First Months of Data Taking at LHC

  • 1. Universita di Genova, Dipartimento di Fisica, Via Dodecanneso 33, 16132 Genova (Italy)

Description

The ATLAS and CMS detector will start taking data at the LHC collider (proton-proton collider working at a center of mass energy of 14 TeV) in summer 2007. In this article I will review the commissioning of the two detectors before the starting of LHC and the analysis of the first pp collisions data (10 pb-1) devoted, mainly, to calibration purposes. I will also briefly review the first physics measurements aiming at the understanding of the detectors performance
