============================================================ Summary of the Friday 17 February 2011 Bfys Meeting at Nikhef ============================================================ Present: Gerhard Raven (1ste deel), Wouter Hulsbergen (2e deel), Jeroen van Leerdam, Chiara Farinelli, Antonio Pellegrino, Marcel Merk, Thomas Bauer, Tjeerd Ketel. Connected via EVO: Patrick Koppenburg.
News (Marcel): - Rose Koopman will start as a new OIO on 1 May or 1 June and work on OT and Bs to mu+mu. - Seven invitations are out for the 3-4 post-doc positions. One candidate visited us yesterday. - The LHCb is ready for data in 2011. Gerhard has a dead line for delivering the HLT for the new data conditions. Pile-up may have the missing module half recovered. - Shifts will be taken with contributions from all collaborators as discussed on a recent Nikhef LHCB staff meeting. - Barbara will go to the Lake Louise Conference. Alexandr, Niels, Marcel and Eric Laenen will go to Moriond. - Beauty 2011 is well on track. Please register in time. Poster contibutions are possible for the PhD students.
J/Psi paper: No more comments. Antonio regrets the chosen definition of differential cross-sections. He will try to educate people on this.
Upgrade LOI: Marcel made a review about mainly the Physics chapter. It is a very good overview of the physics case. Soon we will make up our minds about the upgrade plans of the Nikhef group. Antonio realises that the LHCb phase 1 will collect 5 fm-1 in stead of 3 fm-1. This summer it should be worked out if the present OT can stand this.
More papers will come soon after Moriond. Each paper will be on our bfys agenda for discussion before final submission. Only a selected number will be discussed with a shortly prepared presentation by one of our group.
Best regards, Tjeerd ============================================================

Dear Colleagues,
I have booked a bfys meeting in N328 with EVO for Friday 18 February 9:30-11:00 h

- Measurement of J/psi production in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV
- Letter of Intent for the LHCb Upgrade
Both documents are available for final comments http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1328363 and https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/LHCb/LHCbUpgrade/LOI.pdf
If you have comments on the papers which you would like to bring up in the Nikhef group, please, prepare a slide about it.
