Le présent document contient le bilan d’activités annuel (APR), instauré dans le cadre des nouveaux principes de gouvernance du CERN approuvés par le Conseil en 2008. Ce bilan a pour objet de comparer, par activité, les résultats obtenus et les objectifs convenus par le Conseil, ainsi que de comparer, par objectif et par activité, les charges effectives et les ressources planifiées.

Il comprend des informations détaillées sur les progrès et les publications scientifiques, de même que des informations générales sur les ressources humaines et la formation, l’hygiène, la sécurité et l’environnement, les statistiques concernant les utilisateurs, les accords de collaboration, ainsi que des informations financières sur les reports budgétaires et des éléments sur les projets financés par l’Union européenne. Les tableaux financiers récapitulatifs comprennent la répartition des produits et charges par nature.

La plupart des recommandations des commissaires aux comptes, ainsi que celles du Conseil et de ses comités concernant la structure et le contenu des bilans précédents ayant été prises en compte, la présentation de ce cinquième bilan d’activités annuel est identique à celle du bilan de l’exercice précédent.

Les objectifs pour 2012 ont été définis dans le plan à moyen terme révisé de juin 2011 et ont été en partie revus tout au long de 2012 pour les adapter aux besoins sur le plan scientifique et répondre à de nouveaux besoins urgents. Ces modifications ainsi que les raisons qui les sous-tendent sont expliquées dans les tableaux récapitulatifs.

L’annonce, le 4 juillet, de la découverte par ATLAS et CMS d’un boson de type Higgs a constitué l’événement majeur de 2012. Cette découverte, et les avancées réalisées ultérieurement dans la mesure de ses propriétés, démontrent l’impact du CERN sur la recherche, rendu possible grâce aux très bonnes performances de la chaîne d’accélérateurs, l’excellente efficacité de la prise de données par les détecteurs, ainsi que la stabilité et la fiabilité exceptionnelles de l'informatique. La poursuite et l’intensification depuis 2009 des efforts de consolidation de l’infrastructure générale comme technique ont permis d’avoir une grande disponibilité opérationnelle. En outre, afin d’optimiser les résultats scientifiques, le calendrier du LHC a été modifié de sorte que la campagne proton-proton 2012 a pu être prolongée jusqu’à la fin de 2012 et l’exploitation pour la physique proton-ion plomb reportée à février 2013.

Les principaux progrès et résultats obtenus en 2012 peuvent se résumer comme suit :

• La performance de la machine LHC a été exceptionnelle : la luminosité intégrée a dépassé de loin les attentes pour l’exploitation proton-proton, une performance exceptionnelle qui s’est traduite par des luminosités de crête records. En mode proton-proton, le LHC a fourni à ATLAS comme

à CMS une luminosité intégrée de plus de 23 fb-1, dépassant ainsi nettement l’objectif de 15 fb-1 fixé pour 2012, et des luminosité instantanées records dépassant 7 × 1033 cm-2 s-1 à une énergie dans le centre de masse de 8 TeV. Ces luminosités records ont été possibles grâce à l’expérience acquise dans l'exploitation du LHC, notamment de la chaîne d’injection, et à l'effet bénéfique du renforcement de la maintenance et de la consolidation. La machine LHC a également testé avec succès le mode proton-ion plomb en prévision de l’exploitation pour la physique de 2013. Ce test était destiné aux études sur la machine. Il a toutefois aussi permis une courte période d'exploitation pour la physique et des données ont pu être recueillies par ALICE, ATLAS, CMS et LHCb.

• Les expériences LHC ont recueilli des données d'excellente qualité, avec une grande efficacité. Plus de 300 articles scientifiques ont ainsi été soumis à des revues de physique à comité de lecture et plus de 1 600 communications ont été présentées à des conférences par les expériences LHC.

• Outre la découverte spectaculaire, annoncée en juillet, d’une particule semblable au Higgs, les expériences ont présenté des résultats d’études améliorant notre compréhension du Modèle standard de la physique des particules. Par exemple, la section efficace inclusive de production des jets en fonction de leur impulsion transversale (couvrant neuf ordres de grandeur) et la production simple et double de bosons vecteurs ont été mesurées avec précision et s'avèrent concorder avec les calculs à l’ordre sous-dominant (Next-to-Leading Order). L’importante production de quarks top aux énergies du LHC a déjà permis de mesurer avec précision la masse et les sections efficaces de production du top et d’observer des corrélations de spin. Les limites pour la nouvelle physique ont également été améliorées (p. ex : modèles supersymétriques).

• Parmi les principaux résultats de physique obtenus par LHCb, citons la première indication de Br(Bs → µ+µ-) = 3,2 × 10-9, ce qui est conforme au Modèle standard ; la mesure de ϕs (phase de l’amplitude d’oscillation des Bs) à ±0,09 rad ; la mesure de l’asymétrie avant-arrière AFB) dans B → K* µ+µ- ; et la première mesure de l’angle γ de la matrice CKM à ±16 deg.

• Pour ALICE, l’essentiel de la période d’exploitation 2012 a été consacré au mode proton-proton afin de recueillir des statistiques sur les déclenchements à biais minimum et les déclenchements pour événements rares pour servir de données de référence pour les données Pb-Pb recueillies en 2011.

• TOTEM a mesuré la section efficace totale dans un mode indépendant de la luminosité avec β* élevé et recueilli des données sur les processus diffractifs avec des déclenchements communs à CMS. LHCf a terminé son analyse préliminaire des spectres d’énergie du π0 à l’énergie de collision de 7 TeV. MoEDAL a déployé deux nouveaux détecteurs et collecté des données en mode de collisions proton-proton. L’analyse des données de MoEDAL se poursuit suite au retrait du dispositif d’expérimentation.

• La Grille de calcul mondiale pour le LHC (WLCG), dont la performance est restée remarquable, a fourni un service de calcul stable et fiable pour la physique et permis une reconstitution et une analyse très rapides des données. Au total, près de 30 Po de données ont été enregistrés sur bande pour la période d’exploitation du LHC pour la physique de 2012. La WLCG a pris en charge des débits de données sensiblement plus élevés pour toutes les expériences, du fait de fréquences de déclenchement plus élevées et d'une augmentation des données « parquées ». Le nombre d’utilisateurs finals de la WLCG à des fins d’analyse de données de physique a constamment augmenté, plus d'un tiers des membres de toutes les collaborations LHC utilisant actuellement ce service. Un contrat a été conclu avec l’Institut Wigner à Budapest pour l’hébergement du centre de niveau 0. Il offrira de nouvelles perspectives pour la continuité de l’activité hors site.

• Le programme de physique hors LHC a également été extrêmement fécond pour toutes les installations (SPS, PS, AD, n_TOF, ISOLDE) et pour les expériences recherchant des axions. Les expériences OPERA et ICARUS ont terminé leur collecte de données pour la physique, OPERA ayant rendu compte de l’observation d’un deuxième candidat pour le ντ. Les exploitations spécifiques d’OPERA ni aucune autre expérience n’ont confirmé la surprenante mesure du temps de vol du neutrino réalisée précédemment par OPERA. Parmi les résultats marquants obtenus auprès de l’AD, on citera la publication dans la revue Nature de la première mesure de spectroscopie sur l’antihydrogène par l’expérience ALPHA, la mesure très précise du moment magnétique de l’antiproton par ATRAP, la réussite par ASACUSA de la spectroscopie de l’atome d’hélium antiprotonique froid avec un photon unique, ainsi que l’installation de l’expérience AEGIS et ses premiers tests avec des antiprotons.

• Dans la zone Nord, COMPASS a mesuré l’effet Primakoff et publié des résultats sur ses analyses des hadrons et des muons pour 2010 et la période 2008-2010. NA61 a enregistré des données de référence proton-ion plomb et lancé l’étude des interactions Be-Be à différentes énergies avec une mesure à 13 GeV/A. NA62 a publié ses résultats sur l’analyse du rapport RK et mené à bien une prise de données test avec un grand nombre de

sous-détecteurs. NA63 a collecté des données pour étudier l’effet Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal et les résonances avec une cible structurée. CLOUD a continué de collecter des données avec des détecteurs optimisés et progressé dans l’analyse des données sur la nucléation recueillies précédemment. DIRAC a collecté de nouvelles données en vue de l’observation des atomes pioniques à longue durée de vie. L’exploitation de n_TOF s’est caractérisée par une campagne fructueuse avec plusieurs cibles, et des résultats présentant un intérêt pour la technologie nucléaire, la médecine et l'astrophysique. La construction d’une nouvelle ligne de faisceau de neutrons (n_TOF-EAR2) a été approuvée. Un nombre record d’expériences de physique ont été menées à ISOLDE, dont une portant sur la mesure de la masse du 54Ca et une autre utilisant pour la première fois l’imagerie par résonance magnétique bêta avec des liquides. CAST a continué son exploitation pour la physique avec 4He et des détecteurs optimisés pour la recherche d’axions dans la région de 0,4 eV.

• L’année 2012 a été marquée par le lancement du programme de consolidation pour l’amélioration de la performance et de recherche pour le LHC haute luminosité (HL-LHC), dont l’ambitieux objectif à long terme prévoit de fournir une luminosité intégrée totale de l’ordre de 3 000 fb-1 (enregistrés) à la fin de la vie utile du LHC. Cela suppose une luminosité annuelle d’environ 250 à 300 fb-1 au cours de la deuxième décennie d’exploitation du LHC. La phase HL-LHC nécessitera également d’apporter des modifications aux éléments des régions d’insertion de la machine dont la performance se sera détériorée sous l’effet des rayonnements, notamment les quadripôles pour les triplets internes. L’installation du HL-LHC est programmée pour le long arrêt de 2022. Les travaux de R&D et d’amélioration concernant les détecteurs LHC aux fins d’un usage optimal de la luminosité du LHC sont également en cours.

• Les mesures de l’installation d’essai de CLIC (CTF3) ont apporté des réponses concluantes aux questions de faisabilité déterminantes pour le concept d’accélérateur CLIC, notamment l’accélération à deux faisceaux avec des gradients d’accélération supérieurs à 100 MeV/m dans les limites des taux de panne fixés. Le Rapport préliminaire de conception (CDR) de CLIC a été achevé et un document d’orientation a été présenté lors des délibérations sur la mise à jour de la stratégie européenne pour la physique des particules.

• La recherche dans l’unité Théorie (TH) couvre l’ensemble des domaines de la physique théorique des particules, ainsi que certains sujets d’astrophysique des particules et de cosmologie. L’unité Théorie apporte son appui au programme de physique du LHC, aussi bien pour la physique des protons que pour celle des ions plomb. L’unité a consacré des efforts

5

particuliers à une meilleure compréhension des signaux de fond du Modèle standard, à l’étude de la nature de la brisure de la symétrie électrofaible ainsi qu’à l’origine de la masse et de la hiérarchie des masses, et à la quantification de l'interaction gravitationnelle. L’une de ses principales tâches a été de comprendre les conséquences de la découverte au LHC d’un boson de Higgs aux alentours de 125 GeV du point de vue de la validité du Modèle standard et de la supersymétrie. Par ailleurs, plusieurs aspects de la physique au-delà du Modèle standard ont été étudiés, en tenant compte des contraintes expérimentales actuelles, y compris en ce qui concerne les expériences neutrinos et hors accélérateur. Du côté de la physique des ions plomb, l’unité a concentré ses efforts sur la compréhension du mécanisme fondamental qui sous-tend la perte d’énergie des quarks et gluons fondamentaux.

• Un domaine d’étude important de l’unité TH concerne l’interaction entre les mesures effectuées dans le domaine de la physique des particules auprès de collisionneurs et le grand volume de données obtenues à partir de diverses observations, notamment dans les domaines de l’astrophysique et de la cosmologie. Dans les domaines théoriques plus formels, les recherches ont porté principalement sur la théorie des cordes, les applications de correspondance entre jauge et gravité, la CDQ sur réseau, la supergravité et la dynamique de jauge non perturbative. Les membres de l’unité Théorie prennent également une part active dans les groupes d'étude sur le CLIC et les collisionneurs linéaires en général, et sur les futures améliorations du LHC. L’unité Théorie a publié 369 prétirages TH et accueilli 66 boursiers, 63 étudiants et 770 visiteurs pour des périodes de courte durée venus travailler avec les physiciens théoriciens et avec les collaborations. L’unité Théorie a organisé une école de physique, quatre instituts d’été et quatre ateliers. Elle accueille cinq scientifiques titulaires d’une bourse pour chercheurs confirmés du Conseil européen de la recherche (CER), un physicien titulaire d’une bourse CER pour chercheur débutant, ainsi que deux boursiers du réseau européen ITN et un boursier du réseau européen ICT.

• Des accords bilatéraux ont été signés entre le CERN et diverses parties. La Serbie est devenue un État membre associé en phase préalable à l’adhésion. Le Conseil du CERN a approuvé à l’unanimité l’octroi à Chypre du statut d’État membre associé en physe préalable à l’adhésion. L’Accord correspondant a été signé par les deux parties et ce statut deviendra effectif après notification au CERN de la ratification de l’Accord par le Parlement chypriote. Des négociations sont en cours en vue de l’octroi à la Slovénie et à la Turquie du statut d’État membre associé. Un certain nombre d’autres pays ont présenté une demande d’octroi du statut d'État membre (Brésil, Fédération de Russie et Ukraine).

• Le CERN a continué d’être engagé envers les jeunes scientifiques et ingénieurs en encadrant leurs travaux de recherche et en assurant leur formation, dans le cadre du programme des boursiers, qui comprend le programme de formation des ingénieurs diplômés (GET), destiné aux scientifiques, ingénieurs et ingénieurs-techniciens. En 2012, le CERN a accueilli au total 513 ETP boursiers (y compris ceux financés par des tiers).

• Au total, 1 045 enseignants originaires de 35 pays ont participé aux programmes du CERN pour les enseignants du secondaire, soit au programme international, soit à l’une des nombreuses sessions tenues dans une des 18 langues nationales. De nombreux enseignants sont revenus au CERN avec leurs classes, ce qui, avec les visites quotidiennes du grand public, s’est traduit par la venue de quelque 85 000 visiteurs en 2012, confirmant l’augmentation constatée ces dernières années. L’exposition permanente du CERN Univers de particules a accueilli au total 63 000 visiteurs en 2012. Le CERN a organisé sur son domaine 504 événements médiatiques. Des dizaines de milliers de personnes ont visité l’exposition itinérante du CERN à Chypre, en Grèce, en Irlande, en Serbie, en Espagne et en Turquie. Les événements organisé lors de l’annonce, le 4 juillet, de la découverte d’un boson de type Higgs ont suscité une couverture médiatique mondiale sans précédent et ont attiré une audience grand public record : émissions retransmises par plus de 1 000 chaînes de télévision, 450 000 internautes suivant la retransmission sur le web, 17 000 coupures de presse et 150 instituts organisant des événements en parallèle rassemblant plus de 10 000 participants.

• Le Bureau VIP et protocole a organisé 169 visites de personnalité au CERN en 2012, un chiffre en légère baisse par rapport à 2011, mais qui reste élevé par rapport à d’autres années.

• La Direction a mis en œuvre un vaste programme visant à consolider l’infrastructure générale, la logistique et les services, en continuant de consacrer des efforts importants pour la maintenance d’un site épars, vieillissant et de grande ampleur, et en se fixant pour priorité absolue de renforcer l'appui au personnel et aux utilisateurs. Parmi les éléments marquants, citons les avancées remarquables des travaux concernant plusieurs bâtiments existants et nouveaux bâtiments, la poursuite de l’intégration d’un service d’aide aux utilisateurs unique au bâtiment 55 et la maintenance des systèmes de détection des gaz et des incendies. La rénovation du bâtiment 867 sur le site de Prévessin a été achevée et le projet de construction du bâtiment 107 pour le traitement des surfaces a été lancé.

• Plusieurs services de santé et de sécurité ont été améliorés ou mis en place afin de permettre à l’Organisation de veiller à la mise en œuvre systématique de mesures préventives. Des mesures ont notamment été mises en œuvre pour mieux gérer certains aspects de la santé et la sécurité au travail (réduire le nombre de blessures et poursuivre les cours de sécurité) ; la protection contre les rayonnements ionisants continue d’être développée ; la sécurisation de l’exploitation, de la maintenance et de la consolidation des installations du CERN avec faisceaux continue d’être améliorée ; des mesures visant à accroître la protection de l’environnement ont été mises en place.

• La deuxième phase de l’examen quinquennal 2010 et un deuxième train de mesures visant à rétablir l’équilibre financier de la Caisse de pensions ont été mis en œuvre avec effet au 1er janvier 2012.

• Le CERN a reçu de nombreux prix et plusieurs membres du personnel ont été récompensés pour le travail accompli. Citons notamment le prix Avancée de l'année par la revue Physics World, et le Prix de l’Innovation RH pour le caractère innovant du système de congé épargné à long terme (LTSLS).

Par rapport à la fin de l'année 2011, la situation financière de l’Organisation à fin 2012 montre une diminution du déficit budgétaire cumulé. Cette situation s’explique principalement par le report du long arrêt du complexe d'accélérateurs. Les charges seront sensiblement plus élevées pendant le long arrêt de sorte que le déficit budgétaire cumulé augmentera d’ici à la fin de 2013 et de 2014. En 2012, une partie du budget du matériel a été transférée au budget du personnel pour permettre à un nombre plus grand de membres du personnel de travailler sur des travaux de R&D et des projets. Les calendriers de certains projets ont été modifiés. Certains achats de matériels, notamment pour la consolidation et les projets, ont cumulé des retards. On note une différence totale positive de 99,2 MCHF par rapport au solde budgétaire estimé dans le budget final de 2012. Sur ce montant, 87 MCHF de crédits pour des projets ont déjà été réaffectés de 2012 aux années ultérieures (64 MCHF pour 2013), comme cela est indiqué et expliqué dans le budget final de 2013. Le reste correspond à des produits supplémentaires comme les produits de ventes, les gains de change, et surtout les engagements ouverts dans les postes « Exploitation » et « Projets » pour des éléments qui ont été commandés mais pas encore livrés au CERN.

En conséquence, l’exécution du budget 2012 confirme pour l’essentiel les charges et les produits probables de 2012 présentés en décembre dans le budget final de 2013, les différences étant entièrement engagées. Des précisions sur le report sont données à la section IV.5.

L’exécution du budget 2012 alloue +23,7 MCHF au déficit budgétaire (après remboursements de capital et versement du montant annuel pour la recapitalisation de la Caisse de pensions).

Grâce au soutien constant de tous les États membres, il n’y a pas eu besoin de recourir à des emprunts à court terme fin 2012, même si le montant des contributions restant dues pour 2012 s’élevait à 85,4 MCHF au 31 décembre 2012 (contre 75,1 MCHF pour 2011 à la fin de l’exercice précédent). La différence entre le déficit budgétaire et le solde de trésorerie s’explique par des avances de trésorerie sur les comptes de tiers et par le décalage habituel entre commandes et livraisons par rapport aux dates de paiement.

Summary of Revenues and Expenses by Activity Figure 1: Summary of Revenues and Expenses by Activity

More detailed information on revenues and expenses is given in Figure 14 on page 42. The budget balance is more positive than anticipated. The main reasons for the 99.2 MCHF difference are as follows: • Revenues were higher than planned owing to: the contribution from Serbia which has become an Associate Member State, increased sales, exchange rate gains,

CERN shop revenues and car sales. • Expenses were significantly lower owing to multi-annual project re-profiling (86.7 MCHF) and carry-forwards of supplies linked to the new LHC schedule (in

compliance with the Cost-to-Completion estimates) and to lower electricity consumption, as published in the Final 2013 Budget (CERN/FC/5693). The annual payment of 60 MCHF towards recapitalization of the Pension Fund was decided by the Council in 2010 as part of the package of measures CERN/FC/5498-CERN/2947 to restore the funding balance of the Pension Fund and paid for the first time in 2011. The cumulative balance of -70.3 MCHF is the accumulated budget deficit as at 31/12/2011, as stated in the Annual Accounts for 2011, p.6.

Variations of Out-Turn with respect to Budget

LHC programme (incl. projects)1 LHC machine and injectors, reliability and consolidation

2012 Goals Beam operation of the LHC in 2012 with a target integrated luminosity of several fb-1. Reliable operation of LHC as Pb82+ collider.

Risks Following a critical review of the spares situation, provision of the most important spares has been established.Future prospects & longer term Continued evaluation of the spares situation as experience with LHC operation is gained.

For the consolidation and upgrade of the CERN electrical network to cope with increase of energy of the LHC and to adapt the existing electrical network to accelerator projects, a detailed programme was undertaken.For the consolidation of overhead cranes a detailed programme was evaluated.For the collimation project, new collimators with integrated Beam Position Monitors that will allow a more precise positioning of the collimators in the interaction regions, were designed, adjudicated and production started.The R2E measures (shielding, relocation and new electronic developments ) taken during the 2011-2012 shutdown led to a drastic decrease of failure rate caused by radiation induced problems (from ~12 dumps per accumulated fb-1 in 2011 to only ~3 dumps per fb-1 in 2012). Following these positive results, a complete review of the R2E project was done.

Risks

The consolidation projects are organised in such a way that during the year, if the risk situation changes, priorities are shifted and the items with the highest priority will have budget allocated.Failures which could compromise reliable operation of the accelerators and the experiments due to the ageing electrical infrastructure as well as the increased needs. A new consolidation programme is launched.The availability of the Pb ion sources has been improved by operating two ovens in a push-pull mode.

LHC machine and experimental areas

Spares

Consolidation

Purchasing replacement hardware for the old LEP UPS; 4 spare RF Klystrons were ordered; a spare injection kicker was assembled and installed in the LHC to test its vacuum performance before LS1; the manufacture of the replacement beam screens. The magnet spare stock has been reconstituted and tested 100% to the level before the sector 3-4 incident, except one dipole and one quadupole. The operational stock of interconnecting bellows in arcs (PIMs) and in warm sections has been refurbished to compensate for the losses after sector 3-4 and to reach the needs of the operation.

Consolidation will cover mainly the old LEP infrastructure that has been re-used for the LHC (cooling, ventilation, electrical networks...) and a major campaign to build up the necessary LHC spare parts that were not included in the final LHC Cost-to-Completion. Also, preparations are being made for the consolidation of the splices and the enhancement of the collimation system, i.e. finalizing the collimation in the insertions (both being planned to be carried-out during the shutdown 2013).

2012 GoalsThe last spares for magnets must be bought to restore the spares inventory to the situation before the Sector 3-4 incident. Buying and manufacturing of spares according to the critical list.

2012 Achievements

Future prospects & longer term

The collimation project will continue investigating the issue of losses in the dispersion suppressor regions, with the aim of giving a recommendation for the eventual installation of additional collimators in those regions. In order to allow that, several R&D actions have been launched and will be followed-up, as for example on 11 T magnets, on new materials, on hollow beam lenses and on crystal collimation.For the R2E project, a complete programme has been developed which will allow the increase in integrated luminosity with an acceptable number of failures due to single event upset.

2012 Goals

2012 Achievements

Future prospects & longer termBeam operation of the LHC in 2015 at collision energy around 13 TeV. Continued Pb-Pb operation starting at the end of 2015. Re-establishing 18GHz operation of the source is still under investigation in order to increase further the ion intensity produced by the LINAC.

Risks

2012 Achievements

Failures of LINAC2: until LINAC4 is operational. Ageing of the injector chain: the risks are continually mitigated and an extensive consolidation programme is under way to keep the current injectors running for 25 years. Many activities concerning the consolidation of the machine are planned during LS1.For Injectors for heavy ions: Extensive work on the source has mitigated the risk of delays after a scheduled source change. A vacuum degradation anywhere in the injector chain could lead to poor transmission of the Pbion beam.

The LHC was operated at 4 TeV/beam and with increased focusing around the two high luminosity experiments. These, together with an increased brightness of the beam delivered by the LHC injectors gave a factor two in the peak instantaneous luminosity that LHC could deliver to ATLAS and CMS. During the proton run 23.3 fb-1 were delivered to these two experiments. At the same time 2.2 fb-1 were delivered to LHCb and 10 pb-1 to ALICE. The proton run was extended to allow the maximum luminosity to be delivered before the long shutdown of the LHC and injectors.The operation period of the LHC will be completed in early 2013 with a proton-ion run. Commissioning of the LHC for this mode of operation was achieved during dedicated periods. In addition, dedicated machine time was used for physics runs for TOTEM and ALFA using very large beam spots at the collision point.Numerous machine studies were also undertaken to improve the machine performance and to prepare for the restart of the LHC after LS1.

Comments

Thanks to a very reliable operation, some materials was not spent in 2012, but was already re-allocated for increased consolidation needs during the shutdown to be includeed in the Final 2013 Budget. The materials open commitments at the end of 2012 amount to 1.5 MCHF.

Spares

The higher amount of personnel is due to re-allocations from LHC exploitation allowing for preparing the long shutdown 1. The underspending in materials is directly linked to the prolonged LHC operation, open commitments amount to 12.8MCHF. The heading is thus fully committed and the unused budget will be carried forward to 2013.

2012 Goals (CERN/FC/5534), 2012 Achievements, Risks and Future Prospects & longer term

In 2013 and 2014, the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) phase will take place. A wide range maintenance and consolidation will be carried out on the detector, together with service and safety systems, with a new beam pipe section installation and with some infrastructure preparations for the LHCb Upgrade construction in 2018. With beams foreseen back towards early 2015, physics run at ≥4 x 1032 cm-2s-1 luminosity is foreseen until Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). LHCb could be sensitive to new physics with the sample collected in 2011-12 and with that of 2015-17 in the areas of rare decays, and of CP violation in b or c meson decays. Prepares for an upgrade during LS2 to enable the LHCb experiment to operate at 10 times the design luminosity, i.e. at about 2 × 1033 cm-2s-1, to collect a data sample of ~50 fb-1.

No major managerial and financial risks identified. Technical: no specific risks identified. General risk related to the operation of a very complex detector system including many different detector technologies.

Successful data-taking and integrated luminosity (2 fb-1) goals achieved at luminosity higher than the nominal (4 x 1032 cm-2s-1). The main physics results are (world best): first evidence for Br (Bs→ μ⁺μ-) ~3.2 10-9 (in agreement with Standard Model); measurement of phi-s (phase of the Bs oscillation amplitude) at ±0.09 rad; measurement of AFB in B→K*μ⁺μ-; first measurements of gamma CKM angle at ±16 DEG; several important measurements in the areas of b-quark production cross section and fragmentation ratios, of quarkonia and electroweak production of W and Z bosons in the forward direction. More than 300 presentations at conferences and ~60 physics papers submitted for publication in 2012.

Normal data-taking with complete detector at close to nominal luminosity. Further extend the constraints on new physics (or its discovery) by exploring the key measurements, down to the level of the Standard Model expectation. With ~1 fb-1 of data expected each year during 2011 and 2012, LHCb will significantly improve on the world limits for Br(Bs→μ+μ−) and phi-s (phase of the Bs oscillation amplitude), as well as making first measurements of the CP angle gamma, and the rare decays K* μμ and ϕγ. LHCb also expects to make the world's most precise measurements of charm mixing and CP violation.

In 2013 will have a most important run with pPb beams, which, also given the results of the pilot run, promises a wealth of scientific results, relevant both per se and for the understanding of PbPb. Immediately after, Long Shutdown 1 will be a period of intense activity n the detector, with the completion of the TRD, the installation of the fourth PHOS module and the installation of the second arm of the electromagnetic calorimeter (DCAL). Moreover, in 2013 ALICE will produce the Technical Design Report(s) for the upgrade of the detector, in order to submit them to the relevant committees. This will require a major effort of simulation studies and R&D on detectors and electronics. For the longer term future, ALICE expects Heavy ion data-taking for one month per year and pp physics data-taking as needed for the rest of the year at the higher energy for the years between LS1 and LS2, while in parallel constructing for the upgrades, to be installed in LS2. In the years after LS2, ALICE foresees running again for one month per year with either PbPb or pPB collisions, at the higher rates, for about six years of data-taking, complemented by more limited pp running.

The reorganisation of the Collaboration for the Upgrades is certainly a challenge, but not a major risk. So, no major managerial and financial risks identified. Technical: no specific risks identified. General risk related to the operation of a very complex detector system including many different detector technologies.

The run with pPb collision was finally postponed to early 2013, yet a very short (4 hours) run did take place in September as part of the machine studies necessary in view of the real run. The analysis of the data taken during this pilot run was launched immediately and has already produced three papers with very important results, on one side providing illuminating evidence on effects measured in PbPb, on the other unveiling new and unexpected features of pPb collisions at this energy. Most of the year was devoted to running with pp collisions, collecting the necessary statistics both for MB and for rare triggers to serve as reference for the PbPb data collected in 2010 and 2011. The analysis of the 2010 and 2011 data continued attacking more and more complex analysis, leading to a continued flux of new results. The collaboration presented the new results in about 400 presentations at international conferences, with a particularly important presence at both Hard Probes and Quark Matter, the two main Heavy Ion conferences of the year. A major achievement of the collaboration has also been the definition of the plans for the upgrade of the experiment during LS2. A vigorous program of R&D and physics simulations throughout the year have allowed a detailed discussion with the LHCC and with the national funding agencies, leading to the presentation of a LoI for the operation of ALICE at high HI rate, to reach a total of 10 nb-1 of integrated luminosity with the upgraded detector, and the Conceptual Design Report for a new Inner Tracking System. The program defined by these two documents has been endorsed by the LHCC in September and received the support of the October RRB.

pp reference data-taking and 3rd Pb-Pb physics data-taking. The possibility of a p-Pb run in 2012 is currently being studied by the LHC, and is considered an attractive alternative, since it could allow the clarification of shadowing and other effects on the observed features of PbPb collisions. Physics analysis. Preparation of 2013 shutdown to complete the detector and carry out detector maintenance tasks.

Consolidation and first part of Phase I upgrades during the 2013/2014 shutdown, complete Phase I upgrades in the following few years and start planning for Phase II upgrade. By the end of 2012 with the foreseen luminosity, expect to be able to exclude the existence of the Higgs boson over the full allowed mass range, or else to get evidence for it. Supersymmetry could be discovered up to masses of almost 1 TeV and carriers of new physics up to masses of 1.5 - 2 TeV.

Risks

No major managerial and financial risks identified, general funding risk linked to the start of the upgrade Phase I funding cycle (to be approved by the RRB). Technical: preparation for replacement of beampipe during LS1, installation of shielding walls (YE4, heavy load to be lowered in the cavern), extraction of pixel detector and reinsertion, other general risks related to the operation of a very complex detector system including many different detector technologies.

CMS recorded about 22 fb-1 of integrated luminosity with efficiency well above 90%. In July, CMS observed a new boson at a mass of 125 GeV which is so far compatible with a Standard Model Higgs boson. The analysis of data collected since then (16 fb-1) is on-going. Construction activities and preparations in various areas have been started in view of the detector upgrade to be carried-out in LS1. There have been 333 conference reports produced and 127 papers were published in physics journals in 2012.

Physics run at 7 TeV and luminosities up to 1033 cm-2s-1 or higher (depending on the machine performance) with CERN physicists playing an important role.With 3 fb-1 of accumulated data, CMS could exclude the existence of the SM Higgs boson above 120 GeV/c2 or get evidence for it (3 sigmas) above 130 GeV/c2. It could discover supersymmetric particles with masses up to 0.9 TeV, as well explore several other scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Physics run at increased energy and luminosity in 2015 and beyond. Given the luminosity expected by the machine expect to further study the detailed properties of the Higgs boson. Searches for supersymmetry will continue, with possible discoveries up to masses of 2 TeV and beyond and carriers of new physics up to masses of 2 - 4 TeV and beyond.

No major managerial, technical and financial risks are identified. General risk related to the operation of a very complex detector system including many different detector technologies.

ATLAS was able to record almost 22 fb-1 of integrated luminosity during the year, with a data-taking efficiency of 94%. The number of operational channels exceeded 95% of all detector systems. This excellent detector performance permitted ATLAS to set some of the most stringent performance requirements for lepton identification, lepton energy/momentum resolution, b-tagging, ET ᵐⁱˢˢ measurement, forward-jet tagging, etc. The highlight of 2012 was of course the observation of the Higgs-like boson in July, at 125 GeV. During the year, 163 conference notes, 627 conference talks were delivered and 128 physics papers were submitted. The CERN-ATLAS group has made important contributions in all above areas.

Data-taking with the complete detector at luminosities up to 1033 cm-2s-1 or higher (depending on the machine performance) with CERN physicists playing an important role.With 3 fb-1 of accumulated data, ATLAS could exclude the existence of the SM Higgs boson for masses above 120 GeV or get evidence for it (3 sigmas) for masses above 130 GeV.

7LHC detectors consolidation

2012 GoalsProcure all the necessary equipment and prepare for the consolidation effort during the 2013 shutdown. Main domains of consolidation work are: magnets; cryogenics; electrical, UPS, cooling & ventilation equipment; shielding; networks; preparation of assembly and maintenance areas.

2012 AchievementsThe 4 main LHC experiments have continued consolidation and launched procurements in view of the Long Shutdown 1. Work mostly in the areas of cooling for Trackers, electrical network including UPS, HVAC, magnets infrastructure, controls and tooling for maintenance at the pits.

RisksWithout consolidation of the detectors infrastructure and equipment, their operation would be less efficient and could even be severely compromised in the case of key elements such as the magnets.

Totem: Physics programme for 7TeV: Measurement dNdEta, Σtot in luminosity-independent mode, inelastic cross-section with T1 and T2 telescopes. Physics programme for 8TeV centre of mass: data-taking and analysis at β*=90m, first data-taking with special optics with β*=1km, measurement of Σtot in luminosity-independent mode at high β*; Data-taking for diffractive processes with triggers in common with CMS. LHCf: Primary physics analysis, pi0 spectra at 7TeV collisions, is completed. MoEDAL: Deployment of 2 Timepix sensors and of a prototype of the Magnetic Monopole Trapping (MMT) detector. Data-taking with pp, followed by the removal of the 8 m2 test array for analysis. Installation of a few m2 plastic array for 2013 p-Pb run. First Moedal Physics Workshop in June.

Totem: Carry out the physics programme, initially described in the TDR only for 14TeV centre of mass, also at the reduced =7TeV centre of mass :Measurement of Σtot in special runs with high β* : completion of the β*=90m programme started in 2011, and development of an optics with β*~1km.Study of diffractive processes with nominal optics both in standard runs and in special runs with reduced luminosity, partly together with CMS.Preparation of replacement silicon detectors for the Roman pots to be installed during the shutdown 2013. LHCf: Complete physics analysis with data taken. MoEDAL: Continue running with the 8m2 test array already deployed. If the LHC energy is substantially increased in 2012, the test array could be replaced by another one of similar size and the stacks exposed to 7 TeV data would be analysed in 2012.

Totem: Technical risks: radiation damage of detectors close to beam, for example silicon sensors in RPs; extraction of T1 and T2 during LS1; extraction of silicon sensors and relocation of the present RP147m enclosures. LHCf: No risk. MoEDAL: None identified.Risks

Totem: Data-taking with p-A run, in common with CMS. Pursue analysis of several data sets (1km, diffraction, p-A). Extract T1 and T2 for maintenance. Extract silicon sensors from 147m Roman Pots and plan move of Pots to 220m locations. Start up general consolidation and upgrade activities during LS1. LHCf: Physics run at the highest possible energy. Upgrade of detectors with GSO (= more radiation hard) scintillator. Also data-taking in proton-ion collisions. MoEDAL: Recording data at the highest possible LHC energy for an integrated luminosity of > 10 fb-1.

Figure 4: LHC programme: LHC experiments (cont.), detectors consolidation & computing

Upgrades to several services during LS1 to better exploit the available networks grid-wide; anticipate significantly increased data rates following LS1 as trigger rates will be increased. Continual integration of new grid sites, and investigation of potential new cloud resources. Good prospects for more commonality between experiments, hopefully leading to improved efficiency and decreasing support loads.

- Provided a stable and reliable computing service for physics during the whole of 2012, with no significant service interruptions; the level of effort required is reported as sustainable;- Supported significantly increased data rates from all experiments, due to much higher trigger rates and additional “parked” data; Close to 30 PB has been written to tape from the 2012 run, with data rates to tape routinely between 4 and 6 GB/s;- Data exports from CERN run at 2 GB/s or more continuously, additional bandwidth is available when needed; integrated data transfers worldwide often reach 15 GB/s;- Grid-wide CPU delivered increased 20% over 2011, with full occupation of the resources by all 4 experiments.

2012 Achievements

Risks

- Indications of pledged resource levels for 2013 and 2014 are in-line with requirements during LS1, however, increase in need for 2015 may not be matched by available funding; - Additional Tier 0 capacity must be accommodated in the new Data Centre in Budapest, this still has risk associated until large scale testing has been performed;- With the end of the EMI and part of the EGI EC-funded projects, grid-service staffing at CERN is reduced. The available level of staffing is not sufficient to fully develop new technologies to improve efficiency, while maintaining an adequate Tier 0 service.

consolidation


All facilities were operated successfully with the amount of beam being close to or above the agreed value.- The availability of the various machines was very high.- The neutron Time-of-Flight facility received more beam than was originally promised due to a longer running time and an optimization of the sharing between different facilities.- The AD facility had a record year with an exceptional availability of beam of 91%.- In the North Area of the SPS, a dedicated run was scheduled using Pb- ions to produce fragmented beryllium at low energy. This run continues early in 2013 for two further energies.- The final run of CNGS delivered 3.9x1019 protons on target. The accumulated number of protons on target over the 5-year running period was 81% of the original forecast. Consolidation of the CERN electrical network: consolidation of SPS 18 kV power cables, contract adjudication for the consolidation of the 66 kV protection systems.Studies and contract adjudication for the consolidation of the cooling and ventilation systems of the PS.Definition of the East Area renovation plan.Start of n_TOF EAR2 studies.Approval of a clas- A laboratory for ISOLDE including CERN-MEDICIS project.Studies for AD target consolidation.Design of a new PSB beam dump in the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade project.Demonstrated the substantial suppression of losses in the SPS using a bent crystal as primary collimator.Test beams in UA9, H4IRRAD and HiRadMat.

2012 Achievements

Risks

Delivery of beams to all users with the maximum overall efficiency. All the non-LHC physics programmes are done in parallel with operation for LHC injection. Continuation of accelerator consolidation to ensure reliable operation of the LHC and fixed-target physics experiments, e.g. PS access system, 18 kV cables for the SPS and the SPS power converters.

2012 Goals

- Specific risks have been identified and mitigation measures are underway. LINAC4 is being prepared for connection from 2015 onwards should a major failure of LINAC2 occur (if LINAC2 working well though, connection to the PS Booster will take place during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (2018)). Extensive risk assessment of a 25-year consolidation programme will drive planning. Availability of personnel will determine the capacity to carry out the consolidation work. Renovating the general infrastructure is necessary to reduce operation and maintenance costs (cooling, ventilation, electricity distribution, powering, lighting, etc.).- The consolidation projects are organised in such a way that during the year, if new insights in risk are obtained, priorities are shifted and the items with the highest priority will have budget allocated. In addition to the accelerators themselves, risks to the experimental programme exist due to the state of experimental areas, beam line equipment and infrastructure. Mitigation will involve extensive renovation and consolidation of these zones.

The infrastructure degradation has been slowed down but with more than 6000 incidents and 3600 requests for support in 2012 the efforts just to maintain an aging , large and distributed site are considerable. The gas and fire detection systems (respectively 800 and 8000 detectors in total) have been maintained as planned despite some serious subcontractor issues. The hardwired alarm monitoring system has been equipped with a new redundant powering scheme. The central helpdesk with its backing support structures, offering a single point of contact in Bat 55 is a clear success with more than 88000 incidents and 107000 request for support recorded over the last 18 months. In addition to the GS and IT departments, the HR and FP departments integrated during 2012 this facility, offering to their many users a coherent, single point of contact. Inventory of ventilation equipment in the LHC complex has been done and will be completed at the end of the accelerator run when some ventilation units will be accessibleNew maintenance management office aiming at standardising maintenance practices and adapting the associated computing tools.

The increased budget with respect to 2008 aims to further improve the services offered to the users and staff as well as the operation & maintenance of the sites and their infrastructures, particularly in terms of fire & gas detection as recommended by SAPOCO.A central helpdesk will be provided to users/staff/contractors to improve the quality of services offered using relevant key performance indicators, best practices and standardisation of support processes wherever possible.

Future prospects & longer termProactive measures such as data backups, multi-site hosting and increased critical power for IT services all contribute to increased availability and performance while ensuring that the business continuity needs of the Organization are met.

- Unavailability of services due to causes such as software or hardware failures, damaged data due to corruption, human errors or deliberate actions.- Computer Security continues to be a major concern due to CERN’s high profile and the continuing high number of attacks attempts combined with their increased sophistication and the distributed nature of CERN’s Informatics.- Several companies are raising significantly their software licences fees profiting from a market with few competitors.

The functioning of the basic infrastructure is more and more compromised by the urgent need for consolidation of both technical and general infrastructure at the end of their lifetime. The extreme cold in February 2012 caused numerous breaks in the district heating system’s piping and created even more leaking roofs.Main effort will continue with corrective maintenance - the long-term goal is preventive maintenance. The higher number of users and other persons on the sites increases the pressure on the ageing infrastructure and will necessarily increase the volume of corrective maintenance.

Future prospects & longer termFurther improve services to the users and staff as well as the maintenance of the site for reliable operation. Improved car-sharing should allow a reduction of the car fleet. The infrastructure consolidation programme and the move to “public transport” will improve energy usage and permit the use of more energy-efficient transport facilities.

Risks

- The services were generally delivered to users' satisfaction.- The consolidation of the CERN Computer Centre in B513 is nearing completion with increased protected power & cooling for critical IT services.- The remote hosting contract to Wigner was concluded, offering further prospects for off-site business continuity.- In addition to continuous Responses to security incidents, the CERN bulletin featured regularly computer security awareness articles.- The TETRA radio communication infrastructure for the Fire Brigade was commissioned.- A review of the administrative applications suite (AIS) has been performed and a project for reengineering the tools aiming at more automation and integration has started.- The INSPIRE HEP Information Service built by CERN, DESY, Fermilab and SLAC has started to operate, building on CERN’s Invenio technology.- The SCOAP3 contracts for the provision of open access publication services with 10 publishers have been established, enabling the move of HEP publishing to Open Access.

2012 Achievements


2012 Goals

Ensure adequate level of availability of the informatics services including data-loss protection (backups) against accidental errors or human mistakes for its user base, as well as perform capacity planning to anticipate the needs. Ensure prompt corrective actions in the event of service failures. Protect and educate against the risks of computer security vulnerabilities.Launch a re-engineering programme of the administrative information applications suite.

Future prospects & longer term Continuing streamline administrative processes and regularly review and establish best practices to maintain the service level with constant resources in spite of growing demands and users.

2012 Achievements

The service catalogue was expanded to include HR services, finance and procurement services, which are now defined. The 2nd phase of the Five-Yearly Review and Pension Fund package of measures were implemented. The competence model was introduced and all staff members trained. The review on the various statutes of associated members of personnel was completed and integration finalized. The Council iniative on diversity was supported by opening the diversity office and raising awareness. Optimised cash flow management allowed for reducing the deficit and to avoid taken on commercial loans. Development on financial KPI reporting and controlling processes further advanced, with a common software platform being developed.

Future prospects & longer term Further improvement in the field of Occupational Health and Safety as well as Environmental Protection for both radiological and conventional aspects with reference to CERN’s Safety Policy.

Too low workforce to cope with increasing variety of national programmes, additional constraints from the outside and higher number of users. This is particularly the case for the recruitment office as well as for procurement as there is a strongly increasing amount of contracts and orders to be issued and managed within constant work force.Finances & Accounting:A shorter payment delay to institutes will impact cash management at CERN. Furthermore, the difficulties of some Member States to meet its obligations towards CERN on time may result in the Organization having to start taking commercial loans to ensure ongoing operations.

Integration of the service portal across all services in the Organization. Review in-house versus outsourcing. For Human Resources: implementation of Five-Yearly Review outcome and Pension Fund package of measures to restore full funding (2nd phase); support for Council initiatives.

Occupational Health and Safety:- Reduction of the number of injuries (incl. more complete incident reporting)- Safety training and safety training refresher courses- Towards a systematic risk analysis and elaboration of safety files (workplaces, operation of equipment/facilities)Emergency preparedness and incident management:Installation of a new encrypted radiocommunications system for the Fire Brigade compatible with the Host States’ emergency networks. Installation of a fire simulator. Upgrade of the Fire Brigade's heavy vehicles (ambulances, fire engines). Installation of a modern OHS information system.Radiation protection:- Limit and monitor prompt radiation, limit induced activity (reduce beam losses, shielding, studies, …), RP optimisation – ALARA, rad. waste management: towards elimination of wasteSafe operation, maintenance and consolidation of CERN beams facilities:- Implement Chamonix 2009 recommendations to improve safety of LHC operation.Environmental protection:- Inventory, assessment and priorities in matters of environmental protection actions.

Occupational Health and Safety:- Reduction of the number of injuries (incl. more complete incident reporting).2012 CERN corporate Safety objectives included incident investigation and follow-up.Total number of accidents (253 at work, 50 commuting) about the same as in 2011.- Safety training and safety training refresher courses: 3778 persons trained in 480 class-room courses of 51 different types. ≈12000 Persons trained using E-learning.Emergency preparedness and incident management:- Medical service has installed a new modern OHS information system. An assessment of the Organization’s sanitary emergency management capabilities was launched in 2012. A report on asbestos and occupational health isssues was presented. The new radiocommunication system is in the process of being installed. A fire simulator has been successfully installed and is used in the regular training sessions. Some of the firebrigade’s heavy and outdated vehicles have been replaced (modern ambulance, fire/equipment carrier truck). trucks).Radiation protection:- Further consolidation of CERN’s radiation monitoring system. Replacement of ARCON (system of the 80’s) by RAMSES in injector chain almost completed.- Management and operation of 8061 dosimeters: Reduction of collective dose (494 mSv) by 7% compared to 2011. No one has received a higher dose than 2mSv.- Launch of ActiWiz, a very successful engineering tool for material choice and waste forecast in view of radioactive exposure.- Continued corporate effort in reducing beam losses in accelerator chain.- Part of 2012 CERN Corporate Safety Objectives: Job and dose planning for all level 2 and 3 works done in line with ALARA principle.- Radioactive waste removal pathway opened to France. 96 tonnes of radioactive waste already removed from CERN site.- principles of free release agreed with Swiss authorities, machinery to perform free release commissioned.Safe operation, maintenance and consolidation of CERN beams facilities:- Full implementation of the Chamonix 2009 recommendations to improve safety of LHC operation.- Towards a systematic elaboration of safety files and related procedures with 99 projects were given traceable Safety advice, plus 5 experiments from AD, 7 from ISOLDE and 2 from the SPS North Hall.Environmental protection:- Inventory, assessment and priorities in matters of environmental protection actions: Reduction of acoustic noise emissions and energy saving.- Conventional waste management: First annual report on conventional waste in collaboration with GS and FP Departments.- Energy saving potentials were analysed and intermediate results presented by the CERN energy coordinator.

Lack of preventive measures might lead to incidents impacting people, the environment or investments. Insufficient safety measures could have operational and financial consequences and an impact on CERN's reputation. Lack of emergency preparedness increases the impact of incidents and delays adequate response to alarms.

2012 Goals

Not pursuing the infrastructure consolidation entails serious risks for both the functioning of the accelerators and working conditions for the staff. Scarcity of personnel which will determine the capacity to carry out the consolidation items.

Building 867 renovation project is terminated with special radioactive workshop air extraction systems installed. Building 107 project successfully started and underway. AMS POCC handed over to AMS and in production. Civil engineering in Building 513 is terminated as well as in HIE-ISOLDE. The foundations for the new building 774 (replaces Building 936) has already been laid. Installation of new barracks for the delocalization of control rooms outside the AD hall. The SL53 project which is part of the Pt consolidation project - CMS offices and visitor centre-has been launched in 2012. The Building 30 renovation (carbonatation treatment) is well underway- delays are mainly due to unfavorable wether conditions. Building 165 (Cryolab) is completely renovated. Asbestos removal continues – building 185 is renovated. The IT auditorium (bld 31) is renovated after the inundation that occurred in the 2012 winter. The creation of the 774 building will free office space on the Prevessin site. Civil engineering work on the CCC is well under way.

Refurbishment of accelerator-related buildings and office buildings threatened by concrete carbonation. Completion of the approved project for Building 867 (grouping together of all workplaces for radioactive equipment) and start of the new Building 107 for all surface finishing activities to comply with safety and environmental directives. The AMS POCC will be completed and handed over to AMS while the civil engineering for the Building 513 extension and the HIE-ISOLDE is expected to be terminated. Construction work for the CCC consolidation project. Delocalisation of control rooms outside the AD hall. Start of Pavillion renovation (Building 936) and completion of consolidation work on the CMS site.The global site consolidation project is spread over at least 10 years and site maintenance will then have to be maintained at a consistent level to avoid further deterioration. Additional office buildings are also planned in order to host an increasing number of users.

Promoting CERN's achievements and possibilities even further in all areas (research, technology, education, training). Sustaining interest in particle physics when the LHC enters a long period of running after the first long shutdown. Stimulate knowledge transfer and generate more partnerships. Promote CERN's achievements and possibilities even further in all areas (research, technology, education, training).

Internal taxation The internal taxation appears in centralised expenses and offsets the equivalent heading in revenues. The personnel costs in all other headings are thus without internal taxation.

The amount of staff members exercising their saved leave or compensation leave usually at the end of their career, the heading is funded by the provision for “amortization of staff benefits accruals”.

This heading aims to enhance internal mobility between Departments by helping to pay salary differences between an experienced staff member and a new recruit.

CERN personnel that is detached, i.e. working for a collaboration or other institute. CERN receives these personnel costs as revenues.

Personnel and goods insurances as well as the postal charges.Risks: Increasing insurances fees pending on the macroeconomic environment.

The running costs for the CERN hostels in personnel and materials.

Centralised expenses

This heading is dominated by the CERN share of the health insurance scheme for the pensioners, the costs for personnel arrivals and departures and unemployment benefits. These costs can be estimated but there is no specific goal associated. The amount will continue raising due to the increasing number of CERN pensioners as well as the Council approved higher health insurance contribution rate. Risks: The heading centralised personnel expenses depends on the validity of the actuarial assumptions for the Health Insurance scheme and is therefore subject to changes that are not within the Management’s control.

Interest and financial costs


This heading is dominated by the electricity supply. It further includes heating gases and water costs. Risks: It is likely that energy costs will further increase. Whereas these increases were absorbed by the stronger Swiss Franc in the last two years, it can be expected that the next increase will have an important impact on the next Cost-Variation Index.Future prospects & longer term: Following an Internal Audit Report, the management of energy and water will be split such as to aim for a more efficient use of heating gases and water consumption.

RisksThere is no risk on the interest rates for CERN’s fixed and contractual long-term loans (i.e. the FIPOI loans for buildings and the reimbursement of the loan for the Pension Fund). However, if an important fraction of CERN’s Member States’ would not be in a position to pay their contributions, additional short-term as part of the normal cash-management might again become necessary. This risk cannot be avoided by the Management.

The lower expenses are essentially due to less energy consumption and the fact that the financial costs of a SIG loan is no longer part of this heading

Expenses in line with experience in 2011 . The difference to the budget is used to reduce the deficit.

The CTF3 measurements have successfully demonstrated the key feasibility issues for the CLIC accelerator concept, including two beam acceleration above 100 MV/m. Measurements in X-band test facilities at KEK and SLAC show that the required breakdown rates can be achieved for the key RF components of the machine. All these measurements are documented in the comprehensive Conceptual Design Report for the CLIC accelerator studies. A shorter summary volume includes additionally a description of a staged implementation that optimizes the physics reach over a large energy range, schedules, costs and power, as well as the programme of work for next phase of the project 2012-16 for both accelerator and detector/physics studies. The CDR documents are all completed and available. A short strategy document, summarizing the main results of the studies, outlook and implementation discussions, was submitted as input to the European Strategy process. During the year the work-packages for the period 2012-2016 have become the dominating technical activities and around 75 expressions of interests from the collaboration concerning involvement are progressively being implemented. The work-programme has been fully adapted to the resources in the current MTP over the same period.The final composition of the global Linear Collider Organization that will become operational in 2013 was defined in 2012. This organisation will pursue a possible Higgs factory based on ILC technology in Japan, and in parallel developing CLIC as a future energy frontier option at CERN after LHC.

Complete CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) measurements to address major CLIC technical issues and demonstrate performances of the novel two-beam acceleration scheme with nominal parameters (100 MV/m at 10-7 breakdown rate).Complete final version of Conceptual Design of a Multi-TeV Linear Collider in stages.Develop plans for next phase of the CLIC project preparation in time for the European Strategy for Particle Physics in 2012. Contribute to discussion of and participate in future governance structures for a Linear Collider as a global project.

Contribute, on the physics and detector side, to the preparation of a CLIC implementation plan by 2016. Interpret LHC physics results and adapt Linear Collider goals accordingly. Continue simulation studies for CLIC detector optimization. Perform Linear Collider detector R&D in the domains of: vertex detector R&D for CLIC, fine-grained calorimetry to Linear Collider specifications including control of cost, power delivery and power pulsing, reinforced conductor for a large detector solenoid, engineering studies addressing the challenges of constructing and operating experiments at a future Linear Collider.

At this early stage, there are no specific risks attached to this project yet.

Following the publication of the CLIC physics and detector Conceptual Design Report (CDR) an additional volume of the CLIC CDR was produced in collaboration with the CLIC accelerator study. It takes into account recent LHC results and provides an outlook towards a possible CLIC project implementation. This CDR volume served as the basis for input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics. ILC-DBDs: Essential contributions to the software development, the benchmark process studies and the editing of the ILC DBD were made. Concerning the hardware R&D, beam tests were performed at the PS and SPS with a 1m3 fine-grained hadron calorimeter prototype based on tungsten absorbers and Resistive Plate Chambers with fully digital readout. The vertex detector R&D made good progress in the domains of device simulation, microelectronics readout design, power pulsing and engineering; beam tests were performed at DESY and at CERN. Analysis of reinforced conductor samples produced in 2011 indicate that the co-extrusion technology seems feasible for larger cross sections as needed for future detector solenoids.

Based on the CLIC Conceptual Design Report, provide relevant input on linear collider physics and detectors for the update process of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (due in 2012). Take into account the incoming LHC results. Participate in the ILC Detailed Baseline Document (DBD) for the SiD and ILD detector concepts (due end 2012). Perform hardware R&D in the priority areas of: compact hadron calorimetry, CLIC vertex detector R&D, power delivery and power pulsing, reinforced conductor for a large detector solenoid (ongoing activites).

Preparation of Project Implementation Plan by 2016 based on the programme of work now underway and initialplanning of a Preparation Phase 2017-2022 with focus on system performance optimisation, further industrial involvements and site authorization and preparation, as final steps before eventual construction.

Provision of accelerated ions A=6 to A=238 between 0.7 and 10 MeV/A to ISOLDE users by 2018 in 3 stages: 5.5 MeV/A in 2015, 10 MeV/A in 2017 and deceleration down to 0.7 MeV/A in 2018 or later.It should be noted that no external funding is currently pledged for the last 2 stages, therefore, a rescheduling of stages 2 and 3 is unavoidable.

Technical: some accelerator components are of novel design and require prototyping (Nb-sputtered superconducting copper cavities). In case of failure, alternative solutions exist but could lead to delay in the schedule. Financial: SC Linac financed entirely through external funds. Possible concerns are related to realities of funding which may cause complicated procurement strategies.The HIE-ISOLDE project competes with other activities at CERN during LS1. This jeopardizes the timely completion of Phase 1 of the project by 2015.A shortfall of both, CERN funding and external funding, has been identified by the Cost and Schedule Review; resources (M+P) remains to be secured.

The Civil Engineering works have been completed and the installation of the general services has started.The contract for the supply of 4 SC solenoids for the 4 high-beta cryomodules was attributed.10 3D forged copper billets were procured for the manufacturing of the first series of superconducting high-beta RF cavities for phase-1.The procurement of the cavity alignment mechanism, helium vessel and vacuum vessel including the top plate for the fisrt 2 high-beta cryomodules was launched through the CATE contract KE2021.The re-use of the cryogenic plant previously used by the ALEPH experiment was decided; this leads to a cost saving but leaves an uncertainty on the cryogenic power for the phases beyond Phase 1.The procurement of the High-Energy Beam Transfer line components was delayed following the request by the physics community of an additional beam line already in Phase-1.

Installation and commissioning of the ELENA ring while using the existing beam-lines for delivery of pbars at 100MeV/c in 2016. Once the ELENA commissioning is completed, all the present transfer lines for the present experiments at 5 MeV kinetic energy will be dismantled and the new electrostatic transfer lines for 100 keV kinetic energy will be installed during the shutdown 2016/17. The first antiproton beam from ELENA to the experiments is foreseen for summer 2017 after commissioning of the new 100 keV lines.A second experimental area and a future experiment GBar have been approved. As a consequence, an additional building to house AD equipment and serving as stoirage place and a second ELENA extraction and low energy transfer line have been approved with the required resources.

Delays to the physics programme if ELENA installation/commissioning is prolonged.

The project has been set up with a well defined structure and work packages with budget allocations over the contruction and commissioning period. The basic machine layout and “lattice” have been fixed and updated estimates of beam parameters are available. Design and specifications of hardware components have been started and are underway.

Future prospects & longer termR&D computing supported by EU: IT is preparing a strategy for engagement in the forthcoming Horizon 2020 EC programme. This strategy will rely on collaboration with other research communities and industry in order to attract EC funding (including EGI, Helix Nebula, OpenAIRE+, the CERN OpenLab project and EIROforum). R&D for detectors: Prepare for future generation of detector systems.

The LINAC4 schedule has been revised to be consistent with the long-term CERN accelerator schedule: the accelerator will be completed at end 2015 and tests aiming at assessing and improving reliability will take place in 2016/2017. If LINAC2 is functioning well, it is foreseen the connection to the PS Booster will take place during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (2018).


For HP-SPL, technical and financial: quality and completeness of the R&D until 2015 will directly impact on the collaboration agreement with ESS: delays would be disruptive for the ESS Project.

RisksMain remaining technical risks concern commissioning with a beam from an ion source, RFQ and chopper: unexpected problems could require repair or improvement programmes with related costs and delay.

2012 Achievements

The new ion source and the RFQ have been completed and installed in the 3 MeV Test Stand; beam measurements have been performed at the source exit and full 3 MeV tests will start at beginning of 2013. The first DTL segment, 5 CCDTL modules and 1.5 PIMS modules have been completed, corresponding to about 25% of all accelerating structures; the remaining DTL and CCDTL modules are in advanced stages of construction. The main cabling in the building has been completed, installation of the RF network is finished and 5 klystrons out of 16 are in position; installation of electronics has started.

Risks

R&D computing supported by EU: - Diversion of matching manpower required for many EC projects from the organisations scientific programme. - A number of EC funded projects (EMI, EGI-InSPIRE, EnviroGrids and eScienceTalk) will come to an end in 2013 reducing the manpower CERN has available to support the maintenance and development of the grid computing infrastructure as well as the dissemination results.- There are no further suitable funding calls foreseen in FP7 which means there is no possibility of replacing the manpower with EC funded effort during 2013. R&D for detectors: None.

2012 Achievements

ICE-DIP will start in February 2013.R&D for detectors: Continued contribution to RD18 (crystals), RD50 (silicon sensors) and RD51 (Micro Pattern Gas detectors), development of new cooling technologies (microchannels, CO2). These R&Ds are an essential input to the upgrade plans of LHC experiments during the future shutdowns.

2012 Goals

R&D computing supported by EU: Ensure the distributed computing infrastructure deployed by the LCG project can continue to support the increasing data quantities and processing needs of the Laboratory's physics programme. Expand CERN's influence in a range of scientific disciplines through distributed computing, exascale data management and open access digital repositories.

Construction of cavities in industry has been delayed after the discovery of defects in a single cell test cavity. After analysis and definition of the correcting measures, fabrication has resumed and delivery is now expected during the first half of 2013. The electropolishing process has been validated on a single-cell cavity from CEA. Two high-power RF couplers have reached the required characteristics. Tuners have been delivered by CEA (France). The design of the cryomodule has been finalized in collaboration with IN2P3 (France) and mechanical parts will be ordered in 2013. The upgrade of the cryogenics of the SM18 test facility has started.The HiRadMat facility ended its first year of operations with nine experiments successfully completed. These included a robustness test of: an LHC collimator, an SPS to LHC extraction diluter, and of a bend crystal assembly before its installation in the LHC. Other experiments focused on R&D issues on future beam intercepting devices with a test of candidate materials for LHC collimators that collected useful data using novel online measurement techniques (fast photography, vibration and stress measurements) that would allow comparisons with simulation models, and two experiments related to high-power R&D for targets and of the response of RP monitoring devices to pulsed radiation fields. The EUROnu FP7/EU funded study was concluded in August 2012. Its final report summarizes the physics potential of three large-scale neutrino physics facilities: a 4-MW SuperBeam, a γ=100 Beta-Beam, and a low-energy Neutrino Factory, with the latter to be the preferred option for precision studies in the neutrino sector.


R&D for a high-power SPL is based on the work done for the LP-SPL. Four superconducting cavities will be delivered and measured in a vertical cryostat in 2013. A fifth cavity will be built by the CERN workshop and tested in a vertical cryostat during 2013. The auxiliary equipment and the mechanical parts for the cryomodule will be available before the end of 2013. The upgrade of the SM18 test place (2K cryogenics, clean room upgrade and MW-class 704 MHz RF system) will finish in 2013. The assembly of the string of 4 cavities in the cryomodule itself will take place in 2014. High-power RF tests of the assembled cryomodule is planned to begin before the end of 2014. A report will be published in 2015 summarizing the achievements and complementing the LP-SPL Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for high beam power. The objectives of the SPL R&D after 2014 will be decided as a function of the scientific strategy of the Organization, taking into account the achievements at that date. Studies continue within the present resource limitations on neutrino physics through the EU-funded LAGUNA-LBNO project, and towards a possible implementation of a Neutrino Facility in the SPS North Area including a short-baseline neutrino beam to support search of anomalous neutrino oscillations and neutrino detector development and large-scale prototype testing combining neutrino and charged particle beams.The creation of a test area for a Plasma Wake-Field Acceleration scheme is also under study, probably in an initial step re-using the CNGS beam line that concluded (verbally confirmed by DG) operation in 2012.

2012 GoalsCompl.the beam measurements on the 3 MeV test stand. Compl the construction of the DTL and CCDTL accelerating structures and of the first batches of PIMS structures.

The move of the LHC shutdown and the decision to connect LINAC4 in Long Shutdown 2 has caused a reprofiling of the LINAC4 construction and commissioning. The pace of expenses was consequently slowed down in 2012.

The personnel out-turn is higher than the budget due to the direct allocation of some staff from the workshop to this activity (fabrication of RF quadrupole), as well as more fellows assigned to the project.

R&D for HL-LHC detectors


Beam studies and tests in the PSB, PS and SPS with a view to refining the needs and specifying the required equipment.

Beam studies have progressed as planned and will continue in 2013 until the start of LS1. Their status was reviewed in August 2012 to make the best use of the remaining beam time. The acquired knowledge will allow refining the necessary upgrades at the beginning of 2013. The project planning has been adapted to the new LHC schedule foreseeing the connection of LINAC4 to the PSB during LS2 in 2018. A number of technological choices have been validated (digital beam control and new RF system in the PSB, new beam gymnastics in the PS, beam scraping technique in the SPS etc.) and the design of the future hardware has now started. Some equipment has been prepared for installation during LS1 and the necessary cabling has been negotiated.

Technical: the upgraded LHC will not reach its goal and deliver the expected integrated luminosity if the injectors do not reliably deliver beams of proper characteristics.

The LIU project defines and coordinates the work programme necessary for the LHC proton and ion injectors to meet the nominal LHC and HL-LHC requirements in terms of reliability and beam characteristics until the end of the LHC lifetime. A Technical Design Report (TDR) will be published in 2013 together with a refined estimate of the resources and schedule. The implementation of the main hardware upgrades is planned for the second long LHC shutdown LS2 in 2018. Some equipment will be installed in the accelerators during LS1 (e.g. PSB: prototype RF system and new beam dump, PS: shielding and longitudinal damper, SPS: coating of additional magnet vacuum chambers and new wire scanner…). Design will be finalized and construction of most other equipment will start in 2013-2014.

Machine Development to understand the present LHC intensity limitations (at different bunch spacings) and optics studies.Final qualification of Nb3Sn superconductor with a small model coil (SMC). Construction of large aperture high gradient quadrupole (HQ). Possible construction of the cold-warm transition necessary for DS collimators in 2013. Test of the first long SC link and of the first 11 T short model dipole.

The MD (Machine Development) studies on LHC have allowed to fully qualify: i) the Achromatic Telescope Scheme (ATS) scheme with beam; ii) the 25 ns bunch spacing (although not in an extensive way as wished); iii) compensation for beam-beam effect (octupoles and beam tune split). The nominal LHC current was reached, although at lower energy. On the technology side, three SMCs with various Nb3Sn superconductors have been fully manufactured but not yet tested due to testing queue in the test station (renewal of SM18 testign facility and need to test magnets that will be installed in LHC during LS1, which has priority): test is foreseen from March 2013. The aperture of the inner triplet quadruopole was fixed in June 2012, which allowed to launch the construction process of the HQ, now called MQXF. The design is in an advanced stage in the collaboration CERN-USLARP. The first large tooling for this project (a large 3 m long furnace for 700 C reaction) has been successfully installed at CERN. The first larger NbTi quadrupole (MQXC) has been completed and successfully tested. New very positive results: the first prototype of a Crab Cavity was delivered by the University of Lancaster and the Cockroft Institute to CERN for chemical processing and cold testing in spring 2013.The CERN-Fermilab collaboration ifinished and and tested the first 11 T prototype: results are positive but not final: 10.4 T was reached (or 95% of the goal). A new 1 m long prototype has been quickly launched by Fermilab to reach the full goal. The cold-warm transition has been almost finished (some delay, due to lower priority with respect to LS1 works; it will be tested in 2013). On the front of SC link and the development of the round wire in MgB2 was achieved (not existing before) and a short cable has been manufactured and successfully tested.The version of 12-20 m long is now under construction. Meanwhile, the new test facility has been commissioned and the cable will be tested in spring 2013.

-For each equipment based on new technology a back-up plan (less technically challenging with however some loss in performance) is being identified. New machine studies are under way to understand possible hard limits; these may influence the design parameters of the HL-LHC. The new ATS has been fully tested in the present LHC: it works so well that probably it will be implemented in LHC well before the HiLumi run, so the risk here is virtually zero.- High Field Magnet (HFM) programme and especially the associated US-LARP programme have shown that most of the issues can be solved: the only area of risk today is theMagnet Protection that is not yet fully tested with adequate redundancy and margin. However, the fall-back solution is provided by the large aperture NbTi quadrupole of Phase-1 (for this reason a 2 m long quadrupole of NbTi has been completedand tested).- Inability of using Crab Cavity: mitigation measure through use of Long Range beam-beam compensation wire and smaller crossing angle or the use of flat beams: loss in performance: 25-30% in peak and integrated; loss of the ideal leveling system.- Delays in the objectives caused by possible inherent difficulties, conductor deliveries or budget cuts from partners could have an impact on the readiness for the magnet design and the consequent luminosity upgrade. Tooling not yet ready. The availability of manpower will be challenging due to the splice consolidation work in the 2013-2014 shutdown.- A new area of risk has risen: it is related to the new concept of pile-up density. This new concept, emerged in the HL-LHC coordination group, is under discussion with the experiment collaborations.

HL-LHC will provide a global framework for all upgrade R&D studies and hardware modifications on the LHC necessary to upgrade the luminosity well beyond initial design (potentially a factor 25 in peak luminosity).All consolidation activities on LHC, beyond the ones agreed to, assume spare parts and assume reaching the original design values (in practice all acitivity beyond LS1), are beinggradually merged into the project and harmonized with the scope of the upgrade to avoid double counting and scattered intervention.The HFM programme is incorporated into HL-LHC as an independent work package devoted to generic High Field technology development. A further WP, called HE-LHC, contains a task “Magnets for Collider” to take care of the R&D and design issues aimed at the HE-LHC magnets. The FP7-EuCARD2-WP10 is incorporated into this WP. HL-LHC is the necessary step towards HE-LHC in terms of technology. From 2013, HE-LHC studies will incorporate the newly proposed VHE-LHC ,based on the 80 km tunnel launched by the Director of Accelerators in June 2012.

Continue R&D and in some cases start procurements and construction of components which will be installed during technical stops or the 2 shutdowns planned around 2013 or 2017 before the bulk LHC run. The planned CERN participation will mainly focus on: DAQ, TPC readout and ITS improvement for ALICE, insertable B layer (IBL) and trigger for ATLAS, new pixel detector, luminosity telescope, 4th RPC station and DAQ for CMS, new electronics for a 40 MHZ trigger for LHCb.

The LS1/2 upgrades plans of all 4 main LHC experiments have been endorsed by LHCC. Among highlights in 2012:ATLAS: IBL components being procured, ready for assembly; new Pixel services ready. New Inner Detector cooling plants under procurement. New small wheel technologies decided and tested in beams.CMS: YE4 yoke under assembly, 4th RPC and CSC production started, CO2 cooling plant for new pixel detector under procurement, demonstrator of new DAQ system.ALICE: ITS: several sensors/electronics technologies evaluated, prototyping of mechanics, cooling and integration. TPC: GEM-IROC prototype tested in beam.LHCb: test of different sensor technologies (strips vs pixels) for new VELO, evaluation of scintillating fiber tracker prototype (option for upgraded central tracker).In parallel, generic R&D is continuing on common electronics (90 and 130 nm deep submicron technology, power conversion and distribution, fast Gigabit links), cooling and novel detector technologies.Without these upgrades, the performance of the detectors would not be optimal and would not allow taking full profit of the luminosity of the LHC. Due to radiation damage and increased pileup, upgrades are a mandatory condition for running the detectors during the HL-LHC phase.Prepare for optimal exploitation of LHC at ultimate luminosity.

The personnel heading of the LHC detectors improvement and R&D for LHC detectors improvement has increased significantly, due to reallocation of personnel from the scientific support heading to this activity.

Variations Out-Turn with respect to Budget 1.9 367

The main reason for the increase of personnel strength is due to transfer from materials to personnel for GET fellows. The materials budget was not fully committed due some delays in the project planning, which is now aligned to the LINAC4 connection in Long Shutdown 2.

1. Scientific Progress and Publications The performance of the LHC machine has been outstanding: integrated luminosities considerably exceeding expectations were delivered for the proton-proton run and this outstanding performance was matched by the achievement of record peak luminosities. In proton-proton mode, the LHC machine delivered an integrated luminosity exceeding 23 fb-1 to each of the experiments ATLAS and CMS, significantly above the announced expected 15 fb-1 goal for 2012 and with record instantaneous luminosities exceeding 7 × 1033 cm-2 s-1 at a centre of mass energy of 8 TeV. These record luminosities are due to the increased experience in operating the LHC machine and to the impact of enhanced maintenance and consolidation efforts. The LHC machine also ran successfully in proton-lead-ion mode for short machine studies, and physics data was collected by ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb.

The LHC experiments took data of excellent quality with high efficiency. As a result, more than 300 physics papers have been submitted to refereed physics journals and more than 1,600 conference presentations were made by the LHC experiments.

The highlight for 2012 was the observation of the Higgs-like boson by ATLAS and CMS. This year-on-year improvement in performance has allowed the LHC experiments to obtain important results quicker than expected. In addition to the spectacular discovery of a Higgs-like particle announced in July, the experiments have led to many other studies which have improved our understanding of the particle physics Standard Model.

For example, the inclusive jet cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum (spanning over 9 orders of magnitude) or the single and double vector bosons production have been accurately measured and found to be in agreement with next-to-leading-order calculations. The large Top quark production at LHC energy has already allowed precision measurements of the Top mass and production cross sections and the observation of spin correlations. Limits were increased for new physics such as super-symmetry models.

The main physics results of LHCb include the first evidence for Br(Bs → µ+µ-) = 3.2 × 10-9, which is in agreement with the Standard Model; the measurement of the ϕs (phase of the Bs oscillation amplitude) at ±0.09 rad; the measurement of the forward backward asymmetry (AFB) in B → K* µ+µ-; and the first measurement of CKM angle γ at ±16 deg.

Most of the 2012 running period for ALICE was devoted to running in proton-proton mode to collect statistics of minimum bias and rare triggers to serve as reference data for the Pb-Pb data collected in 2011 and 2012. TOTEM measured the total cross-section in a luminosity-independent mode at high β* and collected data for diffractive processes with triggers in common with

CMS. LHCf completed its primary physics analysis of the π0 spectra at the 7 TeV collision energy. MoEDAL deployed new detectors and took data in proton-proton collision mode. Analysis of the MoEDAL data is in progress after removal of the test array.

The performance of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) continued to be outstanding, providing a stable and reliable computing service for physics and allowing a very fast reconstruction and analysis of the data. A total of close to 30 PB of data were written to tape for the 2012 LHC physics period. The WLCG supported significantly higher data rates from all experiments due to much higher trigger rates and additional ‘parked’ data. There was a continued growth in the number of end-users of the WLCG for physics analysis, with at present more than one third of the collaboration members of all the LHC experiments using the service. A contract was concluded with the Wigner Institute in Budapest to host the remote Tier-0, offering further prospects for off-site business continuity.

The non-LHC physics programme was also highly successful at all facilities – SPS, PS, AD, n_TOF and ISOLDE – as well as at the axion search experiments. OPERA and ICARUS completed their physics data-taking, with the former experiment reporting the observation of a second ντ candidate. The earlier surprising measurement of the neutrino time-of-flight by OPERA was not confirmed by further dedicated OPERA runs and by other experiments. Highlights at the AD include the publication in Nature of the first spectroscopy measurement with anti-hydrogen by ALPHA; the very precise measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment by ATRAP; the completion of the single-photon cold antiproton-He spectroscopy by ASACUSA; and the installation of the AEGIS experiment and the preliminary tests with antiprotons.

In the North Area, COMPASS measured the Primakoff effect and published results from their 2010 and 2008-2010 muon and hadron analyses; NA61 took proton-lead-ion reference data and started an energy scan with Be at 13 GeV/A; NA62 published its RK results and completed a test run with many of the sub-detectors; and NA63 took data to study the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect and structured target resonances. CLOUD continued its data-taking with improved detectors and advanced in its analysis of nucleation data collected previously. DIRAC took further data with a view to observing long-lived pionic atoms. The n_TOF programme was characterized by successful operation with several targets, providing results of interest to nuclear technology, medicine and astrophysics. Construction of the new neutron beam (n_TOF-EAR2) has been approved. A record number of physics experiments ran at ISOLDE, including a measurement of the 54Ca mass and the first use of beta-magnetic resonance imaging with liquids. CAST continued its He4 physics runs with improved detectors in their search for axions in the 0.4 eV region.

37

2012 saw the start of the performance improvement consolidation programme and of research for the HL-LHC project aimed at implementing the ambitious longer-term plans to provide a total integrated luminosity of the order of 3,000 fb-1 (recorded) by the end of the life of the LHC, implying an annual luminosity of about 250-300 fb-1 in the second decade of LHC operation. The HL-LHC phase will also entail modifications to components in the insertion regions of the machine whose performance will have deteriorated due to radiation effects, such as the inner triplet quadrupole magnets. Installation of the HL-LHC is scheduled for the 2022 long shutdown. LHC detector R&D and upgrades to make optimal use of the LHC luminosity are also underway.

The CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) measurements have successfully demonstrated the key feasibility issues for the CLIC accelerator concept, including the two-beam acceleration scheme with accelerating gradients exceeding 100 MeV/m within the required breakdown rates. The CLIC accelerator Conceptual Design Report has been completed and a position paper was submitted to the deliberations of the European Strategy for Particle Physics update.

Research in the Theory Unit (TH Unit) covers all areas of theoretical particle physics, as well as topics in particle astrophysics and cosmology. The TH Unit is strongly engaged in supporting the LHC physics programme, including both the proton and Pb-ion physics. Particular effort was devoted to the better understanding of Standard Model (SM) backgrounds, the investigation of the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking, the origin of mass and their hierarchy and the quantization of the gravitational interaction. One of the central issues was to understand the consequences of the discovery of a Higgs boson of around 125 GeV at the LHC for the validity of the Standard Model at high energies and for super-symmetry. Moreover, several directions beyond Standard Model physics were pursued, taking into account the present experimental constraints, including neutrinos and non-accelerator experiments. In Pb-ion physics, efforts have been concentrated on understanding the fundamental mechanism that underlies the energy loss of fundamental quarks and gluons. An important point concerns the interplay between particle physics measurements at colliders and the large amount of data coming from a diverse range of observations, including from astrophysics and cosmology. In the more formal theory fields, research focused on string theory, applications of gauge and gravity correspondence, lattice QCD, supergravity and non-perturbative gauge dynamics. The TH Unit members also play an active role in the study groups for CLIC and linear colliders in general, and for future upgrades of the LHC. The TH Unit published 369 TH preprints and hosted 66 fellows, 63 students and 770 short-term visitors (of which about 470 were paid by CERN) to collaborate with theoretical physicists and with the experiments. The TH Unit organised one physics school, four summer institutes and four workshops. The unit hosts 5 scientists with ERC advanced grants, one physicist on an ERC junior grant, and two ITN and one ICT European network grants.

2. Human Resources Status The total CERN staff member strength in 2012 was 2,423 FTEs, of which 2,354.3 FTEs were charged to CERN accounts and 68.7 FTEs to team accounts. 28 FTEs were using their saved leave, resulting in a staff strength of 2,326.3 active FTEs charged to CERN accounts, which is within the 5% flexibility around 2,250 active FTEs agreed by the Council.

The fellow strength corresponds to 513.2 FTEs including 482.2 FTEs charged to CERN accounts and 31 FTEs to team accounts. There were 21.8 FTEs of apprentices, all paid on CERN accounts. A total of 91.6 FTEs fellows were funded by EU, of which 62 FTEs are on Marie-Curie projects. Additional funding for 65 fellow-years was granted to CERN in 2012 for the future.

The Graduate Engineering Training programme has increased in importance. Some 91 fellows are on this sub-programme of the fellowship programme. CERN also had bilateral training programmes for some 110 students and young graduates with various Member States at the end of 2012.

Altogether, these training programmes and EU-supported fellowships contribute significantly towards attracting new talents into our field and developing the careers of fellows for the future.

The associated members of personnel amounted to more than 11,480 users, some 310 students and some 370 associates as at 31 December 2012. HR Review All HR activities were reviewed and simplifications introduced wherever possible (e.g. streamlining the administrative selection process and candidate claim reimbursement procedures, or eliminating multiple data entry for contracts). This review has also contributed to identifying an optimal functional structure for CERN HR, the aim of which is to develop a service and delivery partnership, relying on centres of expertise and an enhanced “Frontline” role. Recruitment 2012 saw over 30’000 applications received and 192 limited-duration contract selection boards held (compared with over 21’000 applications and 185 boards in 2011). The year was characterised by the conclusion of the wave of ‘flexibility post’ recruitments, an additional 50 posts beyond the planned level. Targeted sourcing actions were launched to encourage an increase in applications for specific positions, notably technicians at career path C level.

38

CERN Competency Model The CERN Competency Model, which provides coherent criteria throughout organisational processes to drive performance and continuous development of staff, became introduced as a keystone over the main HR processes (e.g. recruitment, indefinite contract awards and performance appraisal). Saved Leave Scheme In 2012, the existing Saved Leave Scheme, which allows staff to purchase "slices" of leave over and above the standard leave entitlement, was supplemented by a long-term component whereby additional days of leave can be accumulated and taken at the end of the staff member's career or contract. The objective of this new component is to enhance flexibility and thus CERN’s ability to attract and retain staff. CERN was awarded the 2012 "HR Innovation" prize at a recent Swiss human resources event for this scheme. More details are given in Figures 24 and 25. Learning and Development A new Learning and Development Policy was approved in 2012, based on the following underlying principles: learning as a strategic activity, developing the “whole” employee, ensuring equitable accessibility to all employed members of the personnel.

On average, each staff member spent about 2.7 working days on training in 2012. This figure does not include the training hours spent in academic lectures or training courses that are not organised by CERN. Students spent approximately 6 working days on training, and fellows around 5 working days (not counting conferences or workshop participation).

In 2012, 243 technical training sessions on software and system technologies, electronics/mechanical engineering, office software and physics took place; 70 in management and communication; 90 language classes and 520 safety courses. The total number of participants for all training courses amounted to 8,326 in 2012 (about 44% of the participants are staff members and one tenth are fellows).

1,045 teachers from 35 countries attended the CERN Teacher Programmes, either the international programme or one of the many sessions held in one of 18 national languages. Many teachers returned to CERN with their classes, and this together with daily general public visits resulted in about 85,000 visitors in 2012, continuing the upward trend of recent years. The CERN permanent exhibition – The Universe of Particles – received a total of 63,000 visitors in 2012. Diversity Initiatives were undertaken by the Diversity Office to, firstly, raise awareness and reinforce a greater understanding of the need to recognise, acknowledge and leverage the differences that people bring to the workplace (e.g. workshops

and conferences) and, secondly, to identify priority areas over the next two years. Pension Fund The 2010 and 2011 package of measures continues to be implemented with the aim of restoring the CERN Pension Fund to full funding within a 30-year projection period. The measures include an increase in the retirement age from 65 to 67 years for new members recruited on or after 1 January 2012, as well as changes to the total contribution rate, the contribution ratio, the annual accrual rate and the basis for calculating the pensionable salary for these members. In March 2012, an adjustment of the total contribution rate for new members of the CERN Pension Fund was adopted by the Council within the afore-mentioned package of measures in order to take account of the increase in longevity.

3. Health, Safety and Environment Health and safety services have been further improved or newly established to allow the Organization to systematically implement preventive measures, including the following highlights:

• A new modern OHS information system for the Medical Service was launched and is in production.

• An assessment was carried out of the Organization’s sanitary emergency management capabilities and a proposal for improvement will be made in early 2013.

• The Fire and Rescue Service is being equipped with a modern encrypted radio communication system (“TETRA”) that is technically compatible with the Host States’ emergency networks. Some of the main vehicles have been replaced by a state-of-the-art ambulance, new fire trucks and equipment carriers. A fire simulator was installed and is being used for regular training sessions.

• Regular technical safety inspections of CERN’s equipment were performed with an additional focus on machine conformity. ≈1,000 machine tools were inspected, with implementation of improvement measures co-ordinated by a centralised service in EN.

• Safety training and safety awareness has been stepped up with a view to the forthcoming long shutdown (LS1), with a focus on revised RP-training and LS1 safety briefings using e-learning and class room courses.

• Support in safety matters was provided for 99 projects (detailed safety advice followed up by all safety specialists, e.g. for the new Prévessin “main building”, Building 774).

• Safety advice was provided, including support for the drawing-up of safety files and procedures for safety clearance of new/existing

39

experiments (e.g. 5 AD experiments, 7 ISOLDE experiments, 2 experiments in the North Area, etc.).

• ActiWiz, is a new engineering tool provided by the Radiation Protection Group that assists projects to choose materials that will potentially be exposed to ionising radiation. The tool advises on material choice with a view to minimising the environmental impact, dose to personnel and the production of radioactive waste.

• A radioactive material tracking system, TREC, has been made available to ensure traceability of radioactive equipment. On the 2012 statistics side, 2,600 RP measurements were requested in buffer zones, corresponding to 1,100 m3 and 53.5 tons of equipment. TREC is installed in the LHC & SPS buffer zones (installation in the PS is due to start in 2013).

The preliminary accident statistics for the year 2012 comprise 253 work accidents and 50 commuting accidents. For MPE, the accidents at work caused 247 days off (254 days off due to commuting accidents).

The preliminary collective radiation dose to personnel for the year 2012 was 494 person-mSv (7% lower than in 2011). Again the number of dosimeters distributed has increased in 2012, reaching the record number of 8,061 dosimeters in operation while no one has received more than 2 mSv.

The continuous monitoring of CERN's environmental performance again showed that the Organization had a negligible impact on the environment in 2012. One of CERN’s corporate objectives is to optimise energy consumption and reduce acoustic noise disturbances.

Radioactive waste management entered a new phase in 2012, when the first ≈100 tons of waste left CERN, using the newly established pathway to France. With the Swiss Authorities the principles of free release were established, and the first devices were acquired and commissioned. The radioactive waste treatment centre (RWTC), a project well under way, will support processing and classification of the entire radioactive waste at CERN.

4. Collaboration Agreements A highlight of 2012 was the continuing geographical enlargement of CERN. Serbia became an Associate Member State in the pre-stage to Membership. The CERN Council unanimously admitted Cyprus to Associate Membership in the pre-stage to Membership. The related agreement was signed by the two parties and the status will come into force following notification to CERN of ratification by the Parliament of Cyprus. Negotiations for Associate Membership are on-going with Slovenia and Turkey. The latter has amended its application from Associate Membership in the pre-stage to Membership to regular Associate Membership. A number of other countries have also

submitted applications for Associate Membership (Brazil, the Russian Federation and Ukraine).

In addition, bilateral agreements between CERN and several other parties were signed. These include Protocols to International Co-operation Agreements (ICAs) that govern a non-Member State’s participation in specific CERN programmes. Several agreements have also been signed with partner institutes, laboratories and universities.

CERN’s expertise contributed to research projects such as at CNAO, ESS, FAIR, ITER, MedAustron, and SESAME. As detailed in Section IV.6, the number of European Union-supported projects continues to increase, particularly in cases where CERN is the project co-ordinator.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution granting CERN observer status.

New agreements and collaborations with non-Member State Governments and their agencies in 2012 were:

2 These headings include personnel and materials needed for R&Dand prototyping only. They do not contain the resources necessaryfor the start of HL-LHC construction, planned to be commissioned in the early 2020.

1a Romania as a Candidate for Accession paid 50% of its theoretical Member State contribution in 2012 and will pay 60% in 2013 (75% in 2014 and 100% as of 2015) as specified in Council Resolution CERN/2829 and updated by the Agreement signed by CERN and Romania on 11 February 2010.

3 The difference in the annual balance allocated to the budget deficitof 96.8 MCHF is due to a) the re-profiling and anticipated carry-forward as already included in the Final 2013 Budget with the 2012Probable Revenues and Expenses FC/5693 - CERN/3041; b) thecarry-forward in line with CERN's financial rules as shown in SectionIV.5; c) savings that reduce the deficit as shown in Section IV.5 of 5.4 MCHF, notably due to less energy consumption and less insurancecosts.

2. Total Revenues Figure 15: Total Revenues

Outstanding contributions amounted to 85.4 MCHF as at 31/12/2012. Revenues increased due to contributions from new Associate Member States and notably to other revenues (including sales and financial revenues). Conversely, the re-scheduling and delaying of some projects resulted in smaller in-kind and third party contributions.

3.1. Experiments (CERN’s contribution to the collaborations and experiments on site) and Accelerators Figure 17: Scientific Programme

Explanations on Figure 17:

The materials budget for the LHC machine and experimental areas was fully used. Some personnel resources were reallocated to consolidation activities, linked to the shutdown preparation.

The materials budget for the heading LHC machine and areas reliability and consolidation was fully committed at the end of 2012, with some supplies being delivered only in 2013.

The difference in personnel expenses amongst the LHC experiments is mainly due to the allocation of more fellows to this activity.

The materials expenses under the Non-LHC physics heading is closely linked to delayed expenses for the NA62 project, which is now scheduled for 2013/2014.

During the year, personnel resources were shifted from Scientific support to LHC detector improvement.

The materials heading for Low- and medium-energy accelerators was fully used for expenses on operation, but expenses for some projects like ISOLDROBOT were delayed to 2013.

More personnel resources were allocated to Accelerator technical services, which is linked to the start of the Maintenance Management project as well as some upgrades of facilities.

As for LHC consolidation, the materials budget for consolidation of the injector chain was fully committed at the end of 2012, with some deliveries only taking place in 2013.

3.2. Non-scientific Programme (Infrastructure and Supporting Services) Figure 18: Infrastructure and Services

Explanations on Figure 18: General facilities have incurred higher expenses with respect to the 2012 budget, notably due to the CERN car fleet, services to users, cleaning services and temporary barracks. However, this heading was stable, with respect to the previous year’s out-turn (2011). Administration expenses were higher due to subsistence payments for additional scientific associates, expenses for communication and external relations linked to the enlargement process and temporary staff in the Finance Department. The Outreach and KT budget was fully committed at the end of 2012. Of the materials expenses, 55% was used for scientific exchanges (students and scientific associates), 35% for outreach activities and 10% for expenses linked to knowledge transfer. With the implementation of the revised Administrative Circular No. 11, the overheads for associated members of personnel are now accounted against materials; previously the overheads for students and scientific associates were

handled under fellows (personnel) – this explains the transfer of 985 kCHF (compared with the published Final 2012 Budget - CERN/FC/5578) from personnel to materials for the Administration and Outreach headings. Under the centralised expenses:

• The internal taxation increase is linked to the staff strength within the agreed flexibility and the respective salary positions as well as to the applicable taxation rates. These expenses are offset by revenues;

• Less personnel was on detachment (expenses being offset by identical revenues);

• The variation for staff on saved leave is shown under paid but not available;

• The expenses for energy were lower than foreseen, mostly due to 6% less energy consumption than budgeted; the budget for water still included the financial cost of a loan by SIG, which is now correctly accounted for under interest payments (explaining the increase with respect to the budget) and capital repayment.

3.3. Projects (construction, R&D) Figure 19: Projects


CLIC has fully committed its budget, but some items will be delivered in 2013, resulting in a slight under-spending in 2012. The increase in personnel can be explained by the hiring of GET fellows on materials budget.

HIE-ISOLDE shows lower materials expenses due to a decision to reschedule and delay the completion of phase I. Some 30% of the 2012 expenses for HIE-ISOLDE are covered by external funding (1.1 MCHF).

In the beginning of 2012, it was decided to delay the ELENA project. The materials expenses for 2012 cover some studies and design of components. The project will be ramped up in 2013, with the external contributions for this project to be expected in 2014/2015. The higher costs in personnel are due to charges linked to saved leave.

The higher expenses for personnel under the R&D accelerator heading can be partly explained by staff and fellows allocated to new EU-supported projects under this heading (e.g. CRISP and TIARA), and work packages undertaken for outside collaborations such as ITER, for which additional revenues were secured. The difference between the personnel budget and out-turn under the EU projects, R&D detector heading is due to the charging of EU staff and fellows to EU projects against the specific activities, notably under R&D accelerators.

A new baseline was defined for LINAC4, and the materials budget was consequently re-profiled to 2013/2014. The personnel out-turn is higher than the budget due to the direct allocation of some staff from the workshop to this activity (fabrication of RF quadrupole), and more fellows assigned to the project.

The main reason for the increase in the personnel strength for LHC Injectors Upgrade is the transfer from materials to personnel budget for GET fellows working on this activity. The materials budget was not fully committed owing to some delays in the project planning, which is now aligned to the LINAC4 connection in long shutdown 2. The Cost-to-Completion is estimated at around 160 MCHF, to be confirmed by the results of the pre-study in 2013.

The personnel heading for the Performance-improving consolidation programme and Luminosity upgrade increased due to reallocation of some personnel from the LHC operation. The materials heading has been impacted by changes in scheduling.

The personnel heading of the LHC detectors improvement and R&D for LHC detectors improvement has increased significantly, due to reallocation of personnel from the Scientific support heading to this activity.

Due to changes in the planning, the total consumption of electrical power was less than budgeted. Following a correction in the accounting of the consumption, some expenses previously under the “baseload” heading were transferred to the “basic programmes”.

The expenses on heating oil and gas were more than budgeted, due to the cold winter.

Expenses on water are significantly lower. However, this is mostly due to the fact that the budget still contained the cost of a loan by Geneva’s industrial services (SIG) investment dating back to the LEP construction, which is now shown under financial expenses.

4. Operating Expenses by Nature Figure 22: Materials Expenses by Nature (including Interest and Financial costs)

The layout of the table has been adapted to the implementation of the revised Administrative Circular No. 11 and follows the current structure of the accounts reviewed in 2012. Therefore, some headings cannot be compared directly between the Final 2012 Budget and the 2012 Out-Turn.

The “Associated Members of Personnel” (MPA) and “Other overheads” headings should be compared as a sum (in Final 2012 Budget “Consultancy” and “MPA” were grouped under “Third party payments and consultants”). The 1.6 MCHF positive balance under these two headings is mainly due to a later arrival of MPAs and a lower cost of transport because of the delayed shutdown.

The total increase of 15.6 MCHF for “Industrial services” as already announced in the 2012 Probable Expenses and Revenues is linked to the preparation work for the shutdown: the supporting technical teams needed to be trained extensively, well in advance, to be ready for the shutdown start.

The difference of some 100 MCHF on goods and consumables is mainly due to a) the re-scheduling of multi-annual projects and consolidation as presented in December for the 2012 probable expenses, more expenses under Industrial services (to overcome manpower shortages) and open commitments at the end of the year.

In addition, changes in planning resulted that the total consumption of electricity was less than budgeted (see also Figure 20). More explanations on the expenses breakdown by nature are given in the 2012 Annual Accounts.

The total CERN staff member strength in 2012 was 2,423 FTEs, of which 68.7 FTEs were charged to team accounts and 2,354.3 FTEs to CERN accounts (of which 2,319.8 FTEs on CERN’s core budget, 21.8 FTEs on EU funding, 4.5 FTEs on OpenLab, and 8.2 FTEs on other external revenues). The Paid but Not Available personnel accounts for 28 FTEs, which means a total of 2,326.3 active FTEs charged to CERN accounts. For fellows the total staff strength was 513.2 FTEs, comprising 31 FTEs charged to team accounts and 482.2 FTEs to CERN accounts (of which 378.2 FTEs on CERN’s core budget, 91.6 FTEs on EU funding, 8.9 FTEs on OpenLab and 3.5 FTEs on other external revenues). The total apprentices strength was 21.8 FTEs, all paid on CERN accounts.

Basic salariesContribution to Saved Leave schemes

53

The increase of the provision for paid leave of 5.4 MCHF results from the first-time introduction of the new Long-term Saved leave Scheme, where additional days were granted as an incentive to staff members to join the scheme.

The special allowances were lower than anticipated as fewer staff than expected joined the progressive retirement programme (PRP), and therefore lower PRP allocations were paid. Various allowances are following the trend as in 2011, however the Final 2012 Budget was already approved at that moment. Overtime was less than anticipated, which is linked to the delayed start of the long shutdown. In general, the staff expenses are slightly lower than anticipated, whereas the fellowship programme increased. This is due to more EU-supported and external funding as well as transfers from materials for the GET fellowships.

The travel and removal costs and installation indemnity on taking up appointment and travel and end-of-contract removal costs are included in the heading “Installation and removal costs”. The termination allowances in the centralised personnel expenses mainly include reinstallation indemnities and unemployment benefits. The indemnity paid upon termination of a limited-duration contract, as well as the variation in the provision for termination indemnities are not included under this heading, but under various allowances. The number of payments for additional periods of membership to the pension fund for shift work cannot be reliably anticipated as the decision on exercising the right for early retirement are made by the individuals. The increase in CERN’s payment for the health insurance for its retirees increases due to the Council decision in the last Five-Yearly Review on annual percentage increases to the health insurance scheme. More explanations on the personnel expenses breakdown by nature are given in the 2012 Annual Accounts.

5. Carry-forward Figure 26: Carry-forward


The carry-forward is established on the basis of Article 9 of the Financial Rules which states: “The budget amounts shall be compared with the amounts of the final budget out-turn. The positive balance of that part of the budget which is allocated to multi-annual projects shall be carried-forward to the following year within the Cost-to-Completion. The unused part of the budget allocated to operation shall be carried-forward to the following financial year, provided that it relates to commitments open when the accounts for the financial year concerned are closed. Any excess budget expenses shall be carried forward to the next financial year.” A carry-forward for projects was already anticipated under 2012 Probable Revenues and Expenses in the Final 2013 Budget (CERN/FC/5693 - CERN/3041). This entailed a reduction in allocations to project expenses (mainly for goods and supplies) in the 2012 Budget of 86.7 MCHF, of which 64.1 MCHF were carried-forward to 2013, and 22.6 MCHF to later years. The carry-forward shown in Figure 26 is established by comparing the adjusted budget amounts for 2012 (Probable Revenues and Expenses) as published in the Final Budget 2013 (CERN/FC/5693) and the 2012 Budget Out-turn. Any positive balance between the budget and expenses plus open commitments is used to further reduce the deficit. The figures under the Operation heading do not include the impact of advanced payments for licences, subscriptions, etc. EU and TT projects are not included in the Project heading in the table. The amounts shown in Figure 26 include the changes in expenses under centralised expenses. These are mainly due to lower energy consumption and are used to reduce the deficit.

Explanations on Figure 27: Figure 27 shows all EU projects other than Marie Curie projects still active in 2012. 2012 figures are split into EU-funded expenses and additional expenses funded by CERN’s core budget in line with the specific contracts signed separately for each project. Most of the EU-supported projects concern IT developments (EGI-Inspire, EMI) or R&D for accelerators and detectors (Eucard, Aida, Hi-Lumi, not to be mixed with HL-LHC). The EU contribution for projects other than Marie Curie projects has increased by 23.3 %. 12 new EU projects have been selected for funding, for a total European Commission (EC) contribution of 12.4 M€ (over a period of 2 to 5 years). The newly selected projects are funded under the following FP7 programmes:

- Marie-Curie: 5 projects, EC funding for CERN of 10.8 M€, - E-infrastructure: 1 project, EC funding for CERN of 0.4M€, - Research Infrastructures: 2 projects, EC funding for CERN of 0.4 M€, - Cooperation: 4 projects, EC funding for CERN of 0.8 M€.

Out of these 12 projects, 3 are coordinated by CERN and 2 are mono-sites (CERN is the only beneficiary of the grant). Out of a total number of 88 FP7 projects funded since 2007, 24 are or have been coordinated and 17 are or have been mono-sites, which is a significant increase in comparison with the former Framework Programme (14 projects coordinated by CERN and/or mono-sites out of 39 under FP6).

Figure 28: Marie Curie Projects


Figure 28 shows all EU Marie Curie Projects at CERN still active in 2012. 2012 figures are split into EU-funded expenses and additional expenses funded by CERN’s core budget in line with the specific contract signed separately for each project.

In 2012, Marie Curie Projects represented 45.6% of CERN’s total EU funding. This is mostly due to the 4-year Initial Training Networks and the two first Cofund projects, which aims at co-funding a CERN fellowship programme.

The EU funding for Marie Curie projects has significantly increased by 28% in 2012. Despite the end of major projects (Cofund, Partner, Aceole, MC-Pad), the EU funding for Marie Curie projects is expected to increase slightly in 2013, confirming CERN’s success in obtaining training-oriented projects.

Figure 29: EU Projects financial status – Projects completed in 2012


Figure 29 shows the use of EU contributions at CERN for the whole project duration for finished projects with a financial activity in 2012. The utilization rate of the EU financial contribution has systematically been over 90%. The lower use of contribution for 3 ITN projects is due to the difference between flat rates used by the EC to compute the financial contribution and the real costs incurred by the Organization.

Figure 30: EU Projects financial status - On-going projects


Figure 30 compares the time spent since the beginning of each EU project and the financial EU contribution used as at 31.12.2012. Apart from projects for which expenses are not linear (mostly Marie Curie projects such as Cofund-2, PicoSec or Cathi, where the researchers are recruited during the first year), the table generally shows a correlation between time and the contribution used.

AIDA The AIDA, “Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators (AIDA)”, project is a 4-year project to which more than 80 institutes and laboratories from 23 European countries contribute. The project aims to upgrade, improve and integrate key European research infrastructures and develop advanced detector technologies for future particle accelerators (LHC upgrade, Linear Colliders, Neutrino facilities and Super-B factories). Moreover, researchers from outside the project can benefit from EU Transnational Access funding to access AIDA test beams and irradiation facilities. The project is coordinated by CERN. More information can be found at: http://aida.web.cern.ch/aida/index.html. 2012 was a very active period; progress was made on all 9 WPs significant. The project is now at its mid-term; after almost two years of operation all WPs are in routine operation mode. Over the year 2012 many events took place, with more than 16 participations in conferences and collaboration meetings. The first annual AIDA meeting held in DESY in March 2012 was very successful, especially the Industry-Academia Matching Event on Position sensitive detectors. This annual meeting triggered very good progress in the domain of irradiation facilities at CERN. In 2012, excellent use of resources was made in the area of TNA (Trans National Access); during the year more than 120 persons were supported by AIDA to contribute to test beam activities and 30 persons to irradiation activities. To prepare for future experiments, some considerable efforts are going into the upgrade; there is very good progress in implementing common SW and organising its repository, in developing IP blocks (65 nm CMOS technology) and testing chips for the FE electronics and in making first prototypes for future detectors.

EMI The European Middleware Initiative (EMI) is a 3-year project coordinated by CERN. The project is a 24 MEUR collaboration of four of the major grid middleware providers in Europe, ARC, dCache, gLite and UNICORE, and other consortia. Its main goal is to maintain and evolve the grid services used across the grid infrastructures in Europe and currently at the core of a large part of the WLCG computing infrastructure. In 2012 EMI has released its second major software distribution composed of services in the areas of computing, data management, security and infrastructure management, extending its availability to new operating systems and providing new functionality to support the evolving requirements of WLCG.

EuCARD The duration of the EuCARD project has been extended by 4 months from the end of March to the end of July 2013. The first goal is to disentangle the production of the deliverables from the significant final reporting effort, both on deliverables and on global project progress and issues. The second goal is to optimize the transition between EuCARD and EuCARD2 that will begin in June 2013. The EuCARD network activity has already fulfilled the initial goals, and beyond: the network on neutrino facilities has delivered input to the Strategy Upgrade process. The Accelerator Network (especially EuroLumi) has established itself as the brainstorming place for upgrades and futures facilities, and provided new ideas and collaborative framework for several major options for CERN’s future. Its results were the basis for the large extensions of networks in EuCARD2. The transnational access facilities will have provided more than the requested access units for MICE and close to the commitment for HiRadMat, in spite of its major construction delay. In the vast majority of the 21 joint research tasks, the results mark significant progress in the field, even though some deliverables will be late (up to 1.5 years) due mostly to the complexity of the R&D: the technological development of high-field magnets is a first in Europe and has shown no show-stopper and it has stimulated the CERN-US collaboration. Due to the requirement of additional iterations in the R&D, the final model magnet will be 1.5 years late. It will be integrated in the cable test station FRESCA. However, its HTS field booster insert is only a few months late. Other deliverables are on time, such as the successful superconducting links. Both the collimator and advanced concepts work packages have produced all their due deliverables with success, except the last one which is expected to be delivered on time. The Normal Conducting RF WP has all its deliverables in March 2013. The intermediate results show no issue and the WP results are expected to fulfil the ambitious R&D goals. In the superconducting RF WP, one task related to RF coupler industrialization will not produce its deliverable. This is essentially due to organisational reasons at the unique beneficiary. Otherwise, the crab cavity R&D is already a great success with the project already ahead of its objectives and of high value for the LHC upgrade (technology and external competence). The elliptical cavities for SPL will be late by less than one year, due to the combination of a late order due to a cost overrun and delays at the manufacturer. All other R&D tasks appear on good track to deliver on time.
