRB the minimum fixed cash amount to be appliedin the following year.

9.4

CERN will pay from its operating budget the energy costs falling on Member
States. In recognition of the contributions made to the construction of the LHC
machine by some non-Member States, CERN will treat these countries in amanner analogous to Member States and will partially pay the energy costs thatfall on their Funding Agencies and Institutes.
The non-Member States for which CERN will partially pay the energy costs arelisted in Annex 14.
CERN Management shall propose annually in its Medium Term Plan (TheScientific Activities of CERN and Budget Estimates for the Years n - n+3) the
overall size of these energy payments for the following year, so that they may beincorporated in the M&O budget presented to the RRB for approval in October.
The payments are shared amongst the countries concerned according to a
formula, the current version of which is explained in Annex 15. Any
modifications to the arrangements for these payments will also be proposed in thecontext of the Medium Term Plan.

9.5

For Category B, the costs are to be shared by the Funding Agencies and Institutes
concerned in a manner that the Collaboration shall propose to the RRB.

9.6

For Category C, the costs are paid by CERN from its operating budget.

9.7

The boundary between Category A and Category B costs is determined by the
Collaboration as explained in Article 6.3 above. Category C costs are determinedby the CERN Director General, having regard to the General Conditions forExperiments Performed at CERN and, in particular, the need to provide a safe
and secure environment for the operation of the ATLAS detector.

CERN-RRB-2002-035

Article 10 : Procedure
10.1 Proposals for providing and sharing Category A M&O costs according to thecriteria set out in Article 9 above, including the proposal for the minimum fixedcash amount per Institute, will be drawn up annually by the Collaboration andsubmitted to the RRB at its spring meeting. At the same meeting, theCollaboration will report on Category B costs and on the proposed responsibilities
and commitments for these, while CERN will report on Category C costs. The
information for all Categories will comprise the M&O expenses for the previous
year and the proposals for the following year, along with estimates for the threesubsequent years. The Scrutiny Group will then operate during the summer, withthe aim of agreeing the estimates for Category A for the following year, so thatthey can be endorsed at the autumn meeting of the RRB. It will also make criticalcomment on the arrangements for Category B costs.
10.2 The RRB will approve the M&O budget for the following year at its autumn
meeting.
10.3 Unless explicitly mentioned, all proposals and estimates are to be expressed in
Swiss Francs, using the calculated CERN index for materials cost variations.
10.4 For Category A expenses, a common Maintenance and Operation account (M&O
Account) will be opened in the name of the Collaboration. All payments made by
CERN on behalf of the Collaboration and the related receipts will be shown inthat account.
10.5 CERN will issue invoices in Swiss Francs to the Funding Agencies of the
Collaboration for their M&O contributions. The detailed procedure for thepayment of Category A contributions is set out in Annex 16.
10.6 For Category A, the Resources Co-ordinator (see Annex 5) and other named
individuals as necessary will be authorised by the Collaboration to signcommitments and payments relating to the above-mentioned account within thelimits of the agreed annual budget for Category A. The authorised signaturelevels for these persons will be subject to the standard CERN rules for Team
Accounts.
10.7 The Resources Co-ordinator shall report annually to the autumn meeting of the
RRB on the functioning of the M&O arrangements for Categories A and B, andshall point out any cases of default (see Article 12.3 below). At the same meeting
CERN Finance Division shall report on the status of the Collaboration accounts
for Category A and those parts of Category B for which accounts exist at CERN.

10.8 If, for any reason, the RRB should fail to reach agreement on the M&O costs or on
their sharing, the arrangements that it last agreed will continue to apply until
agreement is reached.

Article 11 : Rights and Benefits of Institutes
11.1 The Institutes participating in the Collaboration are entitled to join the preexploitation and exploitation phases of the project and to participate in thescientific exploitation of the data acquired. Further details are set out in the
document “General Conditions for Experiments Performed at CERN” (Annex 3).

Article 12 : Administrative and Financial Provisions
12.1 General financial matters and purchasing rules and procedures for the LHC
experiments, including the rules that apply for Common Fund operations, aredealt with in accordance with the "Financial Guidelines for the LHC
Collaborations" (CERN/FC/3796).
12.2 Under the provisions of the CERN basic Convention dated 1st of July 1953 andrevised on 17 January 1971, any Institute's staff and property located at CERN
shall be subject to the authority of the CERN Director-General and shall comply
with the CERN regulations.
12.3 Default on provision of the agreed contributions for M&O shall engage theprocedure for resolution of disputes described in Article 14.1 below and may
result in specific action against the defaulter. Should the outcome of the dispute
resolution procedure imply a loss of M&O contributions to the Collaboration, thequestion of recovery from the loss is for the RRB to address.

Article 13 : Amendments
13.1 The Collaboration will make every effort to ensure that the information containedin the Annexes to this MoU is kept up-to-date. To this end it shall review the
information at least annually in time for the autumn meeting of the RRB.
13.2 This MoU may be amended at any time with the agreement of its signatories or of
their appointed successors. Any such amendments will be subject to the prioragreement of the RRB.

Article 14 : Disputes
14.1 As indicated in the Preamble (e), the primary mechanism for resolution of any
disputes shall be negotiation within the Collaboration n
i the first instance andthen if necessary in the RRB. Should these fail to conclude, the following threemechanisms shall apply, as appropriate. Any dispute between Funding Agencies
shall be resolved by negotiation or, failing that, by arbitration through the
President of the CERN Council, who will use defined arbitration procedures
where they exist and will otherwise adopt one at his or her discretion. Any
dispute between a Funding Agency and CERN will be resolved using standard
CERN procedures for the resolution of such disputes. Any dispute between
Institutes will be resolved according to Collaboration procedures.
14.2 It is understood that any issues that have arisen during the lifetime of theConstruction MoU shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations laid
down in this M&O MoU. No party shall be entitled under this M&O MoU to
reduce, retain or set-off any obligation due under the Construction MoU.

Annex 5 : Management Structure of the ATLAS Collaboration.
The organisation of ATLAS with present holders of central management
positions, is shown in annex 5.1. It is described in annex 5.2 and is based on
the three documents, annexes 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5, approved by the Collaboration
Board.
On 7 March 1997 the Collaboration Board approved three additions to thisorganisation: conditions for institutions joining after 1996 (annex 5.5),
conditions for suspended membership (annex 5.6) and on the exclusion of
institutions from ATLAS (annex 5.7).
Annex 5.8 describes the procedures for admission of new institutions.
The overall construction, installation and commissioning task of ATLAS isformalised in a system using a Product Breakdown Structures (P.B.S.) and atask list which together produce a Work Breakdown Structure (W.B.S.). The
W.B.S. consists of work packages which together fully describe the complete
project.

PolicyThe full collaboration has week-long meetings (ATLAS Weeks) four times a year. The general forum, thePlenary Meeting (PM), and the policy deciding body, Collaboration Board (CB) assemble at these occasions.
Systems give overview presentations at the PM and issues to be decided in the CB are presented and openly
debated first in the PM before being brought up at the CB for decision. The decisions in the CB are taken by
consensus or vote. All votes are open except those concerning persons, e.g. the Spokesperson or CB chair
elections. Each institution of ATLAS is represented in the CB and has one vote. Larger institutions can attheir discretion have two persons in the CB, but still with only one vote. The exact rules for CB decisions
and elections can be found in [1]. The Executive Board (see below) members are ex-officio at the CB.
The CB chairperson can have an Advisory Group to help prepare the agenda. The Advisory Group isnominated by the CB-chair and elected by the CB for the duration the chairpersons office. The Advisory
Group also prepares the Spokesperson elections and is the body where especially sensitive issues can bebrought up, e.g. issues concerning persons in the executive organisation. The ATLAS Spokesperson, Deputy,
Resource and Technical Co-ordinators are in attendance in the Advisory Group, but the CB-chair can decideto hold some meetings without these people present.
The CB can form Overview Boards to monitor the development of crucial items. Currently, the only example
is the Magnet Overview Board monitoring the largest common project item in the experiment, the magnets.
The Resource Review Board, RRB, is the body where the ATLAS resources are approved upon proposals
from the collaboration, and monitored. It is composed of representatives of the national funding agencies,
the CERN management and the ATLAS management. It is chaired by the CERN Director of Research. The
RRB discusses the different national contributions and the Memoranda of Understanding. In-kind
contributions to the Common Projects have to be approved in the RRB.
The formal commitments to the ATLAS construction are made through the Memorandum ofUnderstanding signed by the funding agencies and CERN.

Overall Execution
Having clearly defined System interfaces and guide-lines for organisation [2], performance and technical coordination allows Subsidiarity to be a governing principle for the execution of ATLAS; the decision making
is done when possible at the System level. However, global directives, approvals and monitoring have to
be done centrally to ensure overall physics performance, a synchronous time schedule, integratability, anduniform hardware and software quality in the project.
The Spokesperson is the highest level executive of ATLAS, and as such has the overall responsibilityof the ATLAS execution. He or she organises the day-to-day execution of the project. He or she represents
the ATLAS executive branch at the CB and is the ATLAS contact to the outside world and the CERN
management. The Spokesperson may have one or two deputies. Technical co-ordination is delegated to a
Technical Co-ordinator and resource co-ordination to a Resource Co-ordinator. Both are CERN staff. The
Technical Co-ordinator monitors the technical aspects of the construction of the System, is responsible forthe detector integration, for the overall construction of the detector and of the experimental area, and forcommon project issues. The Resource Co-ordinator monitors and manages the financial and humanresources of the collaboration.
Appointments are done in consultation with the CERN management for the Spokesperson, and inagreement with the CERN management for the Technical and Resource Co-ordinators.
About once a month the Executive Board (EB) meets. The EB is the main body for directing theexecution of the ATLAS project and for direct communication between the ATLAS management and the
Systems. It monitors the execution of the individual Systems and discusses matters involving several
Systems. The EB meetings are prepared by the Spokesperson who chairs them. The EB is composed of:

28 March 2002

Page A5. 4

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

The ATLAS management (Spokesperson, Deputy Spokesperson, Technical Co-ordinator andResource Co-ordinator)
The System Project Leaders and for some Systems additional representation depending on theirsize and complexity.
The Magnet Project Leader
Technical co-ordination staff (in attendence)
Up to two additional individuals chosen to ensure an overall balance in the complete EB.
The CB Chairperson and Deputy as ex-officio

The contact between the ATLAS management and the national funding agencies is maintained via anancillary structure of National Contact Physicists relating to the Spokesperson and the Resource Co-ordinator.

In difficult cases, e.g. when major technology choices have to be made, a review panel can be appointed.
Such a panel is chaired by an ATLAS physicist not directly involved in the issue.

System Interaction with the ATLAS Management
An ATLAS System roughly correspond to a performance task. It is a major activity involving a set of
institutions which will produce hardware and software. A System is constrained by a performance
specification and the integration requirements of the whole experiment, and has to work inside ageometrical envelope and a cost ceiling. This is specified in its Technical Design Report (TDR). The original
version of the TDR is submitted to the LHCC for construction approval. It defines the design, production
procedure including quality assurance, maintenance, commissioning and sharing of responsibilities. This
includes the formal breakdown structures that are linked to the highest levels of the ATLAS breakdown
structures, and the scheduling that is included in the overall ATLAS project planning.
The internal ATLAS TDR approval procedure is the guarantee that the System is coherent with theoverall ATLAS organisation and quality. The TDRs are regularly revised to be consistent with the Systembeing constructed. Depending on the level of changes the revision approvals are done at the System levels,by the technical co-ordination, the Spokesperson or the EB. Changes that could have a major impact on theexperiment have to be approved by the CB.
The Project Leader regularly communicates the System status to the ATLAS management andtechnical co-ordination.
The ATLAS management regularly discuss with the Project Leader questions relevant to the System
execution and resources.

System Execution
General Organisation
The large number of institutions and people involved necessitates a management structure. This
management has to have the solid support in the System collaboration and an excellent working
relationship with the central ATLAS management team. The day-to-day System execution is lead by the
Project Leader who is usually a member of the ATLAS Executive Board. The System has a Steering Groupand an Institute Board. If it is convenient for the System, these bodies can be combined in order to be able to

28 March 2002

Page A5. 5

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035

carry out the steering and decision making in one group. The Project Leader is the System representative
within the ATLAS organisation.

Steering Groups
Each System has a Steering Group reflecting the range of activities within itself and bringing together thepeople leading these efforts. The Steering Group takes decisions on technical execution matters and makerecommendations to the Institute Board on major technical choices and on matters of sharing resources andresponsibilities. The Steering Group is chaired by the Project Leader who prepares its agenda. Its members
are nominated by the Project Leader based on broad consultation in the System community and approvedby the Institute Board. The frequency of Steering Group meetings shall be sufficiently high to ensure theeffective leadership of the System execution. The Project Leader shall routinely consult the Steering Group
whenever significant issues arise. The ATLAS management members are ex-officio in all Steering Groups.

Institute Boards
Each System has an Institute Board. The Institute Board takes decisions on major technical choices and on
sharing of resources and responsibilities. Major technology choices affecting the overall performance of
ATLAS have to be brought forward to the collaboration as a whole for decision in the Collaboration Board[1]. The institutions are the source of money and manpower, and therefore all major questions involving
sharing of responsibilities and contribution of resources have to be agreed upon by the Institute Board. The
Institute Board also proposes the Project Leader candidate for approval by ATLAS, and approves theSteering Group composition. In major matters concerning resources the Institute Board shall invite the
ATLAS Resource Co-ordinator.

Sub-System
Each System may be broken up into smaller organisations, Sub-Systems, which in some cases may more
directly correspond to the direct detector construction tasks. These Sub-Systems may well have theirinternal organisations with Project Leaders, Steering Groups and Institute Boards as described in the Systemorganisation. However, the formal lines of responsibilities go through the System Project Leader.

ATLAS Project Leaders
Appointment
The Project Leader candidate is nominated by the System participants, short-listed by the Steering Group,
elected by the System Institute Board, proposed by the spokesperson to the Collaboration Board andapproved by it. The appointment is for two years with the possible extension according to the ATLAS
organisation rules[1].

MandateThe Project Leader is the person directly and ultimately responsible to the ATLAS collaboration, for
ensuring that the design and construction of the corresponding System are carried out on schedule, within
the cost ceiling, and in a way that guarantees the required performance and reliability, within theframework of the ATLAS resource planning. He or she collaborate closely with the ATLAS technical andresource co-ordination. The Project Leader shall bring up to discussion, with the ATLAS management,
incompatibilities between the requirered project development and the available resources.
While the responsibility to the ATLAS collaboration remains at all times with the Project Leader, heor she may choose to delegate some tasks, or to appoint people such as project engineer, electronics project

Preamble

The ATLAS Organization shall be guided by the following principles:• democracy;• separation of policy-making and executive powers;• minimal formal organization;• limited terms of office.

2

Plenary Meeting

The Plenary Meeting is the forum of the all-hands discussion. All major ATLAS
decisions concerning• physics objectives and results;• hardware and software design;• organizational mattersmust be discussed in the Plenary Meeting and, if appropriate, in its subordinate
Working Group Meetings.

Collaboration Board

The Collaboration Board is the policy- and decision-making body of the ATLAS
Collaboration.
Typical tasks of the Collaboration Board will be:• decisions on the global detector design;• policy matters (guidelines for the interaction with the LHC Committee and the CERNManagement, publications, presentations etc.);• financial and human resources;

28 March 2002

Page A5. 8

ATLAS COLLABORATION - MoU for M&O

CERN-RRB-2002-035• elections;• ATLAS organization;• ATLAS membership.
Members of the Collaboration Board are:• in general one representative per institution; however, institutions may have, at theirdiscretion, up to two representatives;• members of the Executive Board (ex officio).
Each participating institution has one and only one vote.
Decisions require a 2/3 majority of the institutions represented during the vote. A
quorum of 50% (including procurations) is required. Voting representatives can carry
not more than 2 procurations in addition to their own vote.
In case a 2/3 majority cannot be obtained another vote has to be arranged for a later
date with the aim of obtaining a 2/3 majority at that time. If this majority still cannot
be obtained a further vote with a relative majority (abstentions not counted) will decide.
Elections will follow the subsequent procedure:
1. A candidate is elected in the first round if he or she obtains the absolute majority of
the represented institutions. If no candidate obtains this absolute majority, those withthe two highest numbers of votes will be retained for a second round.
2. In case of a second round, the candidate with the relative majority (abstentions notcounted) is elected.
Re-elections, however, need a 2/3 majority.
The vote for elections and re-elections is secret and made by ballot.
The Collaboration Board can decide to terminate a person's assignment at any time andto request new elections.
The chairperson of the Collaboration Board is elected ad personam by the Collaboration
Board. The chairperson shall not represent any country, institution, or activity within
ATLAS. The term of office is two years, and is not renewable. After the first year of
office, a deputy is elected who will become the chairperson's successor. After the end of
the chairperson's term of office, the chairperson will serve for yet another year as
deputy.
The chairperson may nominate an advisory group, the members of which will beelected by the Collaboration Board upon proposal of the chairperson for the duration of
the chairperson's term.

Article 16 : ATLAS System Organisation

Preamble
The optimisation and construction of ATLAS as one coherent scientific facility is a large task. The required
resources are substantial and the ATLAS collaboration has a responsibility to ensure that these will
efficiently produce a facility with the expected performance. This requires an organisation with clear linesof responsibilities. ATLAS is divided into different performance tasks (Systems) and we need one personwith an overall responsibility for each of these, the Project Leader. This responsibility requires the full
support from the System community which is ensured by the appointment procedure. This appointment
procedure is executed with the Project Leader responsibilities open on the table, so that the participating
institutes know exactly what they agree to when they select their candidate. The Project Leader is working
with a Steering Group which shall be an active body in guiding the System execution.
The System organisation described in this document was approved by the Collaboration Board the
29’th of November 1996.

System Interaction with the ATLAS Management
An ATLAS System roughly corresponds to a performance task. It is a major activity involving a set of

The Project Leader chairs the System Steering Group. He or she shall maintain continuous communication
with the Steering Group, keeping it up-dated on the development of the project and consulting it onquestions of major importance.

In leading the System the Project Leader shall always consider the effect of any decisions taken within the
System on the performance and functioning of the ATLAS experiment as a whole.

Typical tasks of the Project Leader include (but are not limited to):Preparing all decisions in the sub-detector community, by activating all the necessary studies andforums, thus making sure that everyone has the opportunity to express opinions well before the formal
decision is taken by the Steering Group and the Institute Board.
Maintaining up-to-date knowledge on all activities inside the System either directly or through people
to whom co-ordination has been delegated.
Keeping the System community informed on developments from the central ATLAS co-ordination
relevant to the execution of the System.
The production of the System TDR and its presentation to the LHCC.
Ensuring a correct distribution and balance of responsibilities among the participating institutions.
Keeping an updated project plan for the System, including the use of resources (resource loaded projectplan), and communicating it to the general ATLAS project planning.
Representing the System in the Executive Board (Project Leaders and the EB members are subject toendorsement by the CB).
Organising System collaboration meetings and Steering Group meetings.
Ensuring that clear work definitions are written for people to whom tasks are permanently delegated,such as the project engineer.
Ensuring the efficiency of the System execution.
Ensuring that the System status is regularly communicated to the ATLAS management.
Bringing to the ATLAS management’s attention changes that could affect the rest of the experiment.

Collaboration Board decisions on ATLAS organizationin 1998/1999
Matteo Cavalli-Sforza

Decisions taken by the Collaboration Board in 1998 and 1999 on matters oforganization of the collaboration are collated in this document for ease of reference.
These decisions complete the rules and procedures laid down in the ATLAS
Organization document [1] and in the ATLAS System Organization document [2] andtogether with these two documents define the basic rules under which ATLAS
operates.

1. Procedure approved in the Collaboration Board meeting of September 18, 1998:
Concerning elections in which two candidates receive equal numbers of votes:
The procedure to be followed to break a deadlock in the Collaboration Board isdescribed. This procedure is also meant as a guide if such a situation arises in(sub)detector communities.
In the case that two candidates receive equal numbers of votes
1. First, the election shall be repeated in the same session.
2. If the deadlock is not broken, the body that organized the previous vote shall havethe authority to propose solutions that may produce a majority, and shall organize another vote. This vote must be announced at least two weeks in advance and must
follow the previous vote with a delay of no less than three weeks.
3. If the deadlock persists, the Collaboration Board Chair shall be entrusted withfinding a solution.

2. Rules approved in the Collaboration Board meetings of June 11, 1999 and
September 16, 1999:
A. Concerning (sub)system project leaders:
A.1: A search committee of the Institute Board presents a short list of project leader
candidates after consulting with the (sub)system community and management. The
spokesperson may add one candidate to the short list. Before the Institute Board vote,the Spokesperson may express to the Institute Board management’s preferences
between the candidates. (11/06/99)
A.2: In exceptional circumstances, the spokesperson may call for the resignation of a(sub)system project leader. In this case, a new election must take place within 30 days.
The outgoing project leader remains in charge until the new one is elected. (16/09/99)
B. Concerning decisions by Institute Boards:
In constructing detector components, majority decisions of the Institute Boards must be
followed by all Institutes. However under serious circumstances majority decision canbe appealed. Such appeals will be arbitrated by the spokesperson, and may only bereversed by a vote of the Collaboration Board. (11/06/99)
C. Concerning reelections of outgoing spokesperson and project leaders:
C.1: If the outgoing spokesperson/(sub)system project leader has served for two terms
or longer and seeks reelection, the relevant search committee should actively seek new
candidates. (16/09/99)
C.2: Elections of (sub)system project leaders should normally take place at least fourmonths before the end of the mandate of the current project leaders. (16/09/99)

Annex 5.6

Conditions for Institutions joining after 1996

New Institutions are expected to make significant contributions to the ATLAS
project (detector construction, software) which will have to be negotiated case bycase. These contributions will be laid down in an amendment to the MoU.
New collaborators will have the same obligations towards the Common Projects as
all other collaboration members. In particular the full minimum Common Fundcash contribution of 100 kCHF is requested. A definite payment plan has to be
included in the request to join the ATLAS Collaboration.

Annex 5.7

Suspended Membership

ATLAS can create the status of 'Suspended Membership' in order to allow
Institutions to temporarily interrupt their contributions to the experiment and to reintegrate without having to re-apply for membership.
Suspended Membership will be granted only in exceptional cases and for welljustified circumstances which will have to be considered case by case by the
Collaboration Board.
The following rules apply to the status of Suspended Membership:
Suspension of membership shall in no case be possible beyond a duration of 3
years.
The integrated minimal cash contribution to the Common Fund remains 100
kCHF; the standard annual dues of 12.5 kCHF not paid during thesuspension period will have to be paid according to a plan to be agreed uponat the time of re-integration.
Commitments taken by the Institutions and laid down in the IMoU and MoU
will be redefined in an amendment.
Suspended Membership of a period of less than 3 years can only be extended
once to a total maximum period of 3 years.
If the Institution does not re-integrate at the end of the suspension period it
may declare withdrawal from the Collaboration, otherwise ATLAS will startan exclusion procedure.

Annex 5.8
Exclusions of Institutions from ATLAS

It is the duty of the ATLAS management to inform the Collaboration Board about
Institutions which are not fulfilling their commitments and obligations as specified
in the IMoU and MoU. The commitments are not only of material nature, butconcern also the active participation in the experiment.
The ATLAS management shall also inform in writing the representative of theInstitution and its Funding Agency that the expected commitments are not being
honored.
After a delay of six months following the written notification, the Collaboration
Board may ultimately decide to exclude an Institution from the Collaboration, afterdue verification of the facts and after considering all circumstances.
Contributions already made to ATLAS shall remain part of ATLAS until
completion of the experiment as specified in the General Conditions forExperiments at CERN.

Annex 5.9
Procedures for Admission of New Institutions

The Collaboration Board (CB) decides on admission of new Institutions to ATLAS.
A positive decision is then forwarded to the Resource Review Board forendorsement. The conditions for Institutions joining after 1996 are described in the
Collaboration Board Minutes (7-Mar-97) and in Annex 5.5
An Institution that wishes to join the ATLAS Collaboration sends an Expression ofInterest (EoI) to the spokesperson. This EoI should include:
Current Institution members who wish to join;
Name of the team leader;
Field of interest in ATLAS;
The expected contribution to the project;
Expected development of team size during the ATLAS project;
The associated funding agencies.
The spokesperson informs the CB about the EoI, and a decision can be taken
earliest at the subsequent meeting.
The spokesperson discusses the EoI with the relevant national contact physicist,
relevant system project leaders and Institutions in the area in which the candidate
Institution has expressed interest.
The spokesperson brings the EoI to the CB for decision when the future ATLAS
activities of the Institution are clarified. The CB is notified in advance in such acase.
If the Collaboration Board admits the new Institution, the Resource Review Board
is informed and its endorsement is requested.

Annex 12 : Rules of Procedure for the M&O Scrutiny Group
12.1 The RRBs of the LHC experiments, acting together, shall appoint a ScrutinyGroup to assist them in exercising their duties with respect to the oversight of
M&O costs and the approval of M&O spending for the coming year. The
Scrutiny Group has a technical role and shall be composed of six persons chosen
appropriately by the RRBs acting jointly and four persons chosen by CERN. The
Scrutiny Group shall perform its duties for all of the LHC Collaborations. The
members chosen by the RRBs shall normally include at least one person from eachof a large Member State, a small Member State, a large non-Member State and asmall non-Member State.
12.2 In order to promote continuity in its deliberations, appointments to the ScrutinyGroup shall normally be for two years, with the possibility of re-appointment.
Half of the members chosen by the RRBs and half of those chosen by CERN will
be replaced each year. In order to establish this rolling replacement, half of theinitial members of the Scrutiny Group will serve for three years.
12.3 The names of new Scrutiny Group members for the current and following year
will normally be settled at the spring meeting of the RRBs. For the members to bechosen by the RRBs, the RRB Chairperson will receive nominations. CERN will
inform the RRBs of its choice of members. The RRBs will then appoint the
Scrutiny Group members by consensus in plenary session.
12.4 The Scrutiny Group shall select its Chairperson from amongst the members
chosen by the RRBs.
12.5 At his or her discretion, the Chairperson of the Scrutiny Group will accept that, in
exceptional circumstances, a member is replaced at an individual meeting by anamed proxy.
12.6 The Scrutiny Group will receive for scrutiny, normally at the spring meetings of
the RRBs, the Collaborations' proposals concerning the level, provision andsharing of Category A M&O costs for the following year, along with theirreported Category B costs and the proposed responsibilities and commitments forthese. It will then carry out its scrutiny activities and will submit its reports foreach experiment to the autumn meetings of the RRBs.

Annex 14 : Non-Member States for which CERN will partially pay the energy costs

14.1 CERN will partially pay the energy costs for the following CERN Non-Member
States by virtue of their contributions to the construction of the LHC machine.
1. Canada
2. India
3. Japan
4. Russian Federation
5. United States of America
14.2 Under a co-operation agreement Israel contributes to CERN 20% of the amountthat would normally be expected of it as a Member State. The further provisionsof this co-operation agreement on the use of these funds lead to the conclusionthat CERN should pay 16% of the energy costs for this country.

Annex 15 : Formula used for determining the sharing of the CERN payment ofenergy costs amongst the eligible non-Member States.
Mi=

contribution to the LHC machine of country i

MMS =contribution to the LHC machine of CERN Member States taken
together

MNMS= contribution to the LHC machine of the non-Member States listed in
Annex 1.1 taken togetherGi=

GDP of country i (see explanatory note below)Ai=

category A costs for country i

EMS =energy costs of the Member States together

ENMS =

energy costs of the non-Member States listed in Annex 14.1 taken
togetherEi

Energy costs attributable to country i=

The CERN share ENMS(CERN) of ENMS is determined by the LHC machine
contribution of these countries relative to the contribution of the CERN Member
States, i.e.
ENMS(CERN) = ENMS . MNMS/MMS
Beyond this, the algorithm used for sharing amongst the eligible non-Member
States is:
Ei = k . (Mi /G i ). Ai

where k = ENMS(CERN)∑((Mi/Gi ).Ai)/
NMS

Explanatory note on the calculation of GDPs
The Gross Domestic Products to be taken into account in preparation for the decision in
the autumn of year n on the payment of energy costs by CERN in year n+1 tocontributing non-Member States are those for the years of LHC construction (19962006). Thus initially the averaged Gross Domestic Product in Swiss francs for eachcontributing non-Member State is calculated as described in the following two
paragraphs.
1. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in US Dollars of each contributing non-Member
State for the years 1996 to m, the last year available (m ≤ n-1), is obtained from the

CERN-RRB-2002-035

document "International Financial Statistics" published by the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), Washington DC.
2. An average of the resulting data for each contributing non-Member State is
calculated by the application of the following formula :(GDP1996 + GDP1997 + ... + GDPm) / (m-1996+1)
When m reaches 2006, the averaged GDP for the country in question will cover thewhole period of LHC construction and will then be used unchanged in subsequent
years.

Annex 16 : Procedure for the payment of Category A contributions
For Category A expenses, CERN will issue, each calendar year, on the basis of theagreed costs and sharing, invoices in Swiss francs to the Funding Agencies of thevarious Institutes for payment during that year; any necessary adjustments will bemade and taken into account in the following year. Payment of 50% of the amountinvoiced will be due not later than 10 February and the remaining 50% not later then10 June. Advance payments are encouraged. The RRB will be informed at its autumn
meeting each year of the interest gained or lost by the Collaboration.
