“…The main functions of this card are to control the wire scanner motion and to acquire the position of the wire. In case of further upgrades at a later stage, it is required to allow an easy update of the firmware, hence the programmable features of FPGAs will be used for this purpose. …”

“…A primary motivation for the workshop was the expected harmful electron-cloud effects in the upgraded LHC injectors and in future linear colliders, as well as recent beam observations in operating facilities like ANKA, CESR, KEKB, RHIC, and SPS. …”

“…After applying various kinematics cuts to remove the main backgrounds (gamma-gamma-->b-bbar and misidentified gamma-gamma-->q-qbar events), we find that a Higgs boson with mH = 120 GeV/c^2 could be observed in the b-bbar channel with a 3sigma-significance integrating 300 pb^-1 with an upgraded pA luminosity of 10^31 cm^-2s^-1. We also provide for the first time semielastic Higgs cross sections, along with elastic t-tbar cross sections, for electromagnetic pp, pA and AA collisions at the LHC .…”

“…Furthermore, the effects on the gas mixture of the foreseen factor 10 increase of luminosity for the LHC upgraded phase should be studied. We present the results of systematic studies of the impurities produced in the RPC chambers irradiated in the high intense photon flux of the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF), in order to understand the properties of possible absorbers in a series of orderly tests. …”

“…Modern, concurrent computing techniques optimized for new processor hardware are being exploit to boost future computing resources, but even most optimistic scenarios predict that additional action needs to be taken to guarantee sufficient Monte Carlo production for high quality physics results during Run 2, and even more so, for a future upgraded accelerator. We present concepts, plans and a full first testbed of a new fast Monte Carlo production chain starting from event generation towards final physics analyses. …”

“…During the next data-taking period (Run-2) starting in early 2015, the LHC will operate at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, resulting in roughly five times higher trigger rates. We will review the upgrades to the ATLAS trigger system that have been implemented during the long shutdown and that will allow us to cope with these increased trigger rates while maintaining or even improving our efficiencies to select relevant physics processes. …”

“…Similarly, the MBTS will select events for the first Run 2 physics measurements, for instance charge multiplicity, proton-proton cross section, rapidity gap measurements, etc. at the unprecedented 13 TeV center of mass energy of proton-proton collisions. We will review the upgrades to the MBTS detector that have been implemented during the 2013-2014 shutdown. …”
